People in America can see that too, and Japanese music has been getting intershipped, people stop liking the bands. I guarntee you if America had a band that was truly into their music and a true idol to look up too, and if another country like them and was buying them off I-Tunes and constantly playing them on youtube, this American band would ship their music to another country because it is better buisness. Anyone know what I am getting at?
So I really don't see why Japan bands should be put down for this reason. Bands everyone can get tired of the music they play or their look. For example, if a band played nothing but dark music and sad lyrics and one day they see the world in different eyes and decide to change, why should we put them down if they change? That example isn't really a good one but it mainly grabs the point I am trying to make.

When you say America's music has some really bad music,that is true, but that doesn't mean that it's all bad or that Japanese music is necessarily all good. It's got some real shite as well, which is partly what we are discussing, but w/e. I saw this really disturbing jpop music video the other day, and i know we are talking about vk here, but i'm just using that to point out that there is crappy Japanese music. I see what you say about bands going for a new look though, etc. and how we shouldn't blame them for changing, i wish they wouldn't change sometimes though if it sucks
