Well Asian music at the moment is at its most prominent times, with a variety of singers from all the over the Asian continent they are almost difficult to name. Every country has its own idol and singer that is pretty much recognized in the Asian music industry. Right now the music scene in Asia, is reached into international regions, especially J-Pop, the Japanese has certainly accomplished a tremendous feat. Collaborations with other western bands is just an example of how the Asian music is becoming more diverse, an example of this includes Coldplay’s collaboration with Japanese group SMAP with their performance of Viva La Vida. Not only does the two cultures are able to appreciated each other music but also to work together to create a piece of music is many people’s dreams, the uniqueness is rarely seen.
As for myself, being a Chinese-Australian, I enjoy both culture music both the western and the eastern music scene really do show its own uniqueness while still both sharing the same interest in genres and style. To hear music in a different language is amazing, the lyrics compared to the western music take time to analysis as its meanings aren’t as concise, but it is figuring out what the lyrics actually mean is the most fun and interesting part.
I highly recommend people who do not listen to music of a different culture, to give it a try even though you do not understand the lyrics, to be a true music lover, you must know the music from different backgrounds, learn to appreciate it. Asian music has certainly skyrocketed its way into mainstream music, and for a future prediction, its will only expand its territory, not just in Asian but to the western cultures as well.
