>implying theres a significant difference between different styles of Asian pop music
Carter Gutierrez
I'm not sure what made anime so big in Japan. I do know that Japanese culture was shaped by a huge boom in the interest on the electronic market after the second WW. People were allowed more freedom to seek what they wanted to do. Before and during the War, people only cared about expanding the empire and army service. Few businesses created art and what not cause art was seem as weakness. But like I said nobody cared much about the army after the war and people had more time to be creative. I think that is how anime and manga got popular cause people had more freedom to be artist. Don't take my guess as truth a lot of it is just my personal theory about how Japanese culture came to be . Also idk why Japanese people like western culture maybe because of the same reason Westerns like Japanese culture. Because it's different and unique? Again just guessing
Daniel Roberts
Explain how chinese music and japanese are so different.
Lincoln Taylor
Since America pretty much made Japan their creation post WW2 they saw a lot of American culture from a limited PoV. Disney blew up with them because of how cute it was I heard and they tried to mimic it which probably was a big influence on the anime art style.
Don't have a source, idk how credible this is but I remember researching that on a history of Japan paper for a class once
Isaiah Martin
I found something about anime and manga in an old book about Japanese Culture it was published in 1999 when anime was still growing in the West I'll try my best to get good pictures of the text.

Korean is basically nifferied mixed with cute shit.
>What led Japan to develop such toon child-like industry and culture? What's this in relation to? American toon child-like industry? That's obviously not true. So who else? Russian toon industry? Definitely. Russia is a tough place to be, so it produces harsh things. However Japan isn't producing only toon child-like industry, its also producing toon adult-like industry. Although that's bit different than American toon industry. America has no adult toon industry. Its all child-like.
The question is, why does Japan produce both adult and child-like toon industries, why does America only produce child-like industries and why some countries produce either or both.
Luke Robinson
This doesn´t explain, it merely describes the phenomenon.

I didn't say it explained it, I just said I found d information about it

>fight for truth and justice If it had been in (((America))) it would be fight for transgender bathroom and minorities. Even the concept of truth is ridiculed now by the so called educated, and justice has lost it meaning entirely. Fuck this gay world and culture. But I digress...
Michael Young
Google Kawaii shit started as a revolt to traditional Japanese culture and gender roles, and the teenagers picked it up to be edgy and cool (like emos) and become a nation wide phenomenom that ended up influencing the whole Japanese culture
I know I'm not saying you did. I just wanted to understand. And thanks for sharing btw.

This Not to mention early 2000 kpop music/drama culture is basically the same shit as what Taiwan and Japan has at the time They kinda shift to their current form somewhere in 2004-2010ish but their Base form are the same

>korean link is percusion nigger shit >chinese keeps using the traditional chords and repetitions >japanese is literally a copy of beyonce and proto Hip-Hop Yes, there is a difference. Those are popular music anyway.
You didn't answer my question. Why does Japan create that child-like toon industry and culture? Now that you mention it, Tchaikovsky's work has been used for child toons soundtracks and effects. Romanticism has been always child-like. Just look at those faggots dying for ((((((((((((((((((((((((love)))))))))))))))))))))))).
Luis Brown
Nigga popular music is the music industry. And the only reason the Chinese pop isn't hip-hop influenced is due to government control
Also compare AK48(Jap) vs Girls Generation(Gook) literally no difference

One thing that I've noticed is that Japan likes to blend shit up and throw "japanese culture" into everything. Whatever influence they get, they blend it into their culture. >Big nip game franchise ost? Play it at a packed venue with samishen and koto. >Cool sci fi genre from abroad? Mecha Nobunaga. >Popular anime theme? The JSDF band plays it.
They are very open to blending what is japanese with whatever they find cool. Korean pop culture seems to just copy and paste shit from America afaik
Mason Morales
Ah the most coherent reason that I've heard is that cuteness is massively valued in their culture, the concept of kawaii and so things that the west would consider childish can be considered cute and hence acceptable. Also this is mixed with the unforgiving nature of Japanese society, very long and dreary work hours and life. Because of this a good portion of their media focuses on an idealised childhood/highschool life. As a form of escapism and nostalgia.
Also the reality is that media can be a small part of culture
Gavin Ross
I read somewhere that nuking those fucks caused them to lose confidence and go for more "kawaii" art or something. Idk. Two nukes wasn't enough, strawpoll.me/13523930/r

I'm not sure if Japanese anons are actually autistic or they just write like that because of shit English skills.
Alexander Wood
Is this actually true?
Anthony Miller
This is a meme. It's not the nukes. It's the sexual revolution from 1960s. Same thing happened in the West, just in a slightly different way.
Brody Morgan
>It's the sexual revolution from 1960s. lmao
Adam Flores
It's not like this guy said, OP. Comics were already growing since before the war. Also, moving picture storytellers were also quite popular with kids before the rise of manga in postwar Japan. This is the side of Japan that the Japanese themselves neglected, and what could have been their salvation back then, instead of the false delusion of grandeur for expansionism and imperialism. Eventually these forms of arts were also employed for the purpose of state propaganda and indoctrination, subservient towards unity and imperialism amidst the chaos of the Great Depression and Wilsonian lies, rather than for advancement o progress and freedom.
Robert Baker
Fucking weeb. The song is catchy tho.
Jackson Lopez
Anime and manga are popular in Japan because it's more profitable for the Japs to just draw some shit than make sets and do good-looking makeup and shit. That's why live-action Japanese stuff looks cheap as hell; they have to make up the difference.
Landon Thompson
Where was this?
Michael Taylor
Yes, they should be even cuter after a third nuke.
Landon Rivera
Two (2) nukes.

the love for esthetics everywhere came from perpetual hunger I think, because it was before buddhism and other influences now how it mutated is not that important, also it's true they are way too shitty actors and the perfection of 2d (porn or not) is just great if you need to feel good about your unwillingness to procreate. How another first world countries put up with these feels? Social justice? So weebshit is not that bad in the very core
