SouFiel 5,381 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 not all of course, there are many who do....but ive noticed many kpop fans strictly just stay within kpop...why do you think theyre not curious to check out other asian music scenes and another example is people will only follow their bias group's korean promotions...when they promote in japan...majority of fans dont really care tbh and wont follow as closely as they do korean. if you havent, whats your reason?

Midna 2,032 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 because Kpop fans think Jpop is similar to Kpop, and when they see that the idol industry is NOTHING like SK's, they get turned off from it. Nevermind that the japanese music industry is comprised of mostly soloists and bands, with groups here and there. Idols are abundant too, but they're like one aspect of the industry.

Universe 3,334 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 As a former fan of JPop, Kpop is much more interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 because theye not open minded This is the biggest culprit. A lot of KPop fans only want groups who are doing top 40 pop and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen_ki 11,021 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 For me, I don't like the music most of the time. There is a song I like every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basic 727 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 usually they were fans of jpop before and then moved onto kpop afterwards or just kinda new to kpop and havent branched out to other asian music or even outside of their own bias group.

Mccuish 1,935 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I've been a Jpop fan long before I became a Kpop fan. I haven't really given Cpop a chance yet since I haven't find some chinese songs I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racquelle2005 3,692 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I listen to all 3 and have fave genres from all 3 but japanese idols bore the shit out of me and I don't know much about chinese ones.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm finding that a lot of KPop fans now just jumped straight into KPop like this decade so they missed the whole JPop thing last decade. I KNEW YOU WOULD BE IN HERE XD LOL! i'm just too lazy to find songs to listen to.. although, i'm slightly getting into cpop.. sort of. i like some of jolin tsai's music. LOL, KPop in Mandarin.

But for me this is quite good. but still Jrock >>> walls >>> walls >>>walls >>>> everythang Yeah, there's an aversion to anything that isn't top 40 pop so rock is a no go. Plus they're over 25 so that's another no go. The funny thing is that if you're looking for youth in today's Japanese music scene, you're either doing to have to go down the rock/indie/folk lane or the idol lane. Japanese youth today isn't really trying do top 40 pop. That was more of a thing last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oshawott 406 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I listen to cpop occasionally (mostly the ballads b/c they're sorta similar to k ballads) but jpop is a no for me (unless you count anime ost) There's a few gems in jpop/anime ost but a majority of it just doesn't fit my tastes.

That was more of a thing last decade. probably the newer generation. kpop is a lot more accessible so of course it's a lot easier to get into it through youtube and other social media. really sucks because the fans who only stick to kpop are missing out on quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
