You must know that almost all the early famous songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan in China, or some of them now, were paid to buy the copyright of Japanese songs and then modify them into Chinese lyrics. In other words, Japanese music is actually very early It has influenced Chinese music before. To be honest, without the existence of Japanese music, the music of Asia and even the whole world would be far behind what it is now. You know, Japan has a large number of musicians who influence the world, such as Kitaro and Ryu Sakamoto. One, Hisaishi Joe, Hotai Toruyasu, Ono Lisa and so on. In South Korea, there is only one slightly more trendy Psy, whose popularity has also dropped. There is another one who is more famous, Big Bang, but to be honest, their influence in the music industry is like Jackie Chan's influence in Hollywood. , although I know there is such a combination, I wouldn’t say I like it very much, it’s just that it’s well-known, so it’s better to find out more about it.
Then let’s analyze it. Anyone who seriously understands Japanese music knows that the most outstanding thing about Japanese music is their arrangement and composition. I am a musical instrument major. Strictly speaking, I am very envious of Japanese music arrangements. Almost one song contains the sounds of many instruments, which are numerous but not complicated. Then let’s talk about Korean music. The first impression of Korean music must be K-POP. That’s right, it is actually hip-pop sung in Korean. Of course, not all Korean songs are sung in hip-pop. Bigbang's "If You" is a good example. Let’s explain some of the differences between the music of the two countries. To put it bluntly, Japanese music is famous for its melody, while Korean music is famous for its rhythm (rhythm). But here comes the problem. When it comes to rhythm, black people have the strongest sense of rhythm in the world. There is no objection to this. But when it comes to melody arrangement, I can say loudly that the Japanese are the race that is best at arranging melody in the world. .
Now, let’s talk about the musicians. Friends who have played popular instruments for a long time know that Japanese guitarists have the most masters in the world except the United States, but now even the United States People say that the Japanese's application of guitar performance has surpassed the level of the United States. Friends who have never played musical instruments may not understand this very well, so I won't explain it here. As for South Korea, I'm sorry, I haven't heard of many musicians who can stand up in the whole world. This is just like China. Awkward. Note, I said pop instruments! It's not a Western instrument or a classical instrument.
Finally, what I want to say is that pop music in the entire world originated in Europe and the United States. In other words, Europe and the United States created the roots of pop music, but Japan integrated these roots to create something that only the Japanese Music that can only be made. Still the same sentence: "Japanese music is Japanese, and Korean and Chinese music imitate Europe and the United States."
