Why did J-pop die?
Why did J-pop die?

Japan's economy hit a peak in 80s. Now it's facing a slow boom + social problems like decline in population and general unhappiness because of the work culture and everything else surrounding it.
Westies boast about Japan but Japan has some major issues. Their economy has in a bubble and is facing the aftermath of a heavily capitalist society.

Big Angel is my favourite J-Pop band haha
Isaiah Jenkins
they got BTFO by Korea because they refused to market globally
Henry Jenkins
Because they don't act like Blacks. Their pop was always uniquely theirs and a little eccentric by outsider standards. Their rock is more derivative, but it's great. More than great. It's the only rock worth a shit anymore.
Christian Kelly
weeaboos are retards because they think they can judge a country's living conditions by fucking hentai porn quality. japan is like a gigantic amusement park, it would be great to visit but dogshit to live and work there

>Their rock is more derivative

Lincoln Adams
It's literally Cardigans but with heavier guitars i.e. late Cardigans
Lincoln Torres
Because Japan didn't want Jews controlling their media but Korea is ok with it

I wouldn't even know how to help. The biggest girl group in jpop is/was akb48, but it's a perfect example of when i say even their pop is eccentric. Kpop is heavily western and hip hop and dance influenced... and cool rather than cute.

They got caught in a rut making idolshit waiting for America to do something different, but the US music industry fucking died. What were they supposed to do next? They can't compete in making soulless bullcrap with the Koreans who actually have no souls.

>retarded old boomers clinging to CEO-posts refusing to change the formula that worked in the 80s and 90s and kinda worked in the early 00s
>strictly focused on the domestic market, which ended up biting them in the ass when KPOP blew up and young people prefered it over JPOP
>Korean agencies stealing most of the high tier Japanese trainees
>fanservice lacking compared to KPop (except for the whole gravure stuff) to a degree where it's almost insulting to the fanbase sometimes
Charles Russell
What fan service is in kpop? Thought they were more strict? Would they even have a video like above? I just see kpop girls showing midriffs.
Justin Thompson
There is more to fanservice than sex-appeal. Kpop-groups are constantly doing live-streams, fan-meets, weekly TV-appearances, all that jazz.
Ryder Wood
ah ok. i've seen some of those. kek
