This post from Universal Records Philippines is causing a war between Kpop fans and Jpop fans in Facebook. I just happen to see this when my sister is using the computer.

CAN J-POP REPLICATE THE SUCCESS OF K-POP?

Though South Korea has developed a reputation for high-quality electronics and competitively-branded cars on a par with their

While I see no reason for this to become an argument, it is those arguments that make it difficult at times to be a normal fan, you know

You're welcome Jamie. :D I really wanted to share this to everyone in LJ because their fight is really bothering me. You know what I mean. This kind of arguments should never happen because we all have our own opinions regarding certain topics. And if someone wants Kpop more than Jpop, then let it be. Everyone of us have the right to choose who we think is better. But I think Kpop and Jpop are just the same. It doesn't matter which one is better because it's all about music. The only difference is that Kpop is clearly extending their reach to other countries. But that shouldn't also be an issue. Because all of the Jpop fangirls have been in the fandom for years, I pretty sure they're already used to how difficult it is for us to find and download stuffs related to JE especially.

Its a bother because its a petty and childish squabble with no purpose. That one is better than the other in this case is opinion. Nothing more. Preferences are not fact...Preferences are personal tastes. Marketing wise yes, it seems that the Korean Pop Music industry is doing it right. Therefore they are better able to help ensure opportunties for continued success for their artist. But that has nothing to do with the music or how good it is compared to other countries...

And yeah we are used to how difficult it is, and to have to hide our efforts to share with each other for fear of losing it all is sad.. it feels like some underground pirate radio stuff you know? :) And I'm glad you shared.. just do like I do though honestly and think of all of that pettyness like sibling fighting over a toy.. soooner or later it will annoy you but you will just start to roll your eyes and ignore it for the most part.. and you can always vent here or to me or whatever anytime you like <3

Yeah, they're fighting for a very simple thing and I also think that it's really childish. I don't want to be involved in it, but I can't help to give my reaction. Not for the issue itself but for what's happening because of it. I really hate this kind of feeling. Thanks Jamie for being there for me. :D *hugs*
