>>6379323>Pop has some really good stuff>would actually rival the West.I could not disagree harder. As a music graduate and musician especially, western pop all sounds like absolute garbage to me. At least j-pop has some nice instrument use going on within it a bunch of the time or some distinct changes, if you like western pop idk man.
Rap sounds bad because rap is flat out bad, even if calli was some famous ghetto jogger considered the 'peak' of rap, it would still sound shit. Rap has very little musical talent or creativity in meter, timing or composition involved in it 99% of the time.
And whilst anime music does have some metal etc in it, my meaning is that cover are never gonna go for that in a million years - not with an actual talent they're pushing as a singer. They'd let some of their talent do it in karaoke and to fuck around sure but they'd never actually back them in making/putting out that kind of music cause they're one track minds on what they want.
