so, HI HI! Welcome to the World Of J-POP! (btw ... Iron Chef is such a nice show!) Yup, it's quite certain that J-pop artistes are rather hardworking writing their own lyrics and composing their own songs. J-pop (ok, almost 90% of us don't get what they are singing about) but I think it's the rhythm and music that attracts us.
For me, I don't think that music from J-pop can be like part of Mandopop (Chinese) or English Pop. It's very unique, something like you wouldn't expect some english or chinese artistes to have this kind of music. It's a very new and fresh area. (Not to mention about the mixes hehe ...) (ok, personal opinion only)
So, try listening to several different artistes.
(I got hooked up after listening to SPEED's White Love and then I saw Ayumi's YOU MV in some TV Programme and after that her shocking LOVEppears cover, then I started listening to J-pop straight after that. Now my sis does too. )
