Content
Artists of any genre are welcome in this wiki as long as they're based in Japan, releasing music in the Japanese market. This is to make the scope of what we cover smaller and to ensure that the wiki doesn't go too much off-topic by including jpop-inspired international artists. If you want more coverage on a jpop-inspired international act, please visit International Idols Wiki.

Additionaly, song pages are not allowed; Information on them is typically listed on the release page, and there are better places out there for publishing and browsing for lyrics, translations, etc.
