6 J-Pop Artists Who Should Come to America Right Now

Outside of the convention scene, J-Pop acts don't usually make it to America. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is one of the few singers who has rolled out a full-blown touring stage in the recent years, and though the J-Rockers have continued to draw crowds, most of the best-known names of J-Pop remain a distant dream for their North American fans.

Here are five shows I think is America is ready for!


1. A Johnny's Entertainment Showcase

SMTown and YG Family do tours-- why shouldn't Johnny's? Sure, there's a lot of them... but that's kinda the point!

2. AKB48

If they can't bring the otaku boys out, I don't know who will (Miku?)

3. EXILE

They may be an older act, but do we fangirls really care? I sure don't! They sound good, look good, and put on a great live show.

4. Momoiro Clover Z

Their costumes and stage antics would be so fun to see live. They may be kawaii, but it's a powerful kind of cuteness

5. Namie Amuro

Out of the female solo pool, Namie's got the full package when it comes to singing, dancing, and putting on a crazy show

6. TM Revolution

He's an icon, fan favorite, and visually one of the most remarkable non-visual kei performers in Japan. He'd bring the house down and have a lot of fun doing it
