Today, I would like to talk about the music of Japan. There are various kinds of music in Japan, like gagaku, syoumyou, nagauta. Gagaku is one of the music of the court music. There are more than one thousands history. 

                  

Next, I would like to introduce the feature of Japanese music. There are four points for it. First, there isn’t any rhythm in Japanese music. To say easily, it is the music that can’t beat time with hands. It is different from the music of Europe that beating time with hands. Secondly, contrary to the Europe music that has regular chord, there isn’t any regular chord in Japanese music.


                   


 Thirdly, most of the Japanese music speed is slow at first, and become more and more quickly gradually, it also become slowly at the end of the music. Finally, because it has been important for Japanese people to use “word” from the ancient time, there had more music using “word” than the music only using instrument. 
 
. Korean music, along with arts, painting, and sculpture has been practiced since prehistoric times.





  Korean music history is divided into three Terran periods: ancient, medieval, and modern. The first period, or the ancient one, dates from the ancient tribal states to the foundation of Goryeo dynasty. The distinguishing characteristics of this period can be found in the development of akkamu (music, songs, and dance) comprising the kamu (singing and dancing) or angmu (music and dance) performed in the worship rites of heaven and earth of the ancient society, the introduction of some instruments from Central Asia during the Three Kingdoms period, and the development of hyangakki (indigenous instruments) in each of the Three Kingdoms.
  And Traditional Korean instruments can be broadly divided into three groups: string, wind and percussion instruments.
 The music of Iran has thousands of years of history.


   And Iran developed its own pop music by the 1950s, when Vigen introduced the Guitar for the first time and later on using indigenous instruments and forms and adding electric guitar and other imported characteristics. He became the most popular pop singer of this period for his unique voice. Later on in 1970's, Googoosh who was Vigen's student became popular.
   Rock music in Iran has been influenced by many traditional forms of Iranian music and popular rock bands

After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, pop music's future seemed dark because of the new Islamic laws and restrictions. Many Iranians migrated to foreign countries, especially Los Angeles in the United States.


The music of Turkey includes diverse elements ranging from Central Asian folk music to influences from Greek music, Ottoman music, Persian music, as well as references to more modern European and American popular music. 
  

  Turkey is a country on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and is a crossroad of cultures from across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and South and Central Asia. 

               
               

 
  

      
     There are many clubsacross Turkey, especially across its Aegean region. The alternative music scenehowever is derived mostly from Istanbul's thriving underground club scene thatsees DJs merging the past with the present, utilising sounds and electronic music. Mercan Dede is one of Turkey's most successful DJs, mixing trance with historical and mystic Sufi songs.
  Turkish hip hop or oriental hip hop is a creation of the Turkish migrant worker community in Germany, which some suggest was a suitable outlet for a young generation .
