About your sig.. It's too big.. The maximum size for sigs here is 500 wide by 100 tall (smaller if you've got text over or under it)
Check out the rules for a disambiguation on this.

As for J-Pop, I positively despise it. Mainly for the same reason I dislike a lot of Japanese stuff, the people that like it usually seem to be of the attitude that they are somehow better than those who don't like it.
I will say that I DO generally find Japanese pop music less annoying than American pop.

Oh well, to each their own.

The closest thing that I listen to would be Eurobeat.

Never really listened to any. The Naruto theme music is pretty cool though. Who does that?

I hope you mean the Japanese theme music. I don't really care for the American kind. It has no words.

Actually, there are some (like myself) that do like j-rock, but not because they think it's better, rather than they just like the music. I mean, if you have a CD that has Nirvana on it, as well as the pillows, then I would be in heaven.

At first I thought this was about an eastern soda. But no, and I've never heard any.(although I have heard German pop/rap. THAT is weird.)

J-pop... Just as with any music, there is good J-pop and bad J-pop. I really enjoy the band See-Saw, who did the music for .hack//SIGN and the Gundam Seed series, and I like some, but not all, of the opening and closing themes for things like Naruto and Bleach. On the other hand, while I am TOTALLY and ABSOLUTELY in love with the soundtrack to the anime Blood+, the opening themes to it usually make me cringe. Some of the Naruto and Bleach songs are the same - they get some good and some bad on there.

Point being, there are good and bad kinds of every genre. Except rap and country. Those are just bad, period. Though, some genres have more good songs than others - J-pop, for example, has many times the number of good songs with high levels of musicality than the American variety.

I dont mind J-pop, its just the J-pop that will switch between english and jp mid song that annoys me, However I'm a big fan of some of the japanese 20th/ 21st century instrumental/techno stuff....

I'm guessing Yatta would be considered J-pop. I like that, as well as other songs used in animutations.
