Korean pop music is more fashionable. Japanese pop music pays more attention to Japanese characteristics!
Japanese pop music:
East-west cultural collision
There is a specious western music in Japanese pop, which is the result of years of interaction between two contrasting cultures. Although japanese pop people have borrowed a lot from American pop music, they can calmly recreate it in their own way.
Although many Japanese pop music and American music are in the same strain, Japanese music creation is permeated with national uniqueness. In addition to the perceived nationality, Japanese pop music is also the product of cultural interaction between the two countries, and it is this interaction that produces the unique comprehensiveness of Japanese pop music. Because the animation industry in Japan is very developed, most of us know about Japanese pop music through Japanese animation. So when we hear the Japanese popular melody, we can't help but think of anime. When we see anime, it's like hearing Japanese pop.
Korean music:
I think Korean music also has the characteristics of expressing rich feelings. Korean music often shows direct emotional expression different from that of japanese pop. I think it's just like the direct and pure use of music in Italian movies before. Korean music has a strong and deep impression on sound.
Like Japan, the style of Korean music is gradually moving closer to European and American styles, but unlike Japan, most Korean music has no Korean musical taste.
Whether it is sad or romantic, it is written around love. Now there are few Korean lyrics without the word love!
While Korean dramas swept through China, they also implanted a sense of Korean music into our brains. Whenever those sad, romantic and sweet notes in Korean music ring in our ears, we can't help but think of the romantic and beautiful scenes in Korean dramas. Let us have an endless aftertaste!
Korean songs in the 1990s were mostly sentimental songs, and now most Korean lyric songs are combined with rap. Although one is fast and the other is slow, they complement each other and add up just right.
Personally, fast songs have a strong sense of rhythm, coupled with dynamic dance, giving people the feeling that they are not noisy but exciting and pleasing to the eye. It feels exciting! !
Most slow songs give people a sad feeling. But it doesn't sound so depressing, and it feels comfortable.
I think: an album has many styles. Romantic, sentimental, delicate and diverse should be the characteristics of Korean songs.
In a word, the styles of Japanese pop music and Korean music are quite different.
Other people's views:
Korean music is more commercialized, and they are better at visually gorgeous packaging.
I feel that they are a little European and American, and now they have no taste in Korean music.
It is quite obvious that Japan is popular and has formed its own style after years of tempering. There are various schools, and many excellent Japanese artists can create their own works.
It's just that what China likes to accept at present is Korean visual enjoyment. Most of us know about Japanese pop music through Japanese anime.
Complementarity of Japanese and Korean Music Types
Although Japan and Korea are strikingly similar in culture, their music is essentially different, and each has its own characteristics, so you can tell which is Japanese and which is Korean. No matter what style of japanese pop is, there is a kind of "vitality" in it, and the most typical one is the theme song of "Hot Blood" in Japanese anime. Even though these songs express a very sad theme, there is a positive, inspirational and unyielding temperament behind them, which has been carried forward by the Japanese nation and is unique and has been integrated into all fields of its culture. In recent years, Korean music has found its own characteristics, that is, pure and simple warmth. No matter their movies, TV plays or love songs, although they all describe love with minor love songs, they all bring the warmth of human nature to the extreme and create many modern love fairy tales. However, this kind of pure emotional expression is lacking in today's Japanese society.
