What about putting together a list of jpop related terms? The terms for kpop are more or less well known in the forum; but, what about a jpop lexicon? I know the most used term for describing jpop idols as being cute is kawaii. What about bias? What about stan? Are they the same terms? I know many of those terms come from Japanese, so there is also a way to write them using Japanese characters. Maybe not all of them come from Japanese, at least the ones used by international fans. So lets put a lexicon together.
