We can see from the graph that in around may of , K-Pop overtook J-Pop and has stayed that way ever since. J-Pop on the other hand had been steadily declining for around 2 years before this date, adding to the clear and decisive win by Korea.
If I delve a little deeper and compare the two genres of pop music by sub region in Japan you can see just how widespread K-Pops popularity is in comparison. Looking at the graph above we can see that K-Pop overtook J-Pop in terms of popularity around the world at roughly the same time as Japan. The map above shows how much more popular K-Pop is around the world.
K-Pop being red and J-Pop being blue. One of the biggest reasons that J-Pop is nowhere near as popular as K-Pop is because the Japanese music industry as a whole has very little to no international investment.
Japanese pop was once extremely popular. But then I realized that a lot of the songs I enjoyed listening to were for their dramas as in I was more into their acting careers than their music. My first Kpop group on the other hand [possibly easy to guess too Japanese Guys and Korean Guys are Hott! And Idk I guess it's because the music resembles stuff that people produce over in the states. So naturally I'm just more attracted to it Padel 1decennia ago , jpops.
The success of the Korean Wave, I guess influenced the favourities towards Kpop. MatsuCarol 6yr ago jpops. NichkhunLover0x 1decennia ago 12, jpops. Because the beat and everything is just cool! Love the way the Mv is and the sound of the songs. OnlyFaith 1decennia ago jpops. You know I honestly feel like Kpop artist have more flavor than the japanese.. Thats just my opinion. But I still like Jpop because japanese is my mother tongue.
I love the language, the singers, the dances, the melody But jpop, I rarely listen to jpop. The only artist I love in jpop is Utada Hikaru. Go kpop! Go jpop! Tuni 1decennia ago 82 jpops. If there is no K pop, and J pop hasn't changed, what'll we do :RBconfused: Either way, Japanese songs I like are upbeat ones from animes. That's about it. I gave up on NewS after I listened to their song where they were singing about blood types.
Tru fax. I love GTO then. Then watch all videos above for proof! Kpop is so much better than jpop and there is an unending list of reasons why i can support this true claim. First of all, people always ask, why is Kpop so popular and not Jpop? That's obvious. Since Kpop groups and their companies work extremely hard to promote their songs and groups; they go on numerous TV shows, games, and much more. Also, most kpop idols have such a strong social media presence. They try to update their accounts as much as possible when they have time, while jpop idols rarely do.
Kpop fanbase is x stronger and more supportive. Gee, I wonder why kpop is so much more popular than jpop? Kpop fans are loyal and true to their biases or favorite groups; they sometimes even go crazy which is not exactly a good thing lol for their "loves. Well I haven't. Kpop fans love kpop so much they aren't afraid or worried to show their respect and love. This could go on forever but I have to do my homework so. Honestly, I hate comparing the two. I think that if I were to compare the two, I would come to a stalemate.
I love both! I respect the uniqueness and individuality of jpop while I also really like kpop. Which, frankly, I just enjoy it more! But really, it's all a matter of perspective. There is no 'better' one as everyone's view will always be different. Some people consider kpop idols fake whatever. But they don't realise the effort put into it. To be a kpop artist, unlike so many other countries, you have to train hard for many, many years. Training can last up to years.
Some can't handle the pressure and leave, but some stay. The people that do, become idols. This proves that they are hard-working, and willing to train and train to become what they want. In kpop, you have talent There is Singing Dancing to complicated choreography Rapping Playing multiple instruments Speaking multiple languages - For example a singer named Boa can speak Korean, Japanese and English and has recorded songs in Mandarin.
Kpop singers also go on music programs, reality shows, talk shows, and much much more to promote their songs. Singers are themselves when they go on reality shows. Some don't even care about the 'image' while playing games on programs such as Running Man! They also try to show different sides of themselves.
Kpop artists are also actually smart. Many people think that they are just people who train and don't know anything, but singers all go to school and graduate even while they are training. They don't get much sleep, for example staying up for 3 days to make one music video. People also say they are fake because of plastic surgery. They are NOT fake, it is true some actually do have plastic surgery, but it is not actually that uncommon in Korea. To those who call kpop singers fake, I have one question, are you Korean?
Do you know all the history, the language, and actually kpop itself? People simply don't understand the amount of effort that has gone into being a KPOP singer. This is not to say that JPOP isn't. But kpop is just simply All koreans and kpops are half human and half science!!! If you get me That's the plastic surgeries to make them look beautiful even though they aren't And also they are copying and trying to be american people They are not proud of their selves and they Don't want their country!!!
That's all!!! One thing that attracts me is they like to be themselves in variety shows, in live game shows etc, they didn't act, they still talks and answers the emcee honestly with their styles and are loves to show their skills. In game shows like Running Man or Laws of the Jungle, they continued and play the games without even thinking about their image.
They played and have fun even they are showing their poor image like that. I don't seem to feel embarrassed for them, I feel really happy and funny when I watch their videos.
Fans love them more like this. I'm not saying Jpop idols are bad or not cool, I'm just attracted by Kpop Idol's personality. What are the most popular K-Pop and J-Pop singers, bands or groups in the world? According to a Western poll with more than , votes, we can present the following results:. As a fan of Japanese music, I have to say that I don't usually listen to any of the bands and singers on the list above. Despite knowing and liking some individual songs of some.
While , people voted for J-Pop bands, in the ranking below we have over 2 million votes. The answer is quite obvious, Korea is much smaller compared to Japan. This indicates that singers need to invest more in the foreign market than in the domestic one. Making the music more directed to foreigners. The Japanese market is very developed compared to the Korean market.
J-pop does not have a strong motivation to explore the foreign market, while Kpop necessarily needs it. Not to mention that K-Pop has American roots and makes it more sexually appealing, while J-Pop focuses on cuteness and Japanese culture.
If it weren't for the sex appeal, the dances and the singers' appearance, K-Pop might not be so popular. Japanese women have problems with their legs and height. Their legs tend not to be as straight and are not as tall as the Korean ones.
This makes Japanese women focus more on Kawaii things than sensuality, attracting the West less. While J-Pop is a little attached to the unique styles that mix instrumental, classic, original and more melancholic touches. Koreans have facial and structural features that allow more advantages when doing plastic surgery.
This makes them more industrial and homogeneous to attract the attention of fans. From its look, concept, stories and ideas, everything sounds strange to foreigners. When going abroad, K-Pop usually collaborates with local singers and artists, greatly increasing their fan base, while J-Pop usually goes abroad to participate in specific events related to Japan.
The Japanese entertainment industry is extremely rigid and crazy to remove videos, music, websites and anything related to content that was not authorized by them, making it difficult to expand and share.
