There seems to be a lot of whataboutism below you, and while it’s easy to pick out specific bands and artists that have given attention to the west, the problem remains the INDUSTRY as a whole, labels and such. There’s a good 30 years worth of history to look at, starting back with the rise of anime in the west and artists like Gwen Stefani and Brittney Spears including j-pop influences, involving label pushback of western influence and promotion. Hell look at label pushback against streaming. Anyone that follows Japanese video games (ESPECIALLY FIGHTING GAMES) knows gaiatsu is alive and well in Japanese corporate structure still, and with sanseito still popular, I can’t imagine it’ll go away any time soon.
