Maybe the syllabic nature of the language? Also, verses in japanese music seldom rhyme because apparently rhyming is so fucking easy in japanese that they don't even bother doing it. They also seem to put more emphasis in melody, but their beats lack in comparison.

Obsessing over the Tin Pan Alley composers.
Japanese melody has historically stressed syllabic patterns over rhymes.

Be honest here, all Japanese music is an imitation of what was going on in America or the UK

It only feels that way because you're a socially awkward introvert who as a result doesn't relate to their surroundings, so you have a taste that allows you to escape from all that. For some kids that's dad rock or alternative rock. These days it's increasingly become japanese music and even korean music.

The fact that you're a raging weeaboo.
Protip fag, the only reason the West fetishizes Japan so much is due to the fact that they are the only developed non-white nation to not be colonized and therefore don't have a history of negative narratives pushed by those in power (read Orientalism for more on this)

>missing the point of orientalism by this much
It's about the fact that european artists saw the countries in "the Orient" as less civilized, wholly barbaric, and most importantly as more in-touch with their sexual desires (literally fetishizing them). As a species today, we are no longer obsessed with the idea of a foreign land where your concubines are waiting to suck your dick for a penny, and we recognize japan as, if anything, sexually deprived and forced to take out their desires in the form of over-sexualized cartoons

I mainly listen to 80's shit, cause I fell hard for the vaporwave meme but quickly transitioned to listening to the original music.
I think a lot of it is a focus on tight structure and chord progression. There's a lot less melody leading in a lot of it. I think western perspectives tend to have the melody come first and foremost, and the rest of the music is made to prop it up. Meanwhile a lot of the 80's shit I listen to that isn't a cover of a western song has very deep chords, and it's like the chord progression is dictating the melody. The chord progression is more a floor for the melody to be built on rather than just bare support beams for it, if that makes any sense.

The point I was making is that Orientalism shows how narratives were pushed against nations that were colonized, specifically in the middle east. Japan was never colonized or faced any form of advanced imperialism so it never had those narratives around it. That's why it's fetishized so much. It doesnt have a long history of negative narratives about it as many places that were victims of colonialism do. So that's why it's fetishized so much. And yeah they are sexually deprived and weird but most people don't seem to think aobut it, I feel like there is a lot of fetishization around Japan and I think it's a direct result of ithe fact that it never had these negative narratives pushed against it.

Japanese also incorporate a lot of other european influences and latin america.
When people claim that "all japanese music copies the west" it just sounds like an empty phrase that gets parroted.
It's almost as if musicians get influenced by others or something.
That said, op is just baiting.

Because of the Major Sixth interval and the feeling of the blues or whatever it was that Adam Neely's friend said in that one video

Music is honestly the only thing america goes toe to toe with nipland in. 90's American indie rock is the greatest music ever made.
