I'm not a professional with a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology, history, etc, so I am sorry if I have written anything that is arrogant, offensive, or incorrect. The opinions reflected are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of Robert Ryan, Lawrence University, any of the creators' web pages I am linked to, or those that I mention in this study. I hope that you enjoy this site and explore other sources of information about Japanese pop music, and also Asian cultures in general.
