How on earth are there only 4 JPop boy-groups and 3 JPop girl-groups in the list if its about the opinion of Japanese people and why is does it makes me confused that one of of the 4 boygroups is Orbit. I would've guessed people in Japan would choose Number_i, Snow Man, BE:FIRST, SixTONES, and so on but this entire list is wild with almost not choosing anyone from Japan

I've actually tried to look at some academic studies about this in the past few months (the difference between J-pop and K-pop), and the best description I have for how the Japanese view K-pop is as follows:
"J-pop has been one of the major music labels in Asia since the late 1980s.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Tokyo-based FM radio station J-Wave
first began to use the term to differentiate new Japanese music from enka
(traditional ballads) (G. Lee 2016). J-pop encompasses almost all genres
of Western-influenced Japanese popular music. At first, J-pop was limited
to Euro-beat, however, the label was later “applied to many other kinds of
popular music in the Japanese music chart, Oricon, including idol-pop,
rhythm and blues (R&B), folk, soft rock—but exclud[ing] enka—easy
listening and sometimes even hip hop” (Ng 2004, 24). Besides its hybrid
artistic concepts, Japanese producers used the term J-pop to describe music
that was openly commercial and aimed at the masses (Chapuy 2011).
Contrary to this, the term K-pop was allegedly used in Japan when a
few Korean idol musicians, including H.O.T., were popular in China and
Japan. In order to differentiate J-pop from Korean music, Japan began to call
Korean popular music “K-pop” (G. Lee 2016), which was later “coined in
1998 to identify a new style of music” (Lie 2015, 96). K-pop is characterized
by a fast tempo, simple repetition of pattern, and emphasis on dance-
style music, such as reggae, rap, and hip-hop, developed from African-
American music, rather than focusing on melody and harmony. K-pop also
features a digital media-focused production system. Another major K-pop
characteristic is its systematic group dance performed by attractive young
musicians (S. Lee 2015)."
