Walter's (resurrected) J-POP Page

I have had a J-POP page up since 1997.

I never got much response to it, so I took it down in Dec. 2004.

A few weeks later I got an invite to a new J-POP discussion group on Yahoo.

I decided to resurrect my page, with totally new information and links!

What is J-POP and why do I like it?

J-pop is Japanese popular music.

I enjoy it because it is different, unusual,

a lot of fun, and a bit hard to find!

· Where to listen to J-POP

You are in luck! There are a BUNCH of J-POP Internet radios stations on line. The situation is much better than when I first started listing to J-POP!

… and so do I!

If you want to download some J-POP MP3s, forget about the web! Back in the pre-Napster days the WWW was the place to go for J-POP. Not anymore. Sites like J-Mart.com, Riechan's Music Headquarters, Eling Japanese Now, et al are long gone!

You want J-POP MP3s? Turn to Usenet. Don't know what Usenet is? Neither does the RIAA! Spend some time doing a Google search. Once you have a good newsreader installed, go to alt.binaries.sounds.jpop. This small newsgroup has rather a lot of good J-POP!
