If you have an English-language blog or website devoted to Japanese music and you want it covered by International Wota, please e-mail Ray at ray@mescallado.com with the heading “International Wota Site Recommendation”. Please include the name of your blog / site and its URL.

We keep track of sites through RSS feed, which is common to blogs but not as common for other kinds of web sites. If you keep a site without an RSS feed, you can e-mail once in a while to let us know of any changes or updates.

Keep in mind, just because you recommend a site or blog to us doesn’t mean we’ll write it up. We want to share quality sites focused on Japanese music - so for example, personal blogs that have a passing interest in Jpop (i.e., “I went to school today and talked to my friends and someone showed me a Berryz album over lunch and then lunch was over and I played soccer after school”) will likely be passed up. If it’s difficult to read the site for design reasons or the writing is problematic in some manner (horrendous spelling, inflammatory opinions that aren’t reasonably defended, or too many factual errors), that will also be passed up.

Linking to International Wota

You are not required to link to International Wota if we write about your site, though we always appreciate it. Linking to us does not mean we’ll write about you, though again, we always appreciate it.
