What's with all the European animation companies (Marathon in particular; looking at YOU) trying so hard to pay homage to the ..."anime style"?
Well here's a J-music related one. I really, really get pissed off when people think a non-Japanese origin song being covered by a J-singer is the original. (I know this can be said for any music in general or how people mistake them for "rip-offs" when it's obvious they would get sued if they were)
I recall Chieko Kawabe covering Hilary Duff's song for her old Lizzie Mcguire TV show for the Japanese dub. I just facepalmed looking at a lot of the commentors thinking it's was made by Kawabe herself and that Duff "stole it and possibly other J-pop songs" because she apparently sang it better. (I admit, she did sing it better but wtf?; and not a Duff fan but still)
