JpopAsia was founded on December 14, 2006. The need for a source where you can easily discover and listen to music that is popular in Japan, was the reason to start this project. The Japanese music market is the second largest in the world and we think that too few take this really serious. We do. And that's why we keep improving JpopAsia to make this the best J-Pop resource available on the internet.
Our intention is to spread this awesome music because we love J-Pop and Japan. We have no intention to infringe copyright of the respective owners. All we want is to promote Japanese music outside Japan. It's really hard to find and discover new Japanese music because of the language barrier and availability. We think we can fill this missing link in providing romaji titles and promotional videos. We are against acquiring this music in illegal ways through P2P and download sites. We love J-Pop and so the artists.
JpopAsia is therefore a promotional tool to easily discover new artists and genres. The place where you can express your true fan feelings to your favorite artists. The place to bring all these people together who love Japanese music. And the place to make new awesome worldwide friends. Our vision is that you don't buy music you have never heard of. You can't become fan of an artist you don't know. And you buy less music when you know less artists.
Our social community network lets you easily connect with new people. It's as simple as it is, there are more ways that lead to Rome. We have dozens of ways to meet new people, to fit your own preference of approaching and connecting with people who share the same interests. Giving our deared members an opportunity to express their fan feelings to artists and even members, along with organized promotional videos and a unique social community network, this can only be marked as the beginning of the Social J-Pop Revolution.
