J-pop is a musical genre that entered the mainstream music of Japan in the 1990s. Modern J-pop has its roots in traditional Japanese music, but significantly in the pop, rock and bubblegum pop music of the 1960s, by artists such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys, which influenced the band Happy End to create a fusion of rock and Japanese music in the early 1970s. J-pop was further defined by new wave groups in the late 1970s, particularly the electronic synthpop band Yellow Magic Orchestra and the pop rock band Southern All Stars. Eventually, J-pop replaced “kayōkyoku” (a term for Japanese pop music from the 1920s to 1980s) in the country’s music scene. The term was coined by Japanese media to distinguish Japanese music from foreign music and today refers to most Japanese popular music.

J-pop is often stylized in capital letters as J-POP and, in Japan, just as “pop”; is a musical genre that entered Japan’s musical mainstream in the 1990s. Modern J-pop has its roots in traditional Japanese music, but significantly in 1960s pop, rock, and bubblegum pop music from artists such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys, who influenced the band Happy End to create a fusion between rock and Japanese music in the early 1970s. J-pop was further defined by new wave groups in the late 1970s, particularly the electronic synthpop band Yellow Magic Orchestra and the pop rock band Southern All Stars.
The origin of modern J-pop is said to be a type of Japanese-language rock inspired by artists such as The Beatles. Unlike the Japanese music genre called kayōkyoku, J-pop uses a special type of pronunciation, which is similar to English. One notable singer to do this is Keisuke Kuwata, who pronounced the Japanese word karada (“body”) as kyerada. Additionally, unlike Western music, the major second (G and A) was generally not used in Japanese music, except in art music, before rock became popular in Japan. When the Group Sounds genre, which was inspired by Western rock became popular, Japanese pop music adopted the second major, which was used in the closing sounds of the songs “I Want to Hold Your Hand” by the Beatles and (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. Although Japanese pop music changed from music based on the Japanese pentatonic scale and distorted tetrachord to more Western music over time, music that took from the traditional Japanese singing style remained popular (such as that of Ringo Shiina).
