r/jpop

Its one of those Jpop ballad style songs. It may or may not have been from an anime ED. This chorus randomly pops up in my head every now and then but I dont remember where I've heard it from. The section i wrote just repeats twice if i remember correctly and thats the entire chorus

The song "After the Meteor Shower" is also available on the streaming platforms and bandcamp if interested!

As many may have seen, the most recent posts on this sub have been all AI generated music.

Should we as a sub have a policy or position against AI music? I recognize that there's room for nuance such as when AKB had the Yasushi Akimoto vs AI competition but overall, thoughts?

I am huge AKB48 fan but I don't know that much other jpop idols groups so I watched keyakizaka46 out of curiosity lives on youtube and on one of their performance they look like salarywomen in business suit and on other live they wore long one piece dresses so you cannot see even their knee. Are they aiming for female audience or what are they aiming for? I think they would be much succesfull jpop group if they would atleast show something like AKB48?(knees or something) as a man I was disappointed seeing them in business suits.

okay ive been a casual jpop listener for like my whole life but ive never actually got very familiar with the idols and etc. Im more of an actual fan of the divas yk like the avex girls, utada, crystal kay, etc, but when it comes to the idol groups i just never went further than listening to the songs yk. These past few weeks tho im feeling like actually getting into the groups and picking an oshi and all of that but i might have the WORST luck ever because the groups i listen to the most are fucking wasuta and tokisen….like yall have no idea what it was like for me to see wasuta live and decide to start being a more active fan only for them to disband RIGHT AFTER…..AND NOW TOKISEN IS OVER IM GONNA KMS….So im making this post to genuinely ask yall to recommend me groups that have a similar vibe to tokisen and wasuta that arent like akb or momusu with the whole graduation system thing and that ARENT DISBANDING ANYTIME SOON FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

I have been a big pillows fan since I was 13 hearing they broke up made me insanely sad but sawao himself usually does some covers of pillows songs

Hey there! I'm going to my first J-pop concert: I'm in the U.S., and so is the concert. I've been to K-pop concerts, and I'm familiar with things like lightsticks, freebies, what to wear, and things like that. What should I expect from J-pop? Lightsticks? What should I wear? Do you do freebies, too? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Just got into the genre as a 41m. Loving it. Listening to Hikari Utada, Minami, Aimer, LiSA, and Ado currently. What artists / albums should I check out?

Can someone recommend or help me find songs with this sort of melancholic feeling but with lively instrumentals? Looking for things like EVERBLUE by Omoinotake, Gunjo by YOASOBI, some of the Discography of Back Number and Higedan. This type of music really makes me feel alive but I find myself running into it almost by accident and can't really find it by myself. I've listened to the majority of the (more popular) Discography of the groups mentioned above (except Omoinotake) but still if you have some niche recommendation from them I'd still appreciate it :)
