The Japanese music scene has a very high status in Asia and even the world. The main reason for this is that Japan was defeated in the war and Japan could not build an army, so a large part of Japan's capital investment was invested in music and movies. Japan is Asia's largest record producer and market. In Asia, the Japanese music scene is unparalleled.
In the 1980s and 1990s, it can be said that the Japanese music scene supported most of the Hong Kong music scene. Europe and the United States emphasize rhythm, Asia emphasizes melody, and Japanese compositions are among the best in the world. There is no doubt that many Hong Kong stars' famous songs are covers of Japanese songs.
Japanese singers do not value appearance like Chinese and Korean singers. Their singers value talent. In Japan, if a singer wants to be popular, he or she must at least be able to play musical instruments, dance, and write lyrics and music. There are many world-class singers in Japan, such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Mika Nakajima, Hikaru Utada, etc. Therefore, Japanese singers are famous for their strength, which is one of the reasons why their music scene has a high status in the world.
Japan is a country that is very good at learning. As long as there are good things in Japan, they will definitely be revered and respected. Japanese music has always had little originality. They learn the music styles of other countries and then add their own elements to develop and improve the music to the greatest extent. This is also the reason for their high status in the music world.
The main reason why the Japanese music scene has a high status is that their music education is different from China’s cramming education. They like group collaboration and don’t like individual heroism. Music is a team work. In Japan, They are doing very well, and it is precisely because of this that the Japanese music scene has a high status in the world.
