When I was looking at the article, I honestly didn't expect to see such a well developed history of J-Pop as many other music genres are looked more into and K-Pop for example is an Asian music genre that has much more global popularity. The article covers so much history with the genre, I was unsure what I could say about adding to the article. The 2010s was lack-luster, especially considering that idol groups are such a mainstream thing around the world. When adding to the article, I would recommend doing plenty of research on idol groups and the industry surrounding idol groups. Make sure that you are looking at articles that cover Japan as they are more than likely mixed in with articles about South Korea due to the similarities between the country's music industries when it comes to idols. The Japan idol industry is very toxic with many controversies and a disturbing history that you could add to the article. Another addition to the article is adding to the 'artists' heading to list achievements of the artists that are listed. Another suggestion which isn't included in the article is how Korean artists are breaking into Japan. Many K-Pop artists translate their most popular songs into Japanese and even release Japanese only singles to break into the J-Pop industry.
