I agree but you're on a weeaboo imageboard where grorious nipple can do no wrong and where they think anime is a respectable artform and not masturbation fuel for preteens.

If Japanese musicians can be considered to be devoid of talent, then I don't even want to know about backwater countries like Qatar, Iraq, Mexico or Finland.

1. Midori is a great band
2. No country churning out that much good math rock, pop, shoegaze, enka, folk, and pretty much any other genre within (or outside of) the musical canon can be devoid of musical talent.
>>
>>60735898
It depends on the anime, Japan make a lot more adult orientated cartoons then the west do. Although we have stuff like Bojack Horseman and South Park that isn't for children.

Watching the kid ones like Bleach or Avatar is bullshit though.

You are correct in that Japan has no musical talent. However, they're also a country that is really good at demonstrating that you don't need any musical talent to make good music:

so what caused Japan's richness in musical talent, /mu/? I've heard someone claim it may have been caused by western influence following WWII, thoughts on this? Or has Japan always been rich in terms of artistic expression? I enjoy traditional Japanese music, architecture, etc but was there anything that sparked their modern-day musical progression?

The only country with more people than Japan that I'd really consider first world with regards to it's development and living standards is the US.

Tokyo is by far the most populated metropolitan area on the planet.

Rivaled the US for the amount of money going into the music industry fairly recently.

People willing to pay significantly more money for music.

Really though, how the fuck can people say that Japan makes nothing of value? The more commercial pop acts are bad but there are plenty of significant, talented artists, and they have a wonderful scene when it comes to experimental rock. I feel like if you're willing to really look beyond J-Pop, they have more interesting stuff to offer than pretty much any country outside of the US and UK.

It's a culture thing, I'm guessing. For some reason (and this should apply to Japan too to some extent), holding onto traditional music in some way, shape or form boxes a lot of musicians in into a certain cultural style.

I'm Afrikaans from South Africa, and until about 2010, all we had was generic Techno/Sokkie kind of music. It fell in line with traditional Afrikaans bullshit, but with a new scene full of young people doing shit and internationalising the market, it slowly got better. Now we have normal music too.
