Oops! Oh, God, you're right!
What I'd meant to type was:
Amateur = unpaid.
Professional = paid.
Can I blame 'cut and paste?'

Sorry about that; I'll go back & edit it so it reads right.

Not being a fan of J-pop, I guess I couldn't comiserate with that one. Also, I don't know what all that has to do with being a professional or not. A professional is merely someone who regularly makes money doing something.

that not J-pop Irminsul it's J-rock and Visual kei:P it's not lil girl dancing for the fan public...it's more like mmm a Hard rock,punk but ermm it's mixed with other kind of style...like one I love to do is Rock+jazz you can also do it with metal anyway it's not sweety J-popXD I dont know how to sing only how to scream anyway for return to the subject

Amateur Music vs Pro Music? so we are talking about what amator band can do vs pro music no? maybe I misunderstood:S

Sorry, it all sounds as bad. I'm just not a fan of Japanese rock or pop - although I do love the work of synthesist Isao Tomita.
