Japan

Women in their teens and twenties split fairly evenly between K-pop and anisong, while younger men polarize between Japanese hip-hop and visual-kei rock. Middle-aged listeners stay with long-career mainstream artists like Arashi, Masaharu Fukuyama and Kenshi Yonezu, plus enka and kayokyoku as karaoke staples. Big cities have absorbed more K-pop and Western pop — Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter in particular — while smaller cities and rural areas remain even more domestic-leaning. City pop's overseas revival is still mostly a foreign phenomenon rather than something the Japanese chart reflects.
