I’m not saying this is the case, but particularly in the 90s and early 2000s, a lot of J-POP used foreign people to make things look more “authentic” , or to add a “cool factor”.

Avex has lots of money back in the day, so it wouldn’t have been an issue. But again, who knows what the actual reason was haha.
