In the West, the Japan "in-crowd" is mostly only interested in the big clichés... Visual Kei (don't get them started on the Gazette, An Cafe or Girugamesh or they will MURDER you) or some J-Rock. (And only then a limited selection. Anything HYDE does or Gackt... better selling groups like Glay, B'z and Mr. Children are a mystery to them)

Still, I don't mind. As long as I have a few friends I can discuss it with, I actually prefer it this way. I can't help but thing their music and image will become tainted as soon as they enter the Western market : /
