LOL wow thats really something considering USA and Japan alone are the 2 biggest consumers of CD revenue
does that even count digital sales??
either your too thick headed to understand what the question stated was...or your looking through your jpop hazy glasses
again how does that determine jpops popularity amongst other Asian countries compared to kpop when most of their revenue comes from japanese customers
unless you can pull statistics out of your ass that jpop sells more in Asia and is more wellknown in all of Asia(meaning outside of Japan)...then you don't really have an argument...most asian countries prefer their own musicians...Kpop is the only outside music outside of AMerican music that somewhat challenges local musicians in Asia
Jpop has almost no influence in Asia besides Taiwan...and even then kpop overtook jpop in Taiwan...jpop is basically invisible in other Asian countries...if your lucky to find 1 jpop CD in a Asian music store its probably in the bargain bin along with Macarena and Electric Slide
Kpop gets number 1 hits in major music shows all over Asia...do you understand your ignorance in underestimating kpops popularity amongst China, Taiwan, THailand, Philippines, VIetnam, Malaysia. etc???
