Do you listen to JPop and/or Cpop in addition to KPop?

used to like a lot of japanese music

dont like jpop as a whole because of how kpop-ish its starting to sound like

there's a lot of good japanese artists still though, they're just rarely advertised outside japan

like to listen to some of my faves occasionally

cpop is DEFINITELY not my thing

No, I only listen to K pop.

Yeah

LiSA is great, been loving her music for almost a decade now

I listen to both Jpop and Jrock.

What is it about cpop that you don't like?

might be rude to say out loud

Yes. In fact I got into kpop because of jpop. (anime openings sung by Korean artists)

Cpop I listen to because I like watching C-dramas and the songs regularly get stuck in my head.

Nope, i can only listen to songs sung in a language that i can at least partially understand. Subtitles are fine for movies but when it comes to music, they're not good enough.

I dont know how y'all non Korean speakers can be so into Kpop, but i give you much props for being able to look past the language barrier.

J-pop, you can have a rec from me.

Eh just some JPOP.

Not a fan of the chinese language to be honest. Not appealing to my ears.

Glad to know I am not the only one that finds Chinese kinda meh on the ears.

I listen to Japanese city pop but most of them are from the 80s and early 90s. I listen to a few Cdrama OSTs, WayV, and a few Chinese songs here and there.

For Me JROCK >> KPOP >= JPOP >> CPOP.

Note. This is from a "group" perspective.

JROCK is so diverse in nature vastly more than KPOP. No matter what you want they have it from Death Metal to soft-core jazz/rock. And not just from guys but have all female groups that can do the same.

KPOP in general is a lot more polished than JPOP both in outfits, singer quality, choreographic (I'm not a fan of modern dance for one so that drags JPOP down a bit.)

JPOP has gotten so much better than the old AKB48 days of 10 years ago as they've gone away from the sexualized stuff drastically (thankfully) and now have some quality groups that are getting highly recognized. They've also started opening up more to international audiences.

CPOP has a few things I like but very few. They just seem like glamor shots with out of step dancing, or just plane stomping on the ground (grrr) and basically everyone having around the same type of facial expression of (see how cool, beautiful, or handsome I am). I'm less a fan about how physically attractive they are if they aren't an actual team on stage. That's the first thing I look for. (Don't get me started on Yang Chaoyue from Rocket Girls.)

Jpop kind of lit to listen!

Listen to J-Pop and a little C-Pop like Jolin Tsai

Ok, this is coming from someone who doesn't really listen to JPOP but if you guys like KPOP, why don't you like JPOP starting to sound like KPOP (if indeed it is)?

japanese pop music has been amazing since like 1980s and only after kpop blew up internationally JPOP scene came out and it sounds like a knock off of kpop and infinitely worse ( to me ) than all the different kinds of japanese pop music that have existed and still exists so.......basically its like an inferior product

kpop atleast is original in its own way

japan has its original solid product but when it tries to emulate kpop it feels like a cheap knock off

Yes I know w few songs but I don't really stan that many jpop groups. I casually listen to cpop. I prefer jrock over jpop though

Yes, I like all 3.

Maybe because I onlh like Twicepop?

No, seriously it is not like I hate kpop. I just love the varieties of music you can find between kpop and jpop

. . . I listen to some j-pop and c-pop song, that I think it's good

. . . although I might listen to some j-pop and c-pop groups is year tho

. . . like for example I have Matsuri nine. or NEO JAPONISM in mind for j-pop and for C-pop . . . idk lmao

Aside from K-pop I listen to a lot of C-Pop (mando and cantopop) and a little J-Pop on the side too. Mostly older stuff though.

Examples:

Some oldies:

Listened to cpop a lot long long time ago. If kpop is best for pop, cpop was best for ballads for people who really liked ballads.

I've listened to J-Pop (mostly anisong) for 8 years before listening to K-Pop

I dabble in j-pop a bit,I mostly listen to Perfume,AAA and J-Soul Brothers.

i like all three

kpop for dance music

jpop for rock music

and cpop for ballad

mandopop is amazing haha, there are a lot of good songs

yes actually

I listen to cpop predominantly, the language is especially beautiful in music.

Jpop is mostly bts' japanese stuff and the rare song i come across. I also haven't been listening to kpop except for BTS for the last 2 years

I barely have time to keep up with Kpop as is, so no.

But use to dig Perfume and Kyari way way way back when.

I listen to Jpop song even before Kpop

Koda Kumi’s background dancers were eating it!

I used to listen to jrock
