******************** THE ORIGIN & HISTORY OF JPOP MUSIC ********************
J-pop (short for Japanese pop) is a music style that paved the mainstream airwaves of Japan back in the 1990s. Modern J-pop can be traced to its roots in traditional Japanese music (Ryukoka, Kayokyoku, and Japanese jazz) as early as the 1920s up to the 1960s, but heavy influence came from the pop and rock music of the 1960s, particularly The Beach Boys and The Beatles.
The Japanese branch of Tower Records back in 1990 defined J-pop as a style that includes “all Japanese music belonging to the Recording Industry Association of Japan except Japanese independent music (which they term "J-indie").”
Spanning many decades, J-pop’s notable musicians, bands, and influential artists include Ichiro Fujiyama, Noriko, Awaya, Rypoichi Hattori, Shizuko Kasagi, Chiemi Eri, Hibari Misora, Izumi, Yukimura, Kyu Sakamoto, The Peanuts, Inoue Yousui, Osami Kitajima, Eikichi Yazawa, Keisuke Kuwata, Ringo Shiina, Pizzicato Five, Glay, Flipper's Guitar, and Yellow Magic Orchestra.
J-pop was originally used to define Japanese Western-style musicians, but eventually the term became an umbrella term that covered most of the 1990s’ Japanese rock music. J-pop became so popular that it influenced the music style of other Asian regions.
