J-Pop refers to Japanese pop music, which encompasses a wide range of genres and styles. It is characterized by catchy melodies, upbeat rhythms, and often features idol groups.
Imagine J-Pop as a colorful and energetic dance party where everyone is singing along to catchy tunes. Just like how popular songs in your own language make you feel happy and want to dance, J-Pop does the same for Japanese people.
Idol Groups: These are musical groups consisting of young performers who not only sing but also dance and entertain their fans.
Anime Songs: Many J-Pop artists contribute songs to anime series, making them an integral part of the anime culture.
Visual Kei: This is a subgenre of J-Pop that focuses on elaborate costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, creating unique visual aesthetics.
