Although the music business in the rest of the world has shifted towards downloads and streaming, Japan is just now catching up with this trend, but over-all the compact disc is still king. Japan is the second largest recorded music industry in the world, behind the United States. Japan’s domestically recorded music makes up a majority of this market, but Japanese consumers are also known for enjoying Western and other music such as K-pop as well. Japanese artists often fuse traditional and western music to create hybrid styles such as J-pop and some modern variations of Enka.
