Mr.Children, BUMP OF CHICKEN, Yuzu, SOUTHERN ALL-STARS, etc.
They're the kind of bands that appreciated by people of all ages because of their music, not because they have cute, underage girls.

Never had staying power? Although they're not as big now (or as good now, I don't even listen to their recent stuff, I'm not arguing they're popular now), during their "golden age" in the 1-4 generations of members they were almost always high on the charts. And who says everyone appreciates them just because they have cute girls? Although that obviously is true for many (and that applies to everything. Movies, Music whatever) not all, the music actually is enjoyable.
LOL, there's my "angry" ramble.....(It seems like I made a bad choice when I decided to put up a Morning Musume topic....)
