Music in Japan

Okay so I have talked to a few people about this, I actually get asked a lot here what kind of music I like. Of course, I give the "Oh I like everything" answer but it's true! The very first person I met is really into J-Pop, but then I met this kid at my school who LOVES Queen. OHH! Several people here have asked me if I liked Backstreet Boys, a lot of Japanese people like them (mostly guys I think). The point I'm getting to is that they like American music, they like some Japanese music too, but American stuff, like ANYTHING American, they go crazy over that stuff! (Ehem! I'm American :P )
