    There were some years i listened to Kpop, some years active following up on everything some years just runing through the same old stuff. 

    Its easy on the ears, you get easy into a new song, because of how much they sound the same. 

    The thing i noticed how i got used to this over time of listening. 

    They always have that obligatory rap part inside somewhere.  i personally think its the most noticable thing, even if you have no idea about music you will notice that at one point every group needed a rapper. 

    Eitherway we all know the music is generic crap. 

    The fandoms are hell (apparently some groups have nice fandoms)

    I am tired of seeing fancams on twitter everywhere. 

    Visual wise they all  look the same. 

    Plastic surgery everywhere

    Sexualising minors

    I could go on with the stuff that annoys me on kpop, but lets stop it

    I am just waiting for the third generation groups to finally get some nice scandals. (i mean second generations kpop had some shit going on)

    The only thing i still listen to sometimes are Wonder Girls.

     

    Oh, yes, also thanks to those JO1 guys the kpop fandom kept attacking the jpop fandom for a while on twitter. It was fun. 

    Last but not least, i think KPop has some actually good singers out there, Its just hard to know when they have to sing and perform some crazy dance performance at the same time. Or they get like 3 words inside the whole song. They have dancers that are good, but that doesn't mean they can sing. They have good rappers, but that doesn't mean they can dance. 

     

    Also i remember seeing some live stuff from bts and don't get me wrong, but it was crap. First off, those microphones that are around your head are mostly shit eitherway, second they wasnt able to keep the singing up during the dancing, which didn't surpise me in the least. 

     

    Ah. sorry it got long and like always i feel its chaotic

    One thing coming to my mind, that especially made it easy to go to KPop instead VK, is the language barrier. 

    I don't talk about the songs itself, but the musicans/singer/idol/whatever themselves. There are so many in VK who can't even talk the most simple english or understand it. Meanwhile Kpop groups start to all have a english speaker inside, or someone who is learning english. 

    (I am talking now mainly about english because its aknowledged as international language)

    The thing about this is, that especially foreign fans will feel more near if their 'idol' sometimes posts on social media in a language they know. 

    Or you write a fan letter and you know he will be able to read it.

     

    You guys understand what i am writing? I am not good at writing stuff like this down, i think.

    The accessibility problem that plagues VK can also be applied to a lot of Japanese music, which still region locks its content and prevents those living outside of Japan from listening/buying their music products

    Dont forget the cut off MVs. 

    But beside this also TV shows or anything like this is so hard to get by because stuff gets straight away deleted from youtube. All over Japanese Music Industry was somehow never friendly towards outside.

    (I do admit i am happy that they forbid cameras inside concerts, because i don't like those fancam stuff that is going on in KPop)

    I'm thankful I have left my "the artists I follow are perfect" naive phase, and I can still be critical of many aspects of it (selling 10 versions of the same single is still bogus to me)

    Happy to hear, other people had this awful phase too.

    . So I have no hope for this scene until a bunch of American girls find VK and ditch BTS and make some band from Danger Crue, BP, or the Gazette. popular.

    Apparently there are some kpop girls that started listening to vk too. But you can find that old fans or "hardcore" fans like to critise those girls a lot.  It think entering the VK fandom is unfortunatly quite hard. There are not a lot who welcome you with open arms.

    I think i am gonna seperate my stuff into Pop and Rock

     

    Pop-wise i can mainly only talk for groups contracted to LDH.

    The three Vocals from The Rampage went to the USA to train their vocals, beside the vocal training they also had in Japan. So technique wise i suppose they should be near to what is standard also inside western Pop. 

     

    A cut from their apperance at a-nation. You can notice that they are seperated into Singer (Vocal) and Dancer (Performer). You can check out their older "Brother" Groups too, Exile the second, Sandaime J Soul Brothers, Generations from Exile Tribe

    adding a sample for Exile

     

     

     

    Rock wise, i am a bit rosted, accounting that i didn't really follow up any jrock for some years. 

    I remember back in the days a lot of vocals became vocals because no one else wanted to do it, ,or they changed from other position into vocal position. 

    Beside that i think two others  factors may make it difficult sometimes to get good quality vocals. 

    - Untrained screaming, that can result in damage of the vocal chords

    -  and of course smoking 

     

    I dont know what examples to put for good singing in the Rock category, also i think i might be to much biased here. Sorry.
