craig 680 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 :roll: You don't get to be queen of a market for selling well two-three years . She sells well, but she hasn't made any sort of impact on the Japanese industry or influenced many artists or pop trends in Japan like, say, Utada Hikaru's introduction of R&B to Japan, or Ayumi Hamasaki's general shaping of the entire pop market from 2000-2005/6. Electronic and Dance music is still generally not successful in Japan. The only occurrence of it has been the Hallyu wave, which has been influencing the Japanese market. If R&B was newly introduced and danceelectronic generally isn't big, what is their main form of pop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace 353 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) If R&B was newly introduced and danceelectronic generally isn't big, what is their main form of pop? Most of their pop is highly saccharine, electronic elements are coming into fashion, but not dance. There's some Eurobeat influence left over from the nineties, and sugary pop songs are popular. This abomination single sold one million physical CD copies on its first day alone. Most of their big hits, however, are ballads. Japan eats ballads up like crack. The two top selling artists of all time in Japan are also Rock bands(Mr. Children and Southern All Stars), that has a bigger impact over there than it does in the states anymore. R&B's not exceptionally new, Utada Hikaru brought it to prominence in 98-99. I'm sure they did have some R&B before that, but Utada Hikaru is largely responsible for nearly single-handedly making the genre marketable and popular in the country. Electronica and dance music DO exist in Japan, they're not unheard of, they simply are not successful. Gaga's an anomally in that regard, I'm not sure how to explain her success based on whats actually popular in the Japanese Market.

craig 680 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Ballads though don't cross language barriers well. You look at foreign language acts that make any impact in USUK, they either have a s-xy or unusual image, or their music is driven by beats and instruments. So we know about s-xy Shakira, and metal bands like Rammstein. Edited December 14, 2011 by craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
