The Reason Why You like Japanese music
0
I like it because it's simply (IMO) better then any English song, I find it that J-pop/core/rock/whatever sounds and is a lot more coherent then say our pop/rock/redneck trance, and to be quite honest our pop culture is just plain shitty and full of horse shit and lacks style.

There are very few songs from America that you could take out the vocal track and I could listen to it. Songs are based around vocal talents alone a good majority of the time. Then you listen to Kimi no Shirinai Monogatari and you realize the piano is being used as a primary instrument for the songs cohesive blend or you listen to Arrival of tears and hear a violin holding some parts together. I love music like that, you can feel so much more from the background then most of the songs you hear on the radio. The background music speaks volumes, nevermind the lyrics.
For some reason a lot of bands don't like to stray from the cookie cutter guitar, bass, drum and singer. The instruments that aren't predominant in most music here have a place in other countries music. Recently a lot of japanese songs have featured violins and piano, which is why I'm focusing on them right now.

There are very few songs from America that you could take out the vocal track and I could listen to it.To be perfectly honest, I've listened to several karaoke versions of JPop songs and your above statement would apply equally to them. There are, of course, cases where you could remove the vocals and have a fully featured song, as in your example, but so there are in western (not just American, please) music. For example, Queen and Rush of the classic rock era, Röyksopp, Interpol, and Metric of indie rock/electro, and pretty much any given progressive rock track. Downtempo and trip hop are also fairly non-dependent on their vocals.
Even still, I don't see how requiring the vocal track to be present is a negative feature. For a counter point, try listening to a JRock song and removing the lead guitar... sounds kind of empty now, doesn't it? As would happen with most western rock songs as well. For me, I much prefer judging a song by its totality than by its individual components. To use an oft over-abused term, in many songs there is a synergy between all the elements, creating a rich end-product that could very well fail without one component, but is fantastic with all of them present.

Please know a genre before attempting to belittle it with baseless pejoratives. Hip hop has a very rich history in black America, starting as a very socially progressive underground movement, fusing together elements of African-descendant musical elements with American ones, featuring rap, disc jockeying, and a strong counter-cultural attitude brought about by a feeling of oppression from said culture (racism, poverty, violence). What you are referring to is merely a recent mainstream effect, and this stereotype shouldn't be considered the norm.

I'm a big orchestral and pure music fan so that colors my views a lot more then some. I named those songs in particular because those are the songs I listen to that exhibit these properties best. A vocal track is generally not needed in music I listen to but if it's there it needs to be something that blends with the song well, not one that runs on it's own and seems like the background is tacked on. Well to point to what you said, the vocal track needs to be in itself an instrument to lend to the songs cohesion. However, if I can remove the vocal track and still find the song just as good, I will often listen to that version instead. I love the singer of Supercell's voice but I listen to the karaoke version instead now because I find the piano track more peaceful when I can focus on just the background.
Your band examples are good and you're right, many bands can offer tracks like this. I pointed to America because that's where I'm from and I find a lack of music I can listen to. I guess before I hear dissent from others I should say I can find some but the music generally works in waves with 100 bands sprouting up all sounding like successful band X. I guess in a way that's why I listen to many bands from other countries. It's different from what I hear every day so it at least seems new and intriguing. Trip hop in particular has engaged me recently. It's the kind of music I could sit back and listen to for hours.
You could say in the end I have an odd sense of music. I generally have to dissect songs and music because I love finding the smaller pieces that make up songs. I've found more Japanese music recently that has had a lot of small accompanying instruments I can focus on.

I like some Jap music for the same reason I like any music: It sounds good.So far, the best I've heard was "Gee" by girl's generation.

I found japanese music a few months after I had seriously started watching anime and grew to love it. I really don't know why I love it but hey I know what I like. I don't really know whats being said and people ask me everyday and criticize me everyday for liking music in a language I can't understand. I think a ton of people have forgotten there are other parts to music other than the lyrics and those parts are the parts I usually love although the lyrics even though I can't understand them do sound really cool. Never let anyone judge your taste in music. I like M.o.v.e which made a lot of the songs for Initial D, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, YUI, Nico Touches the Wall, Nami Tamaki, T.M Revolution, Nami Tamaki and whoever wrote any of the songs to One Piece. I currently have about 161 different japanese songs on my Itouch mostly from various anime I have seen.

I don't really have a reason for liking Japanese music specifically. I just happen to like a lot of music that comes from Japan. I love music from all over the world and I find often that the country of origin is irrelevant when it comes to quality. This is of course different when it comes to pop music, but that is entirely different.
My favourite Japanese musicians/bands are Anoice, Special Others, World's End Girlfriend, BOat, Mono, Toe and Sigh. I don't listen to a whole lot of anime music but I like to mix it in every now and then. I definitely prefer Japanese pop music to American pop music.
http://japshare.wordpress.com/ is a great blog for Japanese music. You're not very likely to find much anime music on here as it's typically more experimental, obscure Japanese music, but there was recently some Boom Boom Satellites posted for all you Xam'd fans.

I'm always game for some experimental music, and given the first I saw there was post-punk, I think I'll be pleased when I give it a listen. I also can't pass up Chinese post-rock!
