Some artists I like:

AAA
Exile
Epik High
Flow
Flumpool
L`Arc~En~Ciel
Mr Children
Uverworld
Yui
Stereopony

That's just off the top of my head. Most of them aren't 'pop' but that's the jpop I listen to usually :p (except Epik High which is Kpop)

Anyways. I'm not actually hating. I respect everyone elses musical tastes.

Good to see at least there's a group of people who all listen to it :p

Depends on the type of asian pop.

K-pop tends to be hyper catchy bubbly electronica, and the industry over there is intent on girl/boy bands (some fill up to 13 members!) and each song has a special unique dance to it. Each song has a cultural blip; their own 15 minutes of fame where everyone has fun dancing the dance along with singing the song.

C-pop...don't ever go into Karaoke if the crowd is predominantly from Hong Kong. Sure, the musicians work on their own and are usually classically trained - so you do get some wonderfully emotive stuff coming through. But therein lies the problem. EVERY SONG IS A HEARTBREAK BALLAD. If you have a night of K with HK friends you'll come out depressed and moody and what used to be a heart is now an upturned grave of painful memories.

J-pop I'm not too sure about, but surely your brother is more of an expert than I ever could be. I do know they have a huge jazz following though.

I tried listening to Asian music during my 'fitting in' high school years and failed miserably. Just couldn't get into it.

I do bust out SNSD though, because I love that **** and they're hot. It's a guilty pleasure and I secretly want to learn the dance, teehee.
