Food: Japan, I really like their food especially teppan yaki and sushi! *dies* But that doesn't mean I don't like Korean food. But I only eat it once in...2 years. Really expensive, no fake lol. Their pancakes are delicious O_O!
Fashion: Japan, their clothes are LOVE LOVE LOVE! I love Japanese fashion overall lol.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan, though... Koreans do work with Japanese on Bleach and Naruto. But everytime when a Korean is involved with drawings and director... The episodes seems to be way below the anime standard quality of the show ._.;;
Music: Both, they both have their own style. Koreans tend to be more Americanized, which I like. Korea represents 'American' music now. The US industry sucks now, what the Koreans are doing now, is what US now should be : /
And Japan, well... Their music is overall... HAPPY JOY JOY xD Nevertheless, I like it. Though.. I'm sad they have such cheap dance moves lol.
Drama Serials: JAPAN! HOMG.. i seriously despise KDrama for it's draggy story. Love tri-angle... square or whtvr... they just won't come to the point in 16-20 damn episodes T__T
Jdrama is short, sweet, not draggy and better produced. Yup yup.. I always enjoy watching Jdrama's, at least they have variations =/ Unlike the Koreans. Never saw them doing a sportsdrama... cookingdrama or detectivedrama etc. It's always love-die situations that gives me one huge BANG X_x Ugh...
Environment: Korea. Japans seems to be so.. strict in everything! Suicide rate there is so huge O_o;;;
Overall, Japan.

I love japanese food especially sashimi (grossing out people who can't eat raw fish) but I haven't really tried much Korean food to judge which I like more. I do like kimchi though..
For fashion, I think Japan is totally obsessed with it. You rarely see people casual on tv, it's all about fashion baby...
For music, I used to like Japanese laid music with thought provoking lyrics but not sadly too much boyband songs are at the top of the charts, sadly. I prefer Korean music, there's something about it that touches me so.
For drama, I think Korean dramas are better at weepy and over the top evil vs good characters. For funny, happy and touching I'd go for J-doramas myself and they're much shorter than K-dramas.

Food: Japan because I love sushi, sashimi and ramen!! I haven't tried much Korean food though, only the BBQ thing which is nice but I'm not a big fan of spicy food so I guess I have to pick Japanese!!
Fashion: Although Japan is known for their fashion, I find it a bit too extreme, so my vote goes to Korea where they have a more 'chic' image.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): This one is too obvious!! I don't think there are many people who would pick Korea over Japan. I don't watch many Japan produce so many good ones and it's one of the things that Japan is well known for.
Music: I like both but recently I've been listening to more K-pop, but that doesn't mean I like it better. I can't decide!!
Drama Serials: I'm a K-drama addict!! Maybe because I like the whole melodramatic plots and love stories. Though I can't really compare because I've only seen a few old J-dramas, but as for now definately Korea!!
Enviroment: I haven't been to both so I can't really say but I'd love to visit them someday, only Japan is really expensive.
Overall, I think I like Korean culture more than Japanese, but only by a little!

Firstly, i'm not a fan of Korean (my sister is). I happen to be a big fan of Japanese though... and here are my reasons:
Food: Both I love trying new food from all over the world.
Fashion: Japan it's a little more rock like (that's my STYLE).
Animation: Japan!
Music: Japan! I love Japanese music. There are so many different people and different genres, and that is what keeps making me love it. Korean, I feel is very POP. I know that they have different genres but the big one is POP. Those tend to focus on clubs and parties which isn't cute. I'd asked my sister that (she loves korea, the whole, everything) and she couldn't tell me anything. Then i would say some of people aren't even old enough to be in a club or at a bar and yet their video is based on that. Funny I thought (STUPID! it makes no sense).
Drama Serials: Both. i don't watch korean dramas, but like 3, and they are good. Good plot but very dragging. sometimes its okay but not all of them should be. Japanese dramas are short and to the point, i wished that it'd be a little longer. Both are good to watch once in a while.
Enviroment: Both. I love seeing different parts of the world. Its a great experience!

Food: Korea. KIMCHI ALL THE FLIPPING WAY +D but then agian i like udon as well... :S but i liek kimbap mroe than sushi...(i hate sushi) so Korea.
Fashion: Korea. I'm not into Japan's outragoeus/funky fashion. They're boring too :S Korea's fashion seems more interesting.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Well of course Japan. I hve no intention in seeing a Korean cartoon show o_o;
Music: K-POP!!! Defiantely. It flows mor ein my opinion...more unique soudns too? But K-pop is a little americanzied.
Drama Serials: Korea. Japanese drama sosunds boring to me =_=
Enviroment: Err...Would i want to lvie in a country that gets earthquakes a lot? :S I unno...
But yes, Korea wins for me =)

Food: Korea...never liked sushi...Bi-Bim-Bop, Gal-Bi and Bul-Dak are some of my favorite dishes.
Fashion: Japan...
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): 100% Japan rules this category...they are the pioneers of the anime world
Music: I find myself enjoying while listening to Korean music even though I don't understand a single word
Drama Serials: For me it's a tie....KDramas are good however most of the times the story dragged in the middle part of the series, too many conversations...on the other hand J-Dramas are fast-paced compared to KDramas...it's a tie
Enviroment: They both have the same environment......this is hard hmmmm I think I'd pick Korea

Jun 30 2007 6 47 AM
food: love sushi
music: both....love jrock..love kpop...love jrap..and love krap
drama: JAPAN..they have better themes....kdramas are too cliche and looonnnggg..kdramas are kinda unrealistic and it focuses on love too much!!! jdoramas themes are much better...they have family, love, and sports dramas!!! there's more variety!!! and they are much shorter and get to the point..not dragggyyyy
Fashion: hmmm i like korean peacoats..but i feel japanese fashion is more influential..so Japan
therefore: Japan

Environment: Again Japan. it looks very lively, though I'll give Korea a visit anyday.
Overall? Japan. But you wouldn't find me saying this two years ago...times have changed. haha.

Nov 28 2007 7 18 AM
Food: love both Japanese and Korean food, but I like Korean food a little better (go Korean BBQ!)
Fashion: Korea, Japanese styles are kinda weird
Animation: I hate animation so I don't know much
Music: Korea (better ballad singers)
Drama: K-drama are becoming too repetitive now, all the new interesting dramas are being ignored which is pretty sad like Que Sera Sera. This drama is actually very well done but didn't have good results because the genre is a little new. However, overall I still prefer K-drama more.
Environment: I prefer both, but since I live in the big city I prefer more nature and natural scenes from Japan. Korea is becoming too much of a metropoly like the US.

Food:
Well, my favourite food is sushi, and when I think of sushi, I think of Japan.
But that'll be a kinda biased answer since it's only basing my response on one type of food.
Thing is, i LOVE food. So honestly, the foods in Japan and Korea both float my boat.
Fashion:
Japan is a little too over-styled for me. I mean, it's too dramatic, and definitely not something I would wear on a normal daily basis. On the other hand, I wouldn't go full out Korea-style either, but if I really had to choose one, I'd pick Korea.
Music:
Both, really. Some of my favourite songs are Korean, and Japanese, because of the meaningful lyrics & wonderful melody.
Drama Serials:
Okay. This one is a hard one. So I'm going to say both again. Why?
Korean dramas have wonderful actors/actresses that portray their roles well, but the dramas tend to drag, but good chemistry is usually present.
Japanese dramas have exceptionally good actors/actresses that can also portray their roles well. J-Dramas are usually short, and fast-paced. But sometimes, I feel that it's so fast-paced, that the leads don't have enough chemistry.
Therefore, both.
Enviroment:
Honestly, I want to visit both places so very very badly.
From what I've heard though, Japan's environment is extremely clean and everything is well organized.

Food: Japan
-i love seafood(either raw or cooked), and i don't like spicy food
Fashion: Japan
-come on, most of the girls are copying the japan cute style/fashion, and boys are into visual-kei style... so you can see japan fashion is spreading massively.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan
-need i say more
P/S you're a dumbass, if you don't choose Japan(no offense)
Music: Japan
-korea songs are too slow, and i found out most of them are the remake of western songs
Drama Serials: Japan
-not too sad, and too boring
Enviroment: Japan
-the four seasons there are breathtaking
JAPAN is my second home~
Food: I like Japanese food more, but then again i think i've had jap 100x more times than korean (okay so i've had korean only once >:])
Fashion: Japan just because i think the Korean fashion is too heavily influenced by USA
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan hands down.. o__o (is there korean animations?)
Music: Both for me.. my fave. boyband group is KATTUN and i like listening to the japanese language more.. but i have a lot of favourite korean boyband groups too (DBSK and FT-Island come 2nd and 3rd for me)
Drama Serials: Japan.. i just got too sick of Korean series since i feel that they drag on alot and also get boring sometimes and recycle drama plots far too much ~ whereas i feel there's more variety with Japanese dramas and they're generally more fast paced. And i like Japanese boys more (perve on them lol)
Enviroment: Korea.. just because i keep hearing about how japan is quite *dirty* in the sense that there's alot of pollution and the air is not as good ~ plus everyone in japan smokes and i cannot take smoking D:

Dec 6 2007 9 25 PM
Food: Because sushi and ramen are 2 of my favorite foods, I vote for Japan.
Fashion: Japan...this may sound silly, but apart from Japanese fashion, I don't know the others...I've seen the dress sense of Asian people, but I grew up here in Australia and I'm just not sure which fashion sense is which country's, it confuses me

the reason why I'm familiar with Japanese fashion is because I read an awful lot of Japanese fashion/beauty magazines, so I generally know their fashion sense...but I'm not familiar with all the others, that includes Korea...so my vote for this is probably bias. But, I'd just like to mention that even if I learn about all the different fashions from different countries, I'll probably still pick Japan overall because I've seen all the other fashions just by looking at the fashion sense of many Asians I come across, and I think Japan's fashion is still the most appealing out of all; Japanese fashion for females are generally very fancy and beautiful, while males is very cool and funky...and no offense, but I find some of the other countries' fashion sense quite "ugly"...so Japan again for me.
Animation: Japan hands down! Does Korea even have their own animations? I'm not sure...but Japanese animes are obviously very dominating, I've really enjoyed watching animes since I was really young.
Music: Because I'm very much into Japanese ent now, I listen to more j-pop than k-pop, so again my vote goes to Japan.
Drama / series: Japan, hands down! I'm really not into Korean series to be honest, I've watched some of them but all of them I thought were only just mediocre. I've noticed that Korean series are really repetitive when it comes to storylines, and it can become quite boring to watch because the story tends to be too cliched and predictable, not to mention they sometimes just drags on too long, and it seems they are always revolved around the concept of love, and sometimes Korean series tend to go around in circles before they actually get to the point. But jdoramas (Japanese series) in comparison are much shorter, sweeter and have a much broader range of different genres, and they tend to get straight to the point...but, if you are used to watching korean & chinese series, then you might feel that jdoramas are a bit rushed because they are much shorter, however, if you pay enough attention to the story, then you would understand it almost instantly. Even though Korean actors do tend to act better than some Japanese actors, but when it comes to the series itself, I much prefer jdoramas.
Environment: I don't know this one, because I've never been to either countries...but I honestly am more keen on visiting Japan more than Korea though.
Overall:
Japan

Before saying my opinion, I'm sure that I'm not fair and Im more onto Korea, because since I'm learning korean... And I tends to mix with koreans more... ><
Food: When watching korean dramas, you guys always saw them eating pots and pots of things, and BBQ right? To me those pots foods are a little extreme for me! Too salty! But some are really good spicy soups! woohoo! Those BBQ are really as good when you watch it in dramas..! But, I does love sushi a lot! Tasty! But, I'm quite scare of eating shashimi, really scary..! But, korean foods are more to chinese, so i can accept it more easily..! ^^
Fashion: Sorry to Japan fashions lovers, I know that Japan clothings are really cute and interesting..! But, in my country, peoples mixed it up into rubbish! I'm so scare of seeing them wearing, long black stockings.. and using bra strip to buckle on the hip! oh my! >< But, for korea fashions, i like those more to artistic, free casual clothings.. Doesnt like their cute clothings.. Will get bored of it..!
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Obviously Japan, although I seldom watch anime, but I does watch some.. And their anime is quite good, but sometimes got nude scenes.. scary..! ><
Music: Defenitly Korea! Maybe the genres of Japan songs doesnt really suits me.. To me, japanese is more to electronic (I think because mostly are anime's theme songs)~ I'm not sure whether japanese sings well or not.. But, I like korean songs, because mostly of them have really good vocals! Really good..! And I does love ballads, and singer like Lyn and Tim are really good ballads singer! ^^
Drama Serials: Japan dramas sometimes are too short, until i cant catch the meaning of the whole story.. Like they're rushing, or wanted to cut down the film usage..! Korean dramas sometimes are really draggy, but dont know why, I'm easily to fall in love on those actors and actress.. ><
Enviroment: I think both are mostly the same! ^^

Dec 17 2007 8 51 PM
food: both.
drama:i prefer japan..japanese dramas are more meaningful, like one liter of tears.
korean dramas have the same story line, rich guys or girls, fall in love with poors guys and girls, then at the end the main character got some kind of cancer and died.
its ok to watch korean drama at the beginning, but i got tired of watching the same story line over and over again.
fashion: both.
music: korean, XD. since i havent listen to any jap. music.so..
*bluebutterfly*
Dec 24 2007 12 38 PM
Food: BothHavent tried enough of both to judge! But I#m more interested in trying more Korean foods.
Fashion: KoreaI like it more because it's casual. And they're pretty too! So are Japanese clothes but they can get a bit over the top sometimes.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): JapanDont know any Korean anime or cartoons I dont think.
Music: KoreaI know more Korean singer and bands than Japanese. They can dance and sing and act, most of them. They have good voices and now there are younger groups around my age like 15 onwards and that makes me like them more! Lol And when I listen to Korean songs, they get stuck in my head for longer and just love the song more than I would Japanese songs, because they have as well known singers so I dont really know any. And Korean songs have meaningful lyrics!
Drama Series: KoreaI havent watched any Japanese series, and I just think nothing can beat a Korean drama!! They're the best!! Lol

I just cant stop watching them if I start. They all get boring sometimes but I still like them and the ones with too many boring parts in I just dont watch them again.
Environment: hhmm...I dont know. I havent visited the countries yet! So just say both for now!
Overall: KOREA!!!

geez how bias is that? saying korean dramas are the best when you haven't even watched a single japanese drama...but, what can i say? ppl ain't always fair *shrugs*
mine:
food: japan, love sushi!
fashion: both
animation: japan obviously
music: japan, love j-pop; more my taste...j-rock also good...don't like k-pop.
drama: japan definitely! like it has been mentioned many times before, japanese dramas have a much wider range of different genres & themes, they're much shorter so they don't drag, alot of the times, they're different so there aren't as many cliches in their storylines so there's alot of surprises...j-dramas have more originality, overall they're simply just much more interesting.
i used to watch alot of korean dramas in the past, but now i've just completely lost interest in them, they've become so repetitive and predictable, it's boring to watch them...just too many cliches, and all the ones i've watched recently were only just mediocre, nothing special at all...honestly, i can't really be bothered with korean dramas anymore...so yeah, japanese drama for me definitely!
environment: dunno since i've never been to other countries
overall: JAPAN!

Fashion: Korea - Japanese Street fashion is kinda too extreme for me. I find Koreans really stylish - I love the fobby clothes ^^ My current fashion idols lol
Music: Korea - I like both Jpop and Kpop, but I've really grown to love Kpop... it's like my neverending obsession. I haven't been attracted to Jstars as I have to Korean gassoos ^^
Drama Serials: ? - I can't choose! ^^; I haven't watched like... loads of K/Jdramas... I've watched My Girl and 1 Litre of Tears and I loved them both... so I can't really decide atm

Food: Japan cuz i love sushi, ramen n takoyaki!
Fashion: Japan..even though i do agree it's sometimes abit too ott, but it's their OWN style...on the other hand, i wouldn't refer the "Korean fashion" as it is cuz they adapt too much from the west, so it's not completely their "own" fashion.
Animation: Japan! DUH!
Music: Japan...j-pop is more my style...some ppl think that korean singers have better vocals, but i beg 2 differ, i don't c japanese singers any worse than the koreans, in my opinion, they r just as good, n japanese singers have more unique voices, while korean singers r just plain ordinary it just depends on personal preference. Japan also has their own style of music, they only occasionally "borrow" (I won't say "copy") styles from others, but it just seems like korea in comparison is ALWAYS borrowing styles from the americans, i've heard songs from many different Korean singers, n their songs r ALWAYS similar to those America/western singers, there's just NO originality in Korean music...a lot of ppl complain that Taiwan singers "copy" the Koreans, but u know what? The Koreans r NO better cuz they always copy the Americans...Japan's much better cuz they have their own style of music, they have more originality.
Dramas: Japan...my reasons have already been repeated many times b4, so I won't repeat them again...n i find Japanese actors WAY more appealing n better-looking! no offense but i find the vast majority of korean actors ugly n unattractive! there's only a small handful of korean actors who i think r actually good-looking, while the rest r just blah...but that's just me...
Environment: dunno…
Overall:
Japan! 
They just have more originality overall; I mean, they have their own style of music n dramas, animation, fashion n culture…unlike other countries, Japan r not as easily influenced by other cultures, they always stay true to their own culture n styles. Unlike Korea n Taiwan where ppl r so easily influenced by foreign styles n culture that it seems they no longer have any originality at all...i mean, korean entertainment n fashion r heavily adapted from the west, while Taiwan r heavily influenced by Japan n Korea.

Korean foods? I don't think I've tried them before so this might me biased. But sushi & ramen = LOVE.
Fashion: Japan.
I've always wondered what it would be like to wear their school uniforms, they look so cute. Overall fashion, they're quite a big industry.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan
Korea comes out with cartoons? Well I guess anime's a well known under Japan and I have a few favourites.
Music: Undecided
I listen to alot of asian music so I really can't decide, they both have their pros and cons.
Drama Serials: JDramas
I find KDramas to typical, well the ones my mum watches anyways.
Environment: Undecided.
I have never been to any of them before. But I wouldn't mind going to Japan for the shopping!

Fashion: Japan. Seriously, their uniform has always been my dream. Never gonna come true, I MEAN I WOULD BUY THEIR UNIFORM and could wear it out. It's so freaking cute! Korea's dress sense is like normal ? haha Japan is out their and has what you call originality.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan Korea can make good PC games, I'll give you that. But Anime, everybody knows DragonBall Z, Pokemon. HAHAH. I am an anime freak so Im biased.
Music: Japan haha I grew out of the Japanese and Korean Music Industry a long long time ago. The music was bugging me, (except for FTTS) but when I heard UVERworld (haha I like Jrock, some of it anyway) I love their songs. Their style is cool too. But I will say, Korea has talent, and is probably tied with Japan when it comes to really judging their music industry. Or it could even beat Japan with the nowaday likes of DBSK and Super Junior and Big Bang and whoever else you can name. But Korean music is not my style. So yeah. But I say, there are some very good dancers there =) Everyone says it's heavily influenced by American style. So what, well if only Americans may have created it, but everyone copies. that's how you get a Music Ind in the first place. No copying or sharing of ideas. Your career is a big DUD.
Drama Serials: JDramas Kdramas are heart wrenching, for like the first series. Then when it comes to the second one, after 20mins. you're like, AGAIN? Another Amnesia? Another I MUST LEAVE YOU BECUASE I AM DYING. Another "both characters trying to find each but never do even though theyre two inches away"? I mean sure, yes every drama has that not just Kdramas, but they take the cake for overkill! AND why do they have to drag it out for so long for. I mean how long is the third guy gonna like her for? Be constantly sweet to her and then turn into some nasty jealous evil scheming guy is like, A BIG CHANGE OF CHARACTER!
JDramas are straight to the point, FAST PACE and funny. Even when it's supposed to be serious, they have seriously weird but cute cold jokes.
Environment: Dont live there or ever been there so wouldnt have a clue.
I really wanna go to both though!
Overall - Im biased but Japan. But I like Korea too! Just not their music, or their artist's fan for that that matter.

my vote goes for JAPAN
i dont really like KOREA stuff, drama kinda boring, movies... not that awesome. the artists? too many boybands, which is junk talent
although i'm a huge fan of RAIN (coz he has this universality sense about him n his works), but i've never seen Rain like other typical korean artist, he's too big to be compared with most artists in Korea though.
i love Rain a lot but not Korea
and i adore Japan, so Japan has won my attention

No comment for food since I've never tried any. LOL.
Fashion: Korea
Well, I find Japanese fashion a little WOAH :/ . Not all, a few. Whereas I actually like alot of Korean fashions.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan
Definitely Japan. Gosh, Japan's the king of animations <3
Music: Korea
I like J-Music but I'm more into K-Music. (:
Drama Serials: Japan
Japanese dramas are more entertaining to watch? I dunno. It depends. Some korean dramas tend to be a little draggy IMO.
No comment on Environment either. I so wanna try visiting Korea & Japan. sigh.

i go for japan. the japan language for japan is more easy to understand than korea. i once like korea too but when i start to watch japan drama and songs, i think japan is much more better. the language is also more 'polite'.
but for people, i do think that korean are more beautiful and handsome. do doubt. i always stunned when look at korean. they're just beautiful. man or woman, the same. their skin also very fair. just for voice, japanese smoother.

Food: Japan. I haven't tried a lot of Korean food yet but I like how many Japanese dishes are tasty and healthy. I want to try more Korean food!
Fashion: Both. I adore Korean beanies and sweaters. But for cosmetics, Japan's the winner.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan. Who doesn't know Japanese anime?
Music: Hm, this is hard. Both countries have good singers.
Drama Serials: Japan, hands down. As popular as they are, Kdramas have failed to capture my attention. It's been like this for about two years now. Japanese dramas, on the other hand, tend to focus on more subjects and they're more realistic. I'm sick of Kdramas and their romance plots.
Enviroment: Can't say. I haven't been there.

Food: Japan, blame Arashi no bangumis for that..LMAO
Music: Japan, i love it on how there's so many music artists, and most of the songs are really good
Drama: Japan, because even though they're short, most of the plots are really interesting and not boring
Fashion: Japan, basically i adore boots and scarfs
Environment: both
winner is of course JAPAN..

Food: for japan: i love teriyaki and tempura so much.... and their sushi is also good..
for korea: i love their sushi and their potato noodles that tastes like kimchi.
but i still prefer japanese food... there's a greater variety in palate....
Music: umm i actually dont care much about the music.... i like korean music... i dont know i just find japanese music kind of weird.
Drama: japan.... the mangas man! they're a winner.
Fashion: harajuku!!!!
Environment: love'm both!
and japan won here too!

FOOD: hmm... hard to choose since i'm not familiar with both foods but i go for korea since i really can't stand sushi.
MUSIC: Kpop 100%. i love korean songs so much. i can't stand Jpop esoecially female singers since they tend to have that squeaky voice, i find that quite annoying. there are some nice ones though...
DRAMA: Korean drama definitely. it has the x- factor that can keep me glued to watch it till the end. i love goong, fullhouse, winter's sonata, i hate you but it's fine and many more... as for japanese drama, i'm not too sure since i can't bring myself to finish watching one... they have nice mangas but unfortunately, it's drama adaptation is not to my taste. surprisingly, taiwan drama which are adapted from mangas are nicer. think like It Started With a Kiss and They KIss Again which were adapted from Itazura na kiss.
Fashion: harajuku is nice and there i love korean fashion too but here's the downside to both. i think japanese fashion style adapted from mangas are plain weird and korean fashion can be too revealing, watch music bank and you can see some singers wearing really exposing outfit you can notice their underwear.
environment: love both but i choose korea since i feel koreans are more friendly than japanese
VERDICT: KOrea won haha!!!

I like both? -frowns- Hard choice.
Food: Japan. I LOVE SUSHI!

Japan's food! Most definitely. Its healtheir, nicer, and its very refreshing too! For fashion, I'd take Japan, but only cause I adore the Harajuku doll style. Music, Japanese definitely. I'm in love with how Japanese sings all sorts of bubblegum pop songs. Drama, both, cause I like the diverse Jap dramas, but I like how deep Korean dramas goes too!.

Food: I'd have to say Japan and Korea! Japan sushi and katsu is really nice. They got varieties of food too, like sashimi, udon and donburi. Korean foods are really nice too ! Ramen, Bulgogi. OMG XD I can't choose seriously XD
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): for Anime, I'd choose Japan. Everybody knows that Anime comes from Manga and it's from Japan, so it's kinda obvious.
Music: BOTH XD Their music style are unique, but really different style. :]
Drama Serials : Korea! Their dramas are really good and popular esp after I watched BOF<33
Enviroment: Japan. I guess Japan's environment is cleaner and nicer? idk much though XD
soo. my conclusion iss. I love BOTH and I can't choose. They both are just 2 of 3 countries that I wanna visit really badly >.<
