I live in Japan and all the pop music is like that. Very manufactured. Look at AKB-48 and those types. They look manufactured in a factory. Where's the girl with thick eyebrows? Glasses? Freckles? Big ears? None of them have distinguishing charm points and they may as well be androids. All of these people are phonies. They are given songs to sing, dances to dance, etc. There's nothing genuine about it, not like friends forming a band, doing cover songs and writing their own music, bellowing into a microphone and asking friends to come watch them on stage at some bar, etc. No, these pop singers are recruited and manufactured by Johnny's, etc. I'm glad my teenage daughter doesn't like this sort of music. She calls them "LGBTS" and hates the effeminite boy groups.
