Why J-Pop?

abigailpixler5452

While K-Pop seems to be conquering the world right now, I thought it would be fun to chat about what got me into the music scene in Asia first – J-POP! Japan is a country that is intriguing in more ways than one. Sure, there are the beautiful landscapes, with breathtaking mountain scenes, pretty cherry blossom trees and scenic ocean views, but what stands out above all else is their culture – the people who call that land their home.
