Are idol groups and light music clubs famous in your country too?
Or is it just Japan?

What in flipping fuck is light music club.
>idol group
Stop exporting your shit japs.
Cameron James
>famous
You mean popular?
Nope clubs don't practically exist in high schools. They are 2 busy studying for the college entrance exam
Dylan Ramirez
>or it just anime
Ftfy
James Anderson
There's music clubs but not exactly that genre it can be anything.
Christopher Reed
yes we had them in soviet union
Daniel Foster
>tfw my music club was full of dudes
>no cute guitar playing anime girl
Dominic Adams
Only Babymetal but the average person isn't aware of the "idol" concept and just considers them a Japanese group.
Dominic Sanders
The difference between Japan and Korea is that the korean government gives money to the labels to "export" their k-pop gropus worldwide.
Nobody actually cares about japanese idol groups, just very few diehard weebs.
Korean music is more relevant.

Owen Evans
School groups are only a american and japanese thing. We don't have those around here
Logan Anderson
The only music related clubs that we have are military style music bands, or whatever the hell these things are:

And symphonic student bands (or something like that:

By the way, what's a light music club?
what's light music? or what does it make it light? Is it a small light-weight sound system?
And idols, what is that?
Parker Cox
IIRC "light music" translates best as something like pop rock.
Cooper Reyes
It's funny that they don't get any shit for it. People already shit on manufactured music but government sponsored? That's the lowest of the low.
K-pop just rubs me so wrong and I'm not even a music snob. It just feels like the epitome of soulless art. I can appreciate if a song sounds good but even then I think most of K-pop is terrible anyway even though sometimes it's pretty high quality.
Benjamin Thomas
Ah, thanks for the answer.
Then, we don't have those. Some high school kids may have bands but not at the expenses of the school institutions they attend.
Levi Peterson
Implying that japan doesn't or at least didn't or attempted to.
Remember the gag that made a link between japan's government funding the yakuza by funding akb48 through "cool" japan.
Another thing is that japan hasn't been as successful at it as korea supposedly is.
Nicholas Gray
At least Cool Japan is a hot failure and famous artists and citizens are outspoken against it.
It is a direct response to shrinking influence and evening the playing field set by Korea.
Jason Sullivan
No, the concept of idols would never be popular.
Light music clubs are just regular bands i guess?
Parker Butler
Why does Yui look so off here?
Charles Phillips
France has a reputation for weebotry
Blake Powell
Yes, I noticed that.
I'm reading an article mentioning a Guy known as Gackt lashing out at that project. I also remember reading on sankaku complex some translations of comments posted on 2ch expressing their discomfort with cool japan
Ryan Barnes
Music clubs no, but a few people make their own small bands as hobbies. Idol groups not a chance. In Western countries (I doubt these are the equivalents of idols) but we look to celebrities (actors, musicians, etc) for drama and entertainment.
Hunter Miller
Yes, we had a club where 5 anime girls drank tea and sometimes played retarded music
Carson Phillips
They invited Babymetal a couple years ago for an interview asking how they achieved so much success abroad since Japan historically couldn't break in musically.

They are single-handedly doing their job for them. A lot of Japanese groups have been touring the US and Europe lately. Not just anime cons like usual, real concerts.
