As a general rule, Japanese music is slightly superior.

>>126970633 (OP)
it's not but they're better performers and care more what fans think

>>126970633 (OP)
slightly inferior

Your ears must be as slanted as your eyes if you believe this.

i swear to god i've never once in my life seen a post with that frog that wasn't completely retarded

Japan doesn't really have a some special era where they beat everyone else in a given genre, like for example Americans and British people simply were the best in the '70s at rock, but Japan just consistently has above average good music across the board.

This makes s(oy)teens shit their pants in rage. But it's not their fault they aren't very smart

>>126970633 (OP)
Weeb faggot. You and I both know that isn't true. Post a song and I will find you one in English that is better. Midori doesn't count.

>>126970633 (OP)
Japanese rock is better than European rock (discounting the UK of course).

>>126970633 (OP)
I mean this in the nicest way: the Japanese are wonderful and prolific thieves. They can take the technicalities of a foreign style of music, food, alcohol etc production and refine them with unparalleled discipline and extreme attention to detail. But I ask you, where's the soul? Where's the joy in something that's way too perfect?

nip music is 10/10 (if you're a nip)

are popurar in the west, because they have hooky parts that are in Engrish

>>126970633 (OP)
They suck at making jazz and they have no notable classical composers. Rockist/poptimist post

>>126970633 (OP)
depends on the genre
>anime, vidya, modern mainstream rock and pop
yeah, japan gets the edge
>metal, classical, jazz, bluegrass, etc.
not much difference aside from subtle differences that are subjective or some out of the blue gimmick that most people don't care casually much about

>>126971417
this, with the exception of cheese
they can't make good cheese

Where is the japanese Beatles? Van Halen? Smashing Pumpkins?

>>126970633 (OP)
I can't even name a Japanese band other than Envy. They're good but c'mon now.

>>126972264
LMAO

>They suck at making jazz and they have no notable classical composers

hello tourist

>>126970633 (OP)
they use more complicated chord progressions & chord voicings

that's cuz /mu/ knows only the cherrypicked ones for westerners. the majority of japanese music is lame ass cheesy popslop

when you're still going through teenager hormones, then yes

>>126973250
The bands that are involved in making anime OP/ED are all pretty good usually & often technical. You see far, far more guitar based music in anime than the top 100 charts, percentage wise.

>>126973134
japanese jazz peaked with toshiko akiyoshi's prog big band stuff. all the jap slop that gets shilled here is all derivative funk-fusion shit. usa, canada, denmark, england, brazil and france are all a million times better these days

Not true at all. They're very good though.

>>126970633 (OP)
i shan't be listening to anything not sung in English as all other languages naturally sound ridiculous to non speakers

>>126970633 (OP)
Do you mean Japanese music or "Japanese music" (aka inferior imitation of western trends)

more kitsch doesn't necessarily mean better
