I'll go for another point -Loads of Japanese music is very well known in UK/ America - ok, Fushitsusha aren't selling out the Albert Hall, but Otomo can do a nationwide tour of the UK. There's obviously loads of stuff that we don't know about, but Japanese music does have some currency overseas - I can only imagine that there's something exciting going on, whether current or folk, that's exciting in pretty much all countries. I downloaded an album of, mostly, amazing Azerbaijani music the other day, but I have absolutely no way of finding out much about it, or plenty of exciting music from elsewhere. My housemate has recently got into West African music, and there's such a daunting amount of amazing stuff from there, and, I suspect, everywhere. Japanese music, if anything, is fairly well known in the West.
Innit?
