Because Japanese music industry doesn't give a shit about overseas. Koreans aim to sell overseas, while Japanese aim to sell domestically. Japan's music market is the second largest in the world after the U.S., so Japanese artists do not need to go out of their way to market their products overseas.

Early 2000s Jpop was booming, then they restricted all online media due to piracy... sure it's understandable BUT they did not provide options for foreign fans~ I remember someone posting how to buy an album from the company's Japanese website... no access to variety shows either that the idols go on to.... even the PVs are only accessible by buying DVD or 1 min versions posted on YT (if they post at all)~ If Jpop did not cocoon themsleves they would've had the same global chance as Kpop~

Exactly! There was so much potential in the Middle 2000s for Japanese Bands to sell their albums in the Western Market. Dir en grey, Gackt, The Gazette, Mucc and many others tried to sell their albums and concert DVDs in Western Shops. Hot Topic tried to get on board with the Japanese Rock / Visual Kei explosion happening in the USA. It was so much easier and cheaper to buy a Dir en grey CD in Hot Topic for $14, rather than to buy an import directly from Japan for $40. I also remember Hot Topic sold the "Shoxx" and "Cure" VK fasion magazines, as well as an English Printed magazine for VK & J-Rock fans, called "Purple Sky" -- this magazine was started by Brian "Boo" Stewart, someone who was well known for starting the website called "Centigrade-J" where they shared their English translations of Dir en grey's songs. 2006 to 2011 was the peak / apex of the Japanese Rock fandom in the USA. But because of not enough promotion, the boom died down... K-Pop moved in to fill the void, but for me, it is not the same! Metal & Rock is better than Pop! Where are the Korean Metal Bands? Does Korea have anything similar to Visual Kei? Where is the theatrics? Where is the edginess? There is nothing edgy or fun about a bunch of cute looking wanna-be Nsync type of bands.... that is what K-Pop sounds like to me. Boring "Backstreet Boy" type of music. I want the loud and angry music like Dir en grey and The Gazette! I want the pretty "Classical Inspired" music like Gackt and Malice Mizer! Not boring "Pop Music!" If I want "Pop" I will just listen to Utada Hikaru or Ayumi Hamasaki.... but I would prefer something more similar to a Japanese Nine Inch Nails or a Japanese Marilyn Manson. Pop Music just isn't edgy and angry enough! Boring! Like "Country Music" or "Christian Rock" lol.... Boring, boring, boring!

Japanese music aside from anime should also be known outside but the problem is some of entertainment companies doesn't want to share the music. There are some music that you cannot access because it's restricted. I kinda feel bad that the past conflict cannot be forgotten easily. Both countries for me had a good music taste and i hope that they can work collaborately but i don't think it will happen..

Defeat? That's not a word I'd use for music or entertainment. Nobody in Korea would think Kpop has defeated Jpop. We Koreans are surprised and thankful that Kpop became so popular globally. Defeating Jpop or other countries music was never been an agenda for the Kpop industry. Kpop exists to entertain people and make money from it. So I beg you to stop seeing things from a war/competition/conquering perspective.

It wouldn't have mattered since Japan only focused on their domestic market it never got to evolve and stayed stagnant just like Japan's economy. The quality of music, singing, performance etc is just lacking and still stuck in the 90's and early 2000's. If you don't change and evolve you will be left behind and die, that is what happened to JPOP. So it was basically inevitable no matter what they did.

I talked with some artists and they said they don’t have the control of the distribution of their music, and they wish their music would be played outside Japan. I wonder how much control the music labels in Japan have in the artist career.

K pop might be more popular but in terms of actual music even japanese pop songs/anime song writers know what music theory is and can play instruments, while the most popular artist in the world the "western and kpop" literally take the musical talent part out and throw it in the trash then proceeds to replace it with a lot of autotune and pre recorded loops of drums etc., japanese singers do use autotune like myth and roid and fear n loathing but they can still sing live, while the us and kpop either go full autotune or just lipsynching cause they are on stage for the eye candy anyways not their talent.

Along with the overall availability, I think K-pop is MUCH more similar stylistically and genre wise to American pop. Therefore, in a world where US pop is the most popular music in the world, music that is stylistically similar will naturally be more accessible to most people. I think that this is a huge factor as well.

I don't even listen to K-pop or J-pop, I am here strictly for the dialogue between Ken & Meshida!

when it comes music I personally like Japanese rock and metal been listening to bands like Crossfaith (Japanese Metalcore band) and maximum the hormone and as for Korean music I've basically been listening to the guy who pioneered it all... Seotaiji for a bit of context Jeong Hyeon-cheol, better known as Seo Taiji or Seo Tae-ji (서태지), is a South Korean singer, musician, songwriter and record producer. After dropping out of high school to pursue a music career, he rose to become one of the most prominent and influential cultural icons in South Korea, with many referring to him as "the President of Culture". Following a brief stint in the heavy metal band Sinawe, Taiji formed Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992 with whom he found immediate success. Their style of music, dance, fashion, and self-presentation resonated with the young generation-termed the sinsedae, "new generation." They incorporated elements of popular musical genres from the West and contributed considerably larger to Korean pop culture and Korean pop's development in the 1990s. His songs addressed social and political concerns of the youth including the stressful and stifling system of education in Korea, and the rage of youth in the face of poor social and economic outlook. Widespread youth backlash to government suppression of the social commentary in his music became a catalyst for the abolishment of censorship of Korean popular music lyrics. His career paved the way for free expression in Korean pop music. Although he initially announced retirement upon disbanding the group in 1996, Taiji released his first solo album two years later and continued his successful career.

Hehehe PPOP is also emerging and is fighting head on SB19 is now very popular although they were trained in Korea, they still embraced to sing more Filipino songs!

Jpop idols are legendary.. my first love song was Hikaru Utada "first Love"... ahh and also Speed "white love"...

Pop industries have always been the strategic assets of soft power projections. Japan did promote their idols like Kyon Kyon, Akina, Checkers and Anzenchitai in foreign markets in the 80's. The idea was to inculcate and associate the feel good factors of Pop to Japanese brands among the teenagers. That way, the kids tended to think favourably of the Japanese brands when they grew up and were making the purchasing decisions. By the end of the 90's, most Japanese brands were already well established and maybe that's why the large corporations no longer see the need to promote their pop industry. After that, Korean came to fill up the void left by Jpop and repeated the game.

The insight in the topics are good but much better with the comedic touch. Awesome channel.

@@thanosal-titan hard to describe, but it's very "iconic", in the sense that the style feels like it's stuck in the past. It's generally uplifting, with a lower bpm, than say modern music.

Very good. Very funny but informative.

This is the best breakdown between K-pop and J-pop! I enjoyed this video tremendously and laughed so hard. I think if the Japanese artists are happy with their unique domestic market, then more power to them. It is true that K-pop has successfully captured the global market, especially on KZread, as I am listening more to K-pop than even Western artists.
