Then let's analyze, anyone who is serious about Japanese music knows that the best thing about Japanese music is their arrangements and compositions. I'm an instrumentalist, and strictly speaking, I'm very envious of Japanese music's arrangements, which contain the sounds of many instruments in a single song, but not too many. Then let's talk about Korean music, the first impression of Korean music must be K-Pop, yes, it's actually Korean hip-pop, of course, not all Korean songs are hip-pop, like bigbang's "if you" is a good example. Let's explain some of the differences between the two countries' music. To put it bluntly, Japanese music is known for its melody, while Korean music is known for its rhythm. But the problem is, when it comes to rhythm, the most rhythmic people in the world are the blacks, there's no disagreement about that, but when it comes to melody, I can say out loud that the Japanese are the most melodic race in the world.
Now, let's talk about the musicians. Those who have played popular instruments for a long time know that Japanese guitarists are the most masterful in the world except for the United States, but now even Americans say that the Japanese have surpassed the U.S. level in the application of the guitar, which is something that those who haven't played the instrument may not be very aware of, so I won't explain it here. And Korea, I'm sorry, the musicians who can stand in the whole world is not heard much, this point is like China. Awkward. Note that I said popular instruments! Not Western or classical instruments.
Finally, I'd like to say that the entire world of pop music originated in Europe and America, in other words, Europe and America created the roots of pop music, but Japan took those roots and fused them together to make the kind of music that only Japanese people can make. It's still the same thing: "Japanese music is Japanese, Korean and Chinese music are imitations of European and American."
