The rock music that western critics obsess over I generally find a bit boring and just copying western models. Critics and many western people only seem to be interested in things that have obvious western models, from beat groups to punk bands etc. The pop music though has been the heart of Japanese music and led the way in the far east in the 70s and 80s. Since then I think it hasn't been as good but still some great songs now and again.
