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!]]> 2022-03-18 16:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102186117 jessicaflye https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102188638 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.]]> 2022-03-18 16:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102188638 jessicaflye https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102195163 2022-03-18 16:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102195163 jessicaflye https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102196969 2022-03-18 16:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102196969 jessicaflye https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102200931 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”.]]> 2022-03-18 16:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102200931 jessicaflye https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102207839 2022-03-18 16:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102207839 jessicaflye https://padlet.com/jessicaflye/hv2c927oalaei8sy/wish/2102212066 Vocaloid artists are quite popular in J-Pop, especially Hatsune Miku.
