What sets J-Pop singing apart

J-pop is Japanese popular music, including the anime theme songs that carry much of it abroad. Its melodies are often fast, wide-leaping and dense with syllables, so agility and clean register shifts matter as much as the top note.

Where K-Pop divides a song among idol-group members by vocal role, the J-pop profiles here are mostly solo singers carrying the whole line.
