Best Japanese and Korean Instrumental Music for Fans of J-Pop and K-Pop

As the fifteenth post of the blog and having kept regular posts up for about a month now, I wanted to devote this post to discussing Japanese and Korean instrumentals that have had a profound impact on my music tastes. I hope you as J-Pop and K-Pop fans share the same or at least similar views. 


1. "Sakuya2" by Peritune- this is a beautiful niche track. I started listening to this track around the 2019-2020 era when I was still in community college. Though 2019 is not a long time ago, this track is very nostalgic for me because it reminds me of the time when I traveled to Japan for the first time. It reminds me of the end of my trip experiencing Kyoto's serene atmosphere (Sakuya2, Spotify, Peritune).


2."Sakuya3" by Peritune- another relaxing niche track by Peritune. This track, in my opinion, has heightened emotions in it compared to "Sakuya2" due to the instruments used (the addition of the shakuhachi and violin to Sakuya2 which only has the koto and flute)  and due to the tempo.  It over all has a very "Japanese" sound to it that I enjoy (Sakuya 3, Spotify, Peritune).


3. "Korean Cafe Music-Instrumental Rap" by Chillhop Cafe and Lofi Chillhop- it is a neat tune and it gives me feelings of what Seoul would be like to visit or live in. The part from 0:38 to the end was just purely a sublime musical experience. I highly recommend this tune for study music (Korean Cafe Music- Instrumental Rap, Spotify, Chillhop Cafe and Lofi Chillhop). 

4. "My Star" instrumental by "by me" (username of Spotify user)- a moving Korean instrumental piece. I just had to include it because it is a piano piece and I love the piano and I love having played the piano in high school. It is my favorite instrument tied with the guitar. It is magnificent to hear one of my favorite instruments combined with one of my favorite cultures (Korean) (My Star, Spotify, "by me").


Japanese and Korean instrumental tracks can be pleasant to listen to when taking a break. I hope you enjoyed listening to the tracks in this post.
