Quality and standards are going to vary from person to person. I don't really believe there is any definitive standard or definition for music quality that is universal in a sense it can not be disputed. It's all based on opinion. emiko used Koda Kumi as her example of quality music, however I love Koda just as much but from my perspective Koda hasn't produced quality up until her recent release. Do that mean Koda hasn't make quality music and emiko's wrong? No. It's subjective.
It's the same thing with Western vs. Non-Western. People could argue for or against Western music having no standard or that Japanese music is just screechy stupid pop music but in the end there are going to be some people who prefer slvtty dance music over grand emotional ballads and vise versa. It doesn't make either type of song worse than the other.
