*shrugs* I just like the way "vocalist" sounds over "singer". Less harsh to my ear for some reason.

Speaking of the lack of J-pop and such in the US...
This is one reason I do not like XM satellite radio. There is no Japanese station on it, or atleast there wasn't when I worked at Circuit City. This is why I really wanted that web radio to succeed (the service that allowed you to listen to actual radio stations from around the world) but I don't think it did very well.

I know! I thought for sure XM would have something like that considering how much they brag about their music library. 'Tis disheartening.

I think there's something still like the web radio you're talking about... I know a friend of mine listens to a station based in Osaka. Not sure what site she tunes in from though :/

I really love Utada Hikaru's songs. Sometimes my friends and i try to sing it and record it. ^^ the first song i heard from her was Simple and Clean in english, but the song that i really first listened what First Love.
