J-pop seems to be at war with K-pop. At least fans are at war with each other, any1 know why?
Probably has to do with the fact that the two countries have hated each other for a long time now.
Other than that I don't really see why there's such a large hatred between the fangirls.
Probably any competition between US/UK bands wouldn't be as vile. Of course not, so why here.

I actually haven't listened to much J-Pop. But I'm really open to it, I really like kpop anway.
Seems to me that J-pop is actually melodically, more western than K-pop.
As I could be mistaken, someone correct me on that if I'm wrong.
So yeah, I don't think I've even listened to enough music to make an informed opinion there.

For any of you big j-pop fans out there, can you recommend me any really good songs?
Also, J-Rock as well? Is there such a think as J-hop? J-rap? I dunno. It seems plausible.
Good to see that there's a J-pop thread, though I thought it would've been more popular.
Guys probably prefer k-pop anyway, well, because we're on a SC site after all.
You have to think though, if Japan was the #1 SC country, would be be listening to j-pop instead?
