Yeah, I'm with the OP and Emiko on this one...

I don't judge people for liking Anime music at all. But if it's ANIME music that you like, don't say you're a Jpop fan. Say you like Anime music. Say you like Love Hina, Evangelion, and Case Closed music.

If you don't know who the artist is, and you only associate the song with an anime, you're not a jpop fan, you're an anime music fan. Don't misrepresent yourself. Jpop fans love finding other jpop fans, and part of it is because we're not really into anime as much. I only find out a jpop song I like is from an anime AFTER I already decided I like it. XD

"Do you know 'I can't stop my love for you'?"
"No, who's it by?"
"It's from Detective Conan." <-- You've got an anime fan on your hands!

"Do you know 'I can't stop my love for you'?"
"No, who's it by?"
"Aiuchi Rina." <-- Jpop fan. (This is an example of a song I didn't know was in an anime until after I'd already seen the PV ~)

I'm not really into anime music (though I have some classics I'll always love and some composers I've been happy with), so meeting someone who's into Anime music isn't really gonna do much for me, is all. Again, I don't judge, especially since anime music is a great gateway drug to more jpop. But they need to show interest in branching out of the anime music world or I'm not gonna have anything to talk about them with, and that's disappointing.
