Anybody remember when Pink Lady had a weekly variety show on U.S. teevee? I think it was a summer replacement thing, mid-70s. That shit was wierd.

Yeah... but who doesn't?
Ever try staying a week in Tokyo or Yokohama without having your head explode from all the hot chicks walking around like the end of the world is not near? Damn near impossible!

it should be noted that I really don't like about 99% of j-pop though, it gives me the rabies. but I've been listening to Adult 2-5 times a week since it came out in January.

I'm looking for something that's really poppy and dancey though. I want like a japanese girls aloud.

I'm not really feeling j-pop 2006 yet, it doesn't feel like anything very exciting has happened, musically at least (the current number one selling like 750,000 copies in its first week is more uhm culturally interesting?). Otsuka Ai has a new single out, which is supercute (music video on youtube here), but LOVE COOK was a bit of a disappointment, so I'm not expecting too much. Morning Musume's last single was good, if a bit typical.
The j-pop i'm listening to most at the moment is straightforward pop-rock and eighties chartpop, though, not post-shibuyakei stuff. Also m-flo, who are a.ma.zing, but more r'n'b/hiphop than j-pop. 2004's 'astromantic' is the album to go for with them.

Yukihiro Takahashi - Blue Moon Blue
http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=TOCT-25939
If you listen to the samples, you'll see it's in a similar vein as the Takahashi/Hosono Sketch Show collaborations, though bordering slightly more on the pop than electronic side.
Tomita Lab - Shiplaunching
http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AICL-1731
Jazzy pop with lots of guest vocalists (including Takahashi on one track).
Buffalo Daughter - Euphorica
Can't find samples for this...but they're one of the more well-known j-pop bands I suppose.

The great thing about 'joy' is that I expect the usual gentle sweetness, but the first song is so startlingly synthpop (crypto-rave, even!) --http://s54.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=153YM54R40SLM0PQ01UOPX10PR

spotify hasn't been in japan very long and is missing many label deals there. digital music also just never quite caught on in japan in the way it did elsewhere etc
