Line 1:
An umbrella term for certain music in Japan, with the genres it covers largely analogous to pop music in the US. Nicknamed "J-Pop", it is most known to fans outside Japan for [[Idol Singer]]s and that many such songs are often featured in [[Anime]] openings and endings due to alliances between certain animation studios and record companies (i.e. lots of Sony artists have tie-ins with shounen anime produced by Sony). That is to say nothing of the copious amounts of [[Gratuitous English]] that are a hallmark of the genre. Also note that many voice actors have singing careers too but most focus on the niche anison market and a rare few actually attempt to break into the mainstream market.
[[Your Mileage May Vary]] on the usage of the term J-pop as it technically isn't a genre and only tells one where the artist is from. Some music fans get irritated by its treatment as a defined genre as it is really just regular pop, but happens to be Japanese. Same goes for J-rock, J-urban, J-metal and any other genre that has the letter j thrown in front of it to describe Japanese artists. Of course, the same can technically also be said of anime or "anison".
