Music POP groups were very famous in western countries in the 1990s and early 21 century. During this time, lots of very good pop groups appeared, such as backstreets boys, N Sync, Blue, the spice girls and so on. However, when the time has been entring the 21 century, the western pop groups have lost their power and influence. Also during this time, the pop group music style has began one of the most famous music style in Asian.

Japanese POP groups:

SMAP is the most successful pop group in Japan even in the whole of Asian. It has set up for more than 16 years. This song is very famous and important for the japanese; some people told me that every japanese people will sing this song. The song is for the Japanese nation flower, sakura (Oriental cherry).

AKB48, a girls pop group, may be the biggest pop group in the world, because this pop group has three small groups and total 48 people. It is also very famous in Japan.

Japan is the first country in Asain where the music pop group has became popular. However, Korea may be the country which bring the music pop group going to a top position.

Korean pop group:

The Korean pop groups' MV have two feature; one is dancing; another is story.

There are so many pop groups in Korea nowadays, and there groups play lots of different type of music.

China? Chinese people like music POP groups very much, both of western groups and Japanese and Korean groups. However, there is not any very successful local pop group in China now. I do not know why. China has lots of successful individual singers, but the groups are worst than individuals. Maybe like football, Chinese people are better to do some jobs alone.
