Title: K-Pop/J-Pop Anyone?
Post by: pluggy on May 07, 2013, 01:48:11 AM
Couldn't find a thread specifically for the wonderful world of K-Pop + J-Pop (that is, Korean and Japanese Pop) so I thought I'd start one off.

My wife got me into it a couple years back and there's some awesome stuff out there. Psy (of Gangnam Style fame) has made it big but it differs quite a lot from some of the more conventional music.

A few of my favourites are:

Sherlock by Shinee - a very Michael Jackson inspired tune with some of the best choreography ever:

PomPomPom by Kyary Pamyu Pmayu - Bubblegum Pop at its bubblegummiest:

Gee by Girls' Generation (SNSD) - It was this band that got me into K-Pop and their first three or so albums are amazing:

Anywho, have a listen and see what you reckon.
