Japan has a good music scene with lots interesting and innovative independent artists. If only they aren’t so closed off, we would have more Asian representation in the pop scene.

Anyways, it’s a huge win for BTS yet a gain!!!

And in less than a month we will have the BTS and back number collab!

I hope it performs well, I think it has the potential to introduce modern jrock to a whole new audience.

Congrats to Actual Legends for holding Asia's name in the map of world's music industry.

Exactly!

I think BTS getting rock influence in their music from j-rock instead of western rock is actually a great move. It will sound new and fresh to the BTS sound and not be a derivative of western music. I'm excited to see BTS keep expanding their musical repertoire!

Yes! J-rock does have a different sound especially to the mainstream western rock. Not to mention western rock is kind of dead right now.

The whole jrock wave that came after the idol boom in Japan was great really. I wish something like that happened in Korea.

(Wait, I've been listening to Kenshi for a long time without knowing his name 😅)

Lmao. His impact
