Maybe because of the limited context I've experienced them, Japanese singers (Kiriko Takemura in Pinback's example or Ayumi Hamasaki) feel expressly limited, as if they are placed in a plastic box when off stage.
But I also feel expressly awkward as a 20 something, mildly overweight man watching heavily dolled up Japanese girls sing about candy...

I made it 2 minutes into the Japanese Girl song all I could think of was my young teenage niece and her anime interest and cringe. Just sayin'.
