I was just thinking... Anime and J-pop is so popular in America, why not make a radio station dedicated to J-pop? Reply your thoughts, if you want...  |

A good idea, but you can find that well enough with internet radio that I don't think anyone would bother actually starting a real radio station for J-pop in this day and age. There may be a lot of people who like J-pop in the US now, but I don't think it's anywhere near enough to constitute a radio station in most major cities, especially when you compare it to most other genres of popular music in the US; there may be a lot of fans, but what you really need is a lot of percentage. |

I'm no american, but there's a radio show in my country that aired twice a week each for 2 hours, playing J-Music and review anime. It has large number of fans. Fanatic ones. But a very own radio station for J-music? Beats me. Anyway, there are several j-music radio on the internet. J-fan.com for instance.
