The reason I think songs like hitomi's Japanese Girl could do well here is not only because it's a good song but it also sells 'Japaneseness' in much the same way Shakira and Ricky Martin sold an easily digestible and mainstream version of latin music in Whenever Wherever and Livin' La Vida Loca respectively.
I think alot of J-pop could do very well in Europe, like Namie's What A Feeling or anything with similar 80's or electronia influence, which I think is more common in J-pop than R&B influence.
