or: why japanese electronic music is so different from western electronic music despite having the same origins
i replied to a post @vespidazed made a day or two ago asking for people to infodump about music to them, just mentioning this stuff. they were apparently very interested in hearing about it. i started writing this up as a discord DM but very very quickly both ran into the character limit and realized maybe other people would want to see this, so i put it here instead. the formatting might be a bit awkward as a result, but i THINK this should still look ok!!
