Personally, I wouldn't call it J-pop. It's more like J-hip-hop.

KAT-TUN is a music group from Japan.

The group's name was originally an acronym based on the first letter of each member's family name: Kazuya Kamenashi, Jin Akanishi, Junnosuke Taguchi, Koki Tanaka, Tatsuya Ueda, and Yuichi Nakamaru. Their debut on March 22, 2006 was marked by a tripartite release of a CD single, album and music DVD on their exclusive record label J-One Records. Since then, all of their single, album and music DVD releases have debuted at number one on the Oricon music and DVD charts.

Today The group is reduced to 3 members :

  • Kazuya Kamenashi

Rather than labelling all of the groups or artists as Jpop or whatever they're doing, Japanese music needs to include more J-music genres.
