honestly with (literally) contemporary pop culture I can see this, but until there is a ninja and samurai equivalent, or american music mentions Seoul the way it mentions Tokyo (i.e., in random places) we still have a long way to go
J-Pop never really hit mainstream outside of Japan. Only anime fans and other Japanophiles listened to it. I don’t think they really marketed it either FWIW.
In fact outside of console games, Japan kept its pop culture pretty insular until not too long ago. Anime fans in the past used to have to put so much effort into getting content unlike today, and Japan could have cared less because they were just catering to domestic consumption.
No, both fields are different. And I think Japanese animation’s popularity will last longer than K-pop’s popularity. However, there is a good thing about K-pop and K-drama’s popularity. Ten years ago, when there was a controversy over Korean Japanese history, white Weaboo men criticized Korea. I am just grateful that K-pop i-fans beat up the mouths of white men who claim to be honorable Japanese.
