The director of Avex Entertainment believes that if an artist like BTS was born in Japan, J-POP can conquer overseas markets

This is definitely possible, but not with the outdated styles and sounds many of their Jpop groups have going on. Plus in general, Jpop has their own unique sound too. Which fits the Jpop market and people interested, but don't transfer as easy internationally. Part of Kpop success is it borrow from the West and other [current] popular trends around the world to create a colorful mashup.

that's what I like about jpop the outdated styles and sounds and I wish it's remain that way

well first they would need to get with the times and actually make their music accessible internationally instead of just domestically. Before 2010 I was able to listen to various Japanese artists on Youtube but then after Japan started tightening restrictions it's gotten inaccessible. A vast majority of the Japanese music industry is still region-locked and you can't view many artists' music videos unless you live in Japan or a country that isn't blocked by Japan's restrictions. There are a lot of artists where you have to know Japanese in order to comb through Japanese music sites to find their music. There are Japanese music lyric sites that don't even allow you to copy the lyrics in order to paste them into Google translate to find out the meaning of the lyrics. Arashi is Johnny's Entertainment's most successful and most popular group and yet they weren't allowed to have social media accounts until sometime last year. 

I don't care about competing in International market I like jpop the way it is.

but yeah what I dislike the most about Japanese music and entertainment in general is the unbelievable amount of restrictions they have a lot of stuff is just Japan exclusive like bruh do you not want my money? I mean forget youtube it's so hard to even financially support your Japanese faves

many Japanese idol groups have been stuck in a rut musically speaking, in my honest opinion, and are behind on music trends and sounds. 

that's subjective and trends are just new fast food material, like we have kpop already if jpop copies kpop then there's no need for me to follow jpop anymore, I prefer diversity in the music industry.

jpop shouldn't change its sound just make shit more accessible for International fans.

To me it seems like this director is blaming the industry for not having great artists like bts when actually that's not true at all, there's actually a lot of talented artists which have potential to be globally known- The actual truth is the problems lies with executives and directors like him, boomers that don't know how to promote and using the old and outdated approach

The audacity for pinpointing flaws of others but not realizing that he and the higher ups like him are the real flaws

they are just oblivious to the truth and just so selfish, like you have no idea how much shit requires Japanese phone number like why?? you can barely support Japanese artists you either have to live in Japan to get access to exclusives or be happy with the little stuff you could have access to, sometimes they even reject or ignore subtitles made by International fans..
