J-pop is worth $2.7 billion, its not dying. (Part 2)

[DocumentaLy]

Jpop can live on its own because Japanese doesnt have or less prejudice towards idols. Maybe because Japan has so many cultures, idols, anime, gravure idols.

 

LOL

 

 

I believe in you, but the low birth rate means the Music Market in Japan will stagnate from 2 place to either 10 or 16 places, that's all i know.

 

 

And what will happen to Korea? What happens when KPop becomes passe?

 

I wonder how much percentage from that revenue coming from the idol gimmicky sales. Look at those hundred thousands and millions of copies that Akimoto and Johnny's acts have scored. Meanwhile a band/singer/musician almost cannot even score a platinum-certificated single from physicals alone. Will the industry stop counting those handshake tickets and limit the multiple copies (maybe from max 20 copies to max 7-8 copies), do you think the market will stay healthy?

 

 

That's because the public moved on from physical singles like a decade ago. Nobody has bought physical singles in nearly a decade except for idol fans. This is also why those millions of idol singles sold annually don't generate hits like the digital market.

 

Thanks to K-Pop and maybe those solo acts like Kenshi, Aimyon, and Gen, J-Pop is able to generate a growth. The industry needs to take notes of this success and not just relies on the chart inflation caused by huge idol sales so that there will be more competition and hype and the industry will be great again.

 

 

The industry has taken note. Look at all the changes Oricon has made recently. Look at how Billboard is becoming more and more prominent.

That's because the public moved on from physical singles like a decade ago. Nobody has bought physical singles in nearly a decade except for idol fans. This is also why those millions of idol singles sold annually don't generate hits like the digital market.

 

And the question is whether industry eliminates the large portion of those millions which comes from gimmicks (handshake tickets) and maybe reduces the limit of the number of copies bought for the same album (from 20 max. to, let's say, 7-8 max.). If it happens one day and the rule continues after that, do you think the industry is about to suffer??

Despite it's just an April Fool's joke, I really hope what you said in Arama here will happen and we can see how the industry deals with it.
