Japan has been often referred to as the second largest national market in popular music business, only after USA. This market has unique aspects in many ways, but the most distinct character is its domestic orientation.
While some Asian nations share interests in Japanese popular music for certain degrees, Japanese musicians may hardly be known in the Western world. Language barrier is the largest factor to explain the situation, but it might not be the only reason.
Though almost all musical elements in modern Japanese popular music are originated in the Western world, they are domesticated or re-organized to produce something quite different from the original Western counterparts.
Taking cases from the history of popular music in 20th century Japan, some typical acclimatizing processes of Western music elements will be explained.
