🎶 Music: J-Pop, Virtual Idols & TikTok

2021 saw the continued rise of virtual artists and streaming-first hits.

  • BTS (global, but huge in Japan) and YOASOBI (J-pop duo) dominated charts. YOASOBI’s “Monster” and “Gunjou” were everywhere.
  • Ado – the masked Utaite (singer) exploded with “Usseewa,” a rebellious anthem for Gen Z, hitting #1 on Billboard Japan Hot 100 despite no physical release.
  • Virtual idols: Hololive’s VTubers (like Gawr Gura and Houshou Marine) held massive online concerts. HoloLive 2nd fes. drew hundreds of thousands of paid viewers globally.
  • TikTok hits: Songs like “Cry Baby” (Official HIGE DANdism) trended via dance challenges. Platform-driven virality bypassed traditional radio.
