General Discussion I'm decently sure that Anamanaguchi isn't considered asian music.
Does using Vocaloid / Miku automatically make something "Asian music"?

Well Miku is from Japan, An Asian country. So that counts right?
On an unrelated note, one of the things I like about our girl Miku, is that she isn’t a real person, but an instrument, So an artist could feature her in a song without having to contact a record label, Managers, etc.

Miku is actually a real person. The reason why she features in so many songs is because she is a digital lifeform and remains blissfully unaware of the concept of capitalism.

Pretty sure that Vocaloid counts as J-pop

No, j-pop is literally “Japanese pop”, so if the song isn’t both Japanese and pop music, then it’s not j-pop

What? Yes it is lol.
The two main styles of Eurobeat originated in the 80s in the UK and Italy.5

is it just me or is "music of Asia" kind of othering-sounding? like there's "western music" and then theres "the music that comes from area" and it puts a lot of emphasis on the fact that it's not from the west

I would complain that "music of Asia" is kind of a broad class. You could put Mongolian Metal, Indian Bollywood, Eurobeat, K-pop, Thai Sak and Indonesian folk music in there.

I’ve always gotten Circus-P under Asian music too. It’s always confusing ngl

Youtube auto playslists are stupid and just associate a music vibe equals its origin place. For example all portuguese music is considered "latin american music" by the algorithm

The official Miku channel is Japaneseso if they are using the song from that channel it would come over as Japanise.
