JPOP

Definition: JPOP is a abbreviation of the words Japanese Popular Music. The term was first used by Japanese radio stations and defines music that isn't traditional Japanese music (enka). Although it does refer to all modern music, music listeners tend to define JPOP as a different genre than rock or metal. JPOP tends to be upbeat, positive, and is the most common genre used for commercials and animes in Japan!
