Because of Hallyu Wave, KPOP is known around the world, invading Asian countries and even popular in United States and Europe. JPOP's and J-Rock's spotlights have dimmed in past few years due to the popularity of KPOP.

J-Rock band SCANDAL commented "Japan still has a lot of good music" and Japanese artists are embarking to spread their music outside their country. SCANDAL is back and had two gigs in Singapore, and recently, boy group Hey! Say! JUMP went to Thailand to promote their upcoming concert in the country.

During the interview, Tomomi said "KPOP is known around the world and we hope Japanese music will be the same and be recognized by other countries as well." and was asked if they also listen to KPOP to which Haruna nodded and revealed "I do. In fact, I like SHINee." She then revealed that she likes SHINee's maknae Taemin.
