History

Early history

Korean modern pop music firstly appeared in 1915, affected by Filipino pop songs. [3] Since Japanese colonial authorities needed to restrict all forms of art in Korea, Korean rarely had the opportunity to establish their own modern music style. [4] In the early 1920s, the recording industry emerged in Shanghai, China. [5] Japanese pop music originated in the Showa Period, which was the heyday of Jazz music. [6]

Modernization Period

The development of Japanese music industry was hindered by World War II. [7] Subsequently, when Japan was occupied by the US, the US military played music such as boogie-woogie, mambo, blues ,and country music, introducing new music styles to Japan. [7] In 1948, the ‘Tokyo boogie-woogie’, Chiemi Eri's ‘Tennessee Waltz’, Misora Hibari's ‘Omatsuri Mambo’ and ‘Omoide no Waltz’ became the representative songs, and they were published as music records. [8] During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music was weakening in the mainland of China due to the introduction of Soviet music. [9]

Recent Development

And the 1990s were the heyday of J-pop when many records in the music market were broken. [10] Sales revenue was more than 400 billion yen (around 2.7 Billion US dollars) in 1991, 500 billion yen in 1993, and reached an unsurpassed point of 607.5 billion yen in 1998. [10] Music market expansion also brought music style diversification and strong competition. From 1995 to 1997, three major entertainment companies in South Korea (S.M.Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment), were founded. [11] In the first decade of the 21st century, music brands like BoA, TVXQ, Shinhwa, Super Junior, BigBang, Wonder Girls, Girls' Generation, 2AM, 2PM, emerged one after another, jointly creating the golden age of k-pop idols. [12] At this stage, Korean entertainment companies were more systematic and professional in the idol industry. [12] Underground artists also contributed to hip-hop mainstream. [12] Kim Bum-soo was the first South Korean artist to reach the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and no. 51 in 2001. [12] In 2005, "You are my rose", the first mobile album in China, completely broke the traditional marketing mode released through CD, store, network and other channels. [9] On 19 February 2019, Johnny's Entertainment ( also called 株式会社ジャニーズ事務所 ) will officially launch virtual idols online in cooperation with SHOWROOM, a company providing video live streaming service. [7]

Business structure

Recorded music and radio broadcasting

In the early 1920s EMI Records Ltd from French, whose main businesses are film and music recording, set up a branch in Shanghai, that provided the quickest way to spread European and American pop music in China. [5] In the end of the 1970s, the cassette tapes produced by Sanyo Japan and Pacific Audio & Video Co directly boosted Chinese popular music. [13] In 1990, 180 million cassettes were sold in India, and that makes it the world's second-largest market for cassettes. [14] In this year, Japan was ranked after the US. [14] In China, the new generation of musicians was absorbing nutrition from European, American and Japanese music industry at will. [5] They re-wrote the popular songs in the 1930s, carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future. [5] In Guangzhou, China, ‘The Old Three Musketeers’, consists of Youzhong Jin, Jialin Ding, and Kang Situ, were leaders in the music recording industry.

Live house

"Live House", which is a club with live music, is also a popular business structure in Asia. [16] It firstly appeared in Japan, and was one of the four kinds of concert venues: music hall, arena, Dome and Live house. [16] A Live House is the smallest concert venue, and usually has a capacity of 100 to 500 people. [16] Zepp Tour appeared correspondingly, and it is a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment Music, which specializes in Live House. [16] Zepp has six chain stores in Japan, namely, sendai, Hokkaido, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and fukuoka. [16] In Japan, a large Live House like Zepp in Tokyo is also the first choice for many overseas singers. [16] The Zepp Tour is the venue for Japanese premiers by overseas singers and groups. [17] In China, music consumers aged between 22 and 40 are increasingly interested in Live House performances. [18] From 2014 to 2016, Chinese live houses fell into low tide period. [19] Some high-quality Live houses (such as Beijing Sparrow House) closed down, and the well-known MAO Live House once confronted with the survival crisis. [19] However, the small and medium-sized Live industry did not stop growing. [18] With the consumption growth and consumption upgrade, millennials have higher requirements on the interactivity and experience of entertainment products, and the box office revenue of Live House has increased significantly. [18]

Digital and online distribution

In 1997 musician Zhe Chen set up the first music website in China. [20] By 2000, there were hundreds of music websites in DMVE cooperated with SINA to promote Lou Geng Sed's new song ‘butterfly flower’ on the website. [20] In 2001, Xuecun's "All the people in northeast China are living Lei Feng" became a hit on the Internet, and it was the biggest news in the Chinese music industry. [20] Since then, many singers have discovered a new possibility. [21] In 2003, South Korea became the first music market where the sales revenue of digital music exceeded physical music sales. [22] In 2004, "Mouse loves rice", "Lilac flower" and "Two butterflies" became popular, and online songs quickly became a popular cultural phenomenon. [21] In 2018, 96% of Indian consumers use smartphones while listening music, and this is the highest rate all over the world, and message apps are the main ways for Chinese consumers to share their favorite songs (65% using Wechat, 64% using QQ and 62% using Weibo). [15] The development of online distribution also caused a decline in the traditional recording industry, and the crisis of record industry lasted for nearly a decade. [15] Compared to the first and second generation, the third generation of Korean idols represented by EXO, Got7, Winner and IKon are more globalized and rely more on the digital and online distribution. [23] In the first quarter of 2018, QQ music, Kugou music and Kuwo music owned by Tencent music had 254 million active users, 227 million active users and 111 million active users respectively. [21] In 2018, 70% of Tencent music's revenue came from users' fees for giving virtual gifts (such as stars and small tangyuan) to artists (or other users). The other 30% comes from paid streaming subscriptions, digital downloads and advertising. [24]

[25] China's media and entertainment industries are witnessing a change in the nature of the relationship between fans and the artists/studios they follow. [26] Fans are now influencing the market from sharing their original works as active members of the fan community, and participants in the "gift economy", leveraged by studio content experts seeking to ensure the success of the works before they are released into the market. [26] Chinese media and entertainment companies are embracing the creativity of fans and looking for new ways to develop, invest in and nurture their fan base, co-create products, especially with high level "super fans", and go beyond mere lifestyle to drive purchases. [26]

South Korea Music Industry

[27] In the first decade of the 21st century, BoA, TVXQ, Shinhwa, Super Junior, BigBang, Wonder Girls, Girls' Generation, 2AM, 2PM and so on, emerged one after another, jointly creating the golden age of k-pop idols. [12] K-pop also gave birth to two of the biggest music groups of 2020s, BTS and Blackpink. At this stage, Korean entertainment companies were more systematic and professional in the idol industry. [12] Korean entertainment companies have a completed idol industry, following a process of "trainee selection – trainee training – marketing planning – idol group selection – music production – release ".

[28] The private lives of Japanese stars are also controlled by their agencies, or bound by contracts. [28] Many of them have to ask their agencies for permission to date and even get married. [28] While Japan led the world in the adoption of mobile consumer culture, such as ringtones, from the 1990s to the end of the 2000s, it has lagged behind in the adoption of streaming formats. [30] Naming the online streaming service "radio" is not as familiar to new media as it is in the us. [30] The lack of a legal licence further constrains the growth of streaming services, so they must negotiate rights with record labels, which are reluctant to offer Japanese content, including current top charts and out-of-date catalogues, to streaming companies. [30] Finally, smartphones took longer to catch on in Japan because the flip phones of the mid-2000s were so advanced that the iPhone didn't look as groundbreaking when it was released. [30]

[31] Garhwali clips are uploaded to streaming sites like YouTube, as well as information sites that follow Garhwal's or personal pages and blogs.
