I've actually discussed this before!
Kpop in compared to Jpop, is waaaay more accessible to the west. Rarely are they full music videos to japanese pop online. you have to pay for them to see the whole thing. kpop on the other hand has open themselves completely to western sites like youtube, anyone can watch them as long as they can access youtube. Japanese content is much harder to obtain. hell, anime openings always get flagged and taken down. its an untapped market imo jpop has so much potential in the west.


i'd like to share a japanese pop song i like while im here tho! i hope you enjoy it ^^

Because the Glorious Leader has great agents and managers for their talented artists?

...and because Psy is still putting out albums?

Kpop is more popular because they over sexualize the hell out of the girls/guys. In the west, looking like a hoe is what makes you famous. That's why Taylor Swift now looks like a hoe because back then she wasn't making any money, now that she likes to show off her washboard chest and flat ass, she instantly becomes a platinum artist.

More Ikemen and their dance moves which make most girls swoon. Jpop isn't that good(there are good ones but I've seen jpop worse than those from the US lol) Jrock doesn't have handsome guys dancing and stuff.

Idol groups in Japan do the same thing.

AKB is relatively popular, but most Japanese idol groups are nowhere near as popular as Korean idols.

Reason being that the Korean entertainment industry has more money, hence there is more effort/staff put into training. Furthermore, there is more effort from the Korean entertainment industry to expand worldwide. Kpop groups and singers are groomed to perform in other countries which expands the popularity of their groups.

If Japanese entertainment industry believes it will be profitable to go overseas, I'm sure they will eventually. However larger popularity in the West can be expensive, since it requires a lot of promotion, teaching English, and a lot of legal work.

Uhmm, Japan has one of the Largest Music Entertainment Publishers in the world on their own home turf, and that is Sony. I simply can't believe that Korea's entertainment industry has more money especially since Japan is still second behind China when it comes to entertainment overall. So in my conclusion, its because Kpop artists are hoes. Also, Jpop idols lean towards the "moe" and "innocent" look, while in Korea, they pick the girls that makes your dick the hardest faster.

It's more about willingness to invest money and promote than having the money itself like I said in my original post.

For Sony it wouldn't be profitable to promote these artists. In Korean entertainment industry, these companies don't have that large backing. They basically don't have a choice other than to take the chance and try to make it big in China, Philippines, etc. If Sony or other big Japanese organizations wanted to, they could have the commercial success of K-pop. They probably just don't see it as profitable in the long term as their current model.

I'm not saying the money isn't there. There is just less money being allocated for advertising and promoting overseas.

Basically despite J-Pop and J-Rock seeming to be quite popular with the Anime community, K-Pop appeals more to a larger audience due to the accessibility, production, music videos, choreography, and the appearance of the members. K-Pop has many talented individuals but in all honesty it lacks originality, it focuses too much on the looks of the members and choreography over the actual compositions of the songs which is pretty much American mainstream music just sang by a bunch of good looking Koreans (they do have better pipes than majority of American mainstream artists and Japanese artists tho), I do understand that the genre does have a few gems tho but sadly it just seems way too overly produced. It is nice to see that it has quite a passionate fan base but I don't see it contributing anything to music.

His argument was that Kpop makes more money and more popular than Jpop because Kpop is overall more profitable, while my argument stems from the fact that because they look like hos, they are more profitable especially in western nations. Getz it?

That proves that he thinks Kpop is more profitable though, not the "because". I do agree that it's because they're hoes, but I don't think the fact that more money goes into it proves that alone. It's like me saying blue cups are more expensive than red ones because there's more money going into it, and then some goes CHECK FUCKING MATE, I KNEW YOU KNEW BLUE CUPS WERE HOES AND THAT'S THE SECRET TO THEIR SUCCESS.

That's a bad comparison because there's no trend that leads to Blue Cups being more expensive than red cups, other than the fact that Blue Cups are manufactured less than red cups. While in the music industry, there are plenty of trends that being a ho leads to you making more money and success. That bitch who said "Cash me outside" she 14, is a ho, and is already making millions. Taylor Swift became a platinum artists when she transitioned to become a ho, pretty much you won't see prim and proper women getting extremely successful without them being hos in the music industry.

The blue cups were supposed to be a hoe in an alternate reality, but nevermind.
As I said, I do agree it's because they're hoes. In the comments of a lot of videos you see people trying to sexualise everything they do, so it would make sense to me at least that people like it because it's more westernized and sexual.

But that wasn't my point, I was talking about how randomly the case was closed lol. Him agreeing that Kpop gets more funding than Jpop doesn't mean he thinks it's because they're sexualized.

I said case was closed because the reason Kpop gets more funding is because they're more profitable because they're oversexualized. If you look at it in a business sense, you would understand more. Businesses look at trends to what becomes profitable in the long run. With my comment saying that "Jpop is usually more moe and innocent" that won't make any money in the west. Why people are pouring money into Kpop is because they align more into western ideologies of hos.

I didn't say Case closed because I wanted to make him think that Kpop are being hos, I made the case closed because if you were to understand the trends and how business works, you would get to the conclusion yourself.

That logic only works if you provide proof. The guy(or gal) who said it was because Japan doesn't make their entertainment as easily accessible could be just as correct as you assume you are because it does make just as much sense. Or maybe it's because anime and gaming does so well in the west that they decide to put more money into that rather than even trying to invest in jpop. Maybe Sony just doesn't like Jpop. Who knows? Without anything backing the points, anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's, so I think it's weird to dismiss him because you think he should accept your conclusion.

I don't have definitive proof, but its pretty obvious what the conclusion is. But lets just say that Its not so obvious. Just looking at the west, name me 5 female artists that are on the same level of relevancy as swift that isn't a ho, has to be modern, and not over sexualized. Even if we say no Publisher in Japan decides to invest money on JPop idols overseas, if being a ho wasn't that big of the factor of being successful, we should be easily able to name hundreds of artists that are on the same level as swift an not a ho. But it's not, the deciding factor of being successful in the west is you being an edgy ho. Otherwise "cash me outside" girl won't have a networth of a million dollars. OR the Kardashians wouldn't get famous from thaving a sex tape with a black guy.

Sure, I'll play Devil's advocate with you. First, you need to name Kpop stars on the level as a Rihanna that is as sexual as her. It's not the same demographic completely. I feel as though they're sexualised, but not to the extent that our media is. Being sort of innocent is a part of the appeal to their Westen fanbase too. Sure, they'll do a crotch grab to be risky, but they're not out here showing their ballsacks or tits to live on the edge. A lot of Kpop fans get offended by them having girlfriends or boyfriends, I don't think it's completely comparable in the least to that extent.

Western Entertainment isn't showing their nuts out in public as well, but its obvious that Kpop has adapted to be more western than Jpop. That adaptation lead them to be hos.

That was an exaggeration, who made you like this.
So you're telling me you didn't clutch your invisible pearls when you heard RM's "Expensive Girl"(assuming you have)? The fact that people are so surprised when they hear truly sexual stuff from Kpop says that they can't be all that adapted to our whore-ism. I'm sure some Japanese pop stars do crotch grabs and shirt rips. I suppose the question is, "do they grab their crotches as much as Koreans?". Who even calculates things like that though? Jpop isn't even popular on a global scale, so I doubt most people have watched enough of the content to come to a conclusion.

I'm completely lost now cause I don't watch KPop. Also, I don't know where your leading me, but if its about guy KPop groups, I couldn't care less what they do. They could whip their dicks out and start stroking. I just know that female KPop groups are hos, especially from the shit I watch on Youtube.

the japanese are extremely bad about distributing and promoting their country’s music on an international scale, and extremely restrictive about what they upload to YouTube and other sites in terms of content in order to “boost” physical sales, it’s a less than gracious outdated business model that needs to die tbh. kpop has much more exposure because post hallyu wave, companies realize that they can make quite a bit of money off international fans and thus don’t only focus on a domestic market.

i enjoy both, but the japanese have a shit business model.

Bruh, the case dismissed wasn't meant to be "Oh I'm right, you're wrong, now fuck off" I said it because when he said "It's more about willingness to invest money and promote than having the money itself like I said in my original post" if you look at it in a business sense, there's factors into why a business would invest. If they can't see the potential money in something, they won't invest. So when I said, "My original point was that they're hos" I'm insinuating that the reason why businesses won't invest more in JPop is because they're not hos.

It's probably popular because of the guys in BTS and whatnot. I tried getting into KPOP but it just wasn't for me. It's too weak, really weird, and I personally can't help but see it as trash - comparable to Rebecca Black's Friday. But, to each their own. Also, I don't know if the word "gay" could be used as an insult, but that's one word that I'd describe KPOP with.

Btw, Japanese visual kei artists pull off the meterosexual thing better than KPOP groups such as BTS.

For myself, I like Kpop more than Jpop because I can really get to know the members of Kpop groups way better than those in Jpop groups.

I love BTS and a few of other groups but I also love jrock.
not a fan of jpop unless it's a vocaloid song.

i think kpop is more accessible since they're less strict with the copyright thing on youtube (so people can freely react to the mvs and get more western fans)
also jpop and jrock is not as promoted as widely as kpop, i dont see that many news about concerts and tours worldwide from japan.
of course kpop industry is also a huge thing and there are new idols churning out yearly. i do find many of the songs repetitive (which is why i mostly pick groups to stan)

also, kpop idols attend a lot of variety shows which are really fun to watch and it makes fans feel closer to the idols.

I guess all male in japan must be fags. It makes sense since since their birth rate has been only 1.26 children per woman since like 2014ish.

Because K-pop has always been developing further in all areas, music,visual,concepts. Whereas, Jpop/Jrock hasnt really progressed much or brought much variety.

K-Pop talent labes usually upload a lots of short MVs and do not even upload full MVs at all, whose K-Pop has full MVs and is easliy accessbile.

But there is still change in near future:

Pop requires an infectious rhythm to catch on. J-pop vocalists have this tendency to drone on in a jarring yawp while K-pop's smooth syllable transitions make it easy to listen to.

Yeah, i also notice how K-Pop have an western influenctal out there, so i am thinking how K-Pop is better than J-Pop, it makes me wonder how K-Pop managed to copy western sounds.

Also, there has to be an possible way to J-Pop artists to do tour internationally, here are some of the video from Popsori:




I am hoping Japan will try and use the same strategy for Korean doing better at promoting their J-Pop internationally.

Making them accessible to the public, not to mention the support from their government. It's probably no wonder how they got big in such a relatively short span of time.

Japan probably just doesn't bother too much on promoting their music abroad if their domestic market is big by itself. Their industry is just second behind the US and they could do more if they learn from Korea, because it's obviously working for them.

"Get back to the biker bar."

Internationally and historically speaking, I think there are some other parts of the puzzle to piece together too.

I've brought on bad vibes before, but I'm not going to mince words that the US and Japan don't exactly have the best relations; after all, WWII saw Japan attack the US, and despite me liking international understanding and peace, this doesn't include the uphill war anime needed to make for mainstream exposure and how Asian America in general had to fight against whitey in the 1990s.

Korea on the other hand has always been the US's precious little buddy who is always picked on by its neighbors, and especially Japan. Granted, there are some darker things about this relation, like the Unification Church Mafia Cult and how it controls the Washington Times, but Korea holds rather less of a stigma from the US because them being grateful for the States being there for WWII and the Korean War. North Korean expats also includes children who are majorly adopted into the States, and how the nation is a wide majority Christian, like the US, so there's that.

While I'll be happy to graze my ears on music from the nation, I'm not going to lie that my tastes lie more in Japan and older rock from the West among others. Korean movies though, I'm always a big fan of.

Yeah, i feel this the same way. Japan needs to have an typcial role-model to that of Korea, by putting more songs on Itunes and Spotify (regional blocked can be often occurs to this as well). And Music Labels stop putting regional blocked on YT that much.

There are some fans that like J-Pop, or like both K-Pop & J-Pop, after all.
