I stumbled on this article on The Japan News, the online English news website from the Yomiuri Shinbun about the 400th episode of J-Melo.

LOOKING EAST / ‘J-Melo’: Helpful expert for overseas J-pop fans

The article prominently features Morning Musume, basically they use the group as the example of J-Pop going international via this show.

Good exposure!

The tail thinks it's wagging the dog. Considering that we overseas fans have been around for ages, it would be more accurate for them to say that J-MELO's international success was due to Morning Musume!
