Read this passage: Recent J-pop trends highlight how Japanese youth culture blends domestic creativity with global platforms. Idol groups still matter, but many listeners now follow singer-songwriters and producer-led projects on TikTok and YouTube, where short clips can launch a song into mainstreamランキング. Artists such as YOASOBI and Ado show how digital-first releases, anime tie-ins, and distinctive vocal styles can build huge fan communities. Concerts (ライブ) remain important, yet online fan engagement—comments, remix culture, and choreography challenges—helps shape an artist's image in real time. For many students, sharing playlists becomes a form of self-expression, connecting taste to identity and friendships. Brands collaborate with musicians for limited merchandise (限定グッズ), and school festivals often feature cover performances, showing how J-pop circulates through everyday spaces. Overall, J-pop functions as both entertainment and a social language among youth. Based on the passage, what role does recent J-pop play in contemporary Japanese society?
