The true tea has been spilled I have nothing more to add.

I like K-pop better most of the time because it's catchier and hits harder, I have to be in a certain mood for J-pop, other than Utada who is just immaculate 100% of the time.

But I agree that most K-pop sounds the same. I wish there was more variety.

Ayu is gaining ATRL superstar status with this GIF

Also, IMO the Japanese language is much more pleasant on the ears than the Korean language is.

& I've said this a thousand times over but I'll say it again: 99.9% of Korean ballads are absolutely horrid

The still have the link/cover to 2NE1's album on iTunes, but still no album. This is pure torture.

The link for the album was broke

Anyone that already downloaded the album, plz pm me the link

Are you kidding me? K-Pop is known worldwide for a lot of artists. Japan only has Ayumi, Utada, Namie & Koda. Japan is known for the rock, not the pop, sorry

No.

Oh, so X-Japan did all that revolution for nothing?

Whick K-Pop artists have a big worldwide following exactly?
K-Pop just recently started getting popular outside of Korea.

None of the current K-Pop acts besides maybe BoA have the huge worldwide followings of Ayu, Utada, etc.

Lukitoo, you and your broken english aren't making any sense

BYE

Babe, I won't low down to your level
Just saying that if u ask someone about Korean music, they will remember the pop artists (SNSD, BoA, Wonder Girls...)
If u ask about Japanese music, they will remember rock, pop, or ballads....

Yea ... u still aren't making any sense boo. U tried though

I'm not sure J/K-Pop is known in Europe period. Not even Utada, although she was huge .
And what if Meisus tried to go American and was actually successful? Egg in Japan's face.

If Japan has the second largest music market then where is Korea?

K-pop is like one genre and that is it, they are largely influenced by the american music industry. J-pop has much more variety and includes multiple genres. You can always find an artist from japan which will fit your taste.

Thought I'd share my view on this

For Albums - Platinum
Japan - 250,000
Korea - 10,000

.....

I have no idea but the highest selling album in Korea so far this year is at 100k ... I don't even think Korea is in the top 10

100k? Just.....
I didn't either. I was guessing Top 30?

ok babe, I'm just here for the music tho
