J-Pop was established in the early 1970s in Japan. It is heavily influenced by 60s music (Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc...). J-Pop is mainly popular music in Japan. It’s the equivalent of our everyday pop music in the US, except in Japanese!

Internationally, K-Pop is far more popular than J-Pop. In Japan, they tend to keep their culture and interests in their nation, while South Korea focuses on sharing their music and entertainment.
Starting in 2011, K-Pop even surpassed J-Pop in popularity in Japan. Popular groups like Big Bang, NCT, Exo, BTS, Girls’ Generation, and more started making Japanese songs to extend their influence into Japan.

ZUTOMAYO is a group with a female vocalist. They’re a band who focuses their music around Jazzy or Rock-resembling J-Pop.
They shroud themselves in mystery, never revealing their faces, and instead hiding behind a digital character with purple hair and big eyes. My personal favorite song by them is “MILABO”.
