OK, so I have a few problems with the site:
A) The "Hardstyle" they have listed as hardstyle isn't hardstyle. I know hardstyle (and hate it, for that matter), and that isn't hardstyle...
B) their desription of J-pop is very narrow. And most of the samples are eurobeat remixes (and not labled as such, which ticks me off). And all of it is dance music, which not all of J-pop is. And there's WAAAAAAY more to J-pop than just "DDR" and "bubblegum pop". WAY more.
C) Eurobeat comes from Italodisco, if i'm not mistaken. Not whatever it is that they said (J-pop and something else). And, I might be wrong, becasue I'm not very experienced with Italodisco, but I'm not even sure that the samples they have of Italodisco are Italodisco.
D) unless its under an "a.k.a.", the site comepletely fails to mention Hands Up. *sigh*
I can't comment on the rest, though I'm sure there are other errors. The site seems "tries-too-hard" to me. Like, its trying to put far too much info in far less explanation than it should be explained in. It takes more than a paragraph and a few samples to understand a genre.
but maybe that's just me.
