^nah, I don't necessarily think that makes them dated if they are released later. That actually happens quite a lot. At one stage, it is just a demo that gets polished and besides certain trends, music overall is timeless. If you release a dubstep song right now it would be dated, because that was a certain sound at one point - but if a song isn't trendy from the get go, it probably does not sound old because it does not throw back to a certain year of music that scrams "thats so 19...." in your head.
Your example also caters to that. I don't think BBC was very 2013, nor do I think it sounds dated now. Its just a pop song. I also don't think SWEETEST TABOO sounded dated when it came out, nor does it now.
Overall J-Pop certainly does not follow trends to start with. If they do, it mostly sounds funny.
