DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Like between pop, rock, urban, electronic, and whatnot. I would say I'm into urban and rock the most. Pop is taking more of a backseat nowadays. There's an electronic presence there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitargeekette 5,960 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Urban, rock with some pop mixed in courtesy Arashi lol and occasional Enka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buns 3,767 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I love the indie and urban J-scenes and I'm also progressively growing interest in the electro scene, I just have no idea where to start. I honestly can't tell the difference between groups like Morning Musume, AKB and Berryz musically and that's not a good thing because they're relevant examples of the current pop scene and they're garbage.

Hemlock 1,537 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 mine has shifted a lot over the years. It used to be pop and ballads being the majority but it's more balanced out with rock now. Urban and electronic being in there a little bit but mostly just for a little change up when i'm bored. With more rock music means more male vocalists for me also since my music used to be like 90% female, now it's down to maybe 75% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomoMoon115 5,816 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mostly rock with some pop mixed in every now and again. Though lately I've been looking for more things to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusenkai 2,373 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mostly rock and pop-rock, with touches of classical, folk, electronic (not heavy electro), jazz, enka, and a dab of pop mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoreTokyo 1,008 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's predominantly split between Independent Rock and Electronica! Independent Rock takes up quite a bit of the material that I listen to because it has had such a large impact and takes up the majority on its own but it's strongly focused around Noise, Experimental and more aggressive acts. Electronica also takes up quite a bit of the music that I listen to but I prefer it too be much more toned down and subtle. Still listen to a decent amount of Urban and Pop but they make up a small majority and haven't cared much for either genre in the last few years.

Twin<3333LovesMango 682 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 90% J-Rap 5% Urban other 5% General J-Pop (Koda/Namie/Ayu/) And ever so once in a while maybe some J-Rock to switch it up. I used to be all about J-Rock when I first got into Japanese music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandilinn 7,814 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's more Electro/Dance for me these days, but I still like to find R&B/Urban artists to listen to, and I'll go back and listen to old R&B/Urban albums a lot. I listen to less rock than I used to, but when I find something I like I'll stick with it. For Pop it's mostly chamber pop (Kalafina, Kokia, etc). I love the indie and urban J-scenes and I'm also progressively growing interest in the electro scene, I just have no idea where to start. I honestly can't tell the difference between groups like Morning Musume, AKB and Berryz musically and that's not a good thing because they're relevant examples of the current pop scene and they're garbage. AKB is the only real relevant one in your list there. While Hello Project groups have kind of gotten a bit of a boost, they're nowhere near as relevant as they were in the early 2000s (they had better music back then, too...their songs are just bad now). I'd say LDH groups are more relevant than them (which is great because they're actually putting out good music). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haganemix 11 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 hip hop/r&b/reggae and rock... with a sprinkling of regular old pop. Obviously rock has many variants but I listen to all sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nttllng 468 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Rock and pop, also a bunch of electronic. I used to listen to RnB and soul so much back when they were good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goo 54 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 In terms of number of Japanese acts I listen to, I would say rock and electronic take a good chunk of the pie. Most of the rock I listen to falls somewhere in the alternative/experimental spectrum. Some acts I like are vaguely classifiable as indie, folk and/or jazz. But in any case, I do listen quite a lot to my favorite pop acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamanaikaze 24 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It used to be mostly rock (including metal) but now I listen to an about equal amount of pop I think. Also really like the use of classical instruments (so baroque pop/rock?) and some electronic is fine too. but generally I don't care that much about the genre as long as I like melody, vocals and lyrics.
