Lovely K-pop

A J-POP song highly popular in South Korea [with a Korean-language cover too!]

Japanese music is gaining attention among younger generations in Korea.

Of course anime plays a role, but in recent years the influence of social media has helped people enjoy music from all over the world, regardless of country.

Through things like dance collaborations between idols and programs such as the “Japan-Korea Top Ten Show,” we can feel the growing exchange between Japanese and Korean artists, as well as the spread of J-pop and Showa-era pop.

For a long time, sales of Japanese records were restricted in Korea, but now it’s great to see them becoming popular and spreading thanks to various influences.

Let’s all enjoy the J-pop that’s so popular in Korea!

Digimon Adventure is hugely popular in Japan, both the anime and its music.

When it comes to its most iconic song, it has to be Koji Wada’s “Butter-Fly.” Released in 1999, this track served as Digimon’s theme song for many years.

Set to an energetic melody, the lyrics express the belief that no matter how small you may feel now, as long as you have the determination to give it your all, you’ll be alright.

Digimon is also extremely popular in Korea! While many different theme songs are played there, this song is a massively popular anime tune known by people all around the world.
