Today, I would like to talk about music of the East and West Asia.


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.






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. 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.
