I was just wondering how many people listen to japanese music, I would imagine it wouldnt be that much though :P, so do you listen to japanese music, and if so what kind?
A lot. Mostly J-pop. Been a fan since I started listening to Utada Hikaru in 2004, thanks to Kingdom Hearts. Aside from Hikki my favorites include Hamasaki Ayumi, Dream/E-Girls, Fairies, I've Sound (some specific artists under or formerly under them like MELL, KOTOKO, Kawada Mami... they do mostly anime OSTs), Kyarypamyupamyu, Morning Musume, Perfume, Sowelu... The rest of my list is here. I haven't gotten around to changing/adding my favorite j-rock artists yet. My favorites are dir en grey, The GazettE and MALICE MIZER though.
EDIT: I'm getting into some of those artists/idols on the list so like I may not know a lot about them yet but I like their sound. Some of them have quit their music careers/on hiatus or just disbanded like MALICE MIZER.
Not so much anymore though (some of those bands are so terrible I don't want to link their music), and I'm way out of the loop on what people listen to nowadays.
If you're referring to J-Pop, then no. But last time I checked "Japanese" wasn't a genre. Even if it is, it seems awful broad. Even though I've never liked a song by a Japanese artist, I can't judge a song based on an ethnicity.
I often listen to the opening and ending songs of anime I've watched.

Yes. Boris, Corrupted, Merzbow, Boredoms, Nobuo Uematsu, Kashiwa Daisuke, Envy, Mono, Melt Banana, Sigh, 不失者, Ground Zero, World's End Girlfriend, etc. So basically a lot of post-rock and noisy stuff.
Nujabes, DJ Okawari. A bit of Shing02.

And the only good K-Pop to me is Gangnam Style.
Click if you can
LoL! Gangnam Style! I don't know why everyone loved it?
I listen to it so much that I dont know any English songs that are popular right now.
