Jazz: Japan

Pretty People: Korea
Sexy People: Japan

Soccer: Korea

Korean's win in my book: love the dramas... foood is great... women are beautiful.. japan is o.k. but yea definately would choose korea over japan in terms of entertainment
Reminiscence
Food: Unsure. I've never really eaten Korean food so no point in comparing. But.... I dislike sushi XD

Fashion: JAPAN! Babydoll is so cute. Besides, Japan is the fashion capital in the East.

Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japanese. Kickass graphics

Music: Korean! I love their music, especially in dramas.

Drama Serials: Japanese! I love jdramas more than kdramas because one, kdramas drag way too much, and two, jdramas make more sense XD

Enviroment: Japan. But this is based only in pictures, so still quite unsure. Unless I have a chance to visit both places, I guess I can't choose.
Alvis
Of course Japan.....japan is high-tech..besides,there are a lot of comics n anime....I like the seasons in japan too....especially winter ...i love snow! although many country have winter ,i still wish to go japan...
Naixius L
I prefer Japan.
I prefer Japan's food, cultural, music, weather, drama, anime ...... than Korea.
Japan is quite famous in the world. Since I am just a kid, I know where is Japan. I only know where is Korea when I am big. Japan is a beautiful nation. I like their language and it is high technology.
muraki-chan

but i do like japanese music... jrock anyone?... korean sounds too... how to say it... pop.. r 'n' b (is that how you say it?... -is living underneath a rock-... )
lovebum4life
JAPAN!!!! ALL THE WAY! Everything about Japan is so interesting. I love their music, food, fashion, and drama. It's what got me obssesed with the asian culture. I love Japan and I'm going to move there. As for Korea I only like two of their drama (Full House & Goong) and I don't really like their music. I only like Rain, se7en, and Shinwa. So Japan wins for me.

Michelle.
Food: Korea/Japan Why? Japan cuz I love sushi!!! XD
Fashion: Korea/Japan Why? Hmm... let's just say that they're pretty much the same... can't choose. =S
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Korea/Japan Why? Japan because the anime/cartoons look nicer!
Music: Korea/Japan Why? Korea because I know more Korea singers like SE7EN, Rain, Hyori Lee, etc.
Drama Serials: Korea/Japan Why? I like Korea dramas better because they are more sad and romantic lol.
Enviroment: Korea/Japan Why? I have no idea because I've never been to Korea or Japan.
Naixius L

Japanese are friendly and nice person.

Enviroment: Japan reason? japan's environment is so clean than Korea's because some koreans are spiiting and it such a bad habits for us humans , we better stop it and do something about it.
chocomarshie
Definitely Japa. I just simply love their culture, food, entertainment..everything.

Food: Japan, i love sushi and tiramisu!! lol.
Fashion: hm depends, they both have their own style. I'll go with Japan in terms of cosmetic stuff.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan! all those awesome popular animes I've seen back then.
Music: Japan. But Korea has better pop and hip hop music imo.
Drama Serials: Japan, their dramas are short, simple and meaningful where as Korean dramas are too long with similar storylines, typical sad love stories.
Enviroment: Dunno about the cleanliness of each country but I'll still prefer Japan, heard more places there than Korea.
biar
Food- hmmm 50 / 50

entertainment - Japan since koreans copies stuff from japan

00Kumiko
Food: Japan. More yummier. It's got more spicy dishes (I think).
Fashion: Japan. Some crazy things, but overall, I like more.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japan. Nah duh =___+"
Music: Japan. Less copying, more original, stronger voices, like the language more.
Drama Serials: Korea. S.Korea seems to focus on their dramas more.
Environment: No idea. But perhaps Japan because they're richer.
Dz_Daisy
Food: I like Japanese food better, because Korean food is either too sweet or too sour, so yeah
Fashion: I'm not too sure about fashion
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): definately Japan, doesn't almost all of the good animes come from Japan?!?!? I just love anime
Music: I actually love Korean music, don't really know why, but i think they sound better.
Drama Serials: Korean dramas are the BEST, they always got the best stories, especially the love ones, i always got so addicted to them when i start watching each series.. Dennis O is the Best
Enviroment: I don't know about the environment, because i havent been to any of them yet, but the truth is, i really wanted to go to both places for holiday some day, hoping to meet some good looking stars (Korean actors i mean), and Japan must be really nice..
Movies: I would have to say Japan, especially the scary ones..

iidreamibabyii

FinalReaper

baybiC_7
food: JAPAN b/c they have such good food and i truly JUST LOVE like sushi, tempura and so on....i love sushi so no matter what japan will be my fav.
fashion: i think i prefer Korea but i like both japan and koreas style, korea to me is like more elegance while japan is a mix of eveything, and stylish!
Animation: im not realli in anime, but i would say JAPAN
Music: KOREAN, even boa sings japanese shes korean and her style of music is diff. from the original japan ppl.....i luv korean music
DRAMA: KOREAN Dramas are the best
kawa!!ness
Food: Japan because I love sushi esp the raws

Fashion: Japan because I style much more better.

Animation (Anime/Cartoons): JAPAN ALL THE WAY cuz the way they draw the anime characters, manga characters are more look natural and even if they draw it it always for girls pretty and cute in anime and guys are good looking, hot and evils character always look evils.

Music: Japan because I love the way they speak there language and Japanese Singers have a stronger voice.

Drama Serials: Japan because there short and not draggy and has more meaning and sometimes its a true story.I love Japanese Horror Movies/Drama. Korean drama sometimes its too draggy and Korean dramas bored me

Enviroment: I haven't got a clue becuase I never went to korea or japan but if i pick I go to Japan cuz i always love the japanese culture on everything.

I personally favor Japan Cutlure I love everything bout Japanese and I find the Japanese Actors are cuter and Japanese Actress are cuter and prettier but doesn't mean I dont like Korea. The only thing I like in korean singers are their dancing movements.
dusty_mui
food i like both, both of them are very good!
music i can't relaly tell the two apart since the two languages song almost the same
anime, of course japan!!
drama i prefer jap drama, they are lot as slow, and put like every single detail into the drama.
fashion, don't really like either. If i realy have to chose i think jap since there's lots of cute stuff and the design and everything are very cool!!
mecano
Food: Japanese. I never have eaten Korean food but from what I saw on drama, documentaries and have read, KR food does seem less tasty than Japanese food to me. KR food seems like they have more broth/stews, food throw in one pot and cooked and of course that famous bibimbap which I have seen multiple times in KR dramas. I prefer to have my food seperate.
Fashion: Japanese. Also this is from watching dramas, tv shows and such. KR clothes are less "vibrant" and more "pastel" to me. And sometimes the clothes look very old fashioned.
Animation (Anime/Cartoons): Japanese of course. I don't think this should be in it, because Korea doesn't make so many anime as Japan.
Music: also Japan. I've tried to listen to Korean music and I only like those songs used in dramas. Hiphop/r&b seems to be the dominating genre in Korea and it happens to be the one genre I don't like. And also Japanese artists are better in general, singing, talent and originalitywise.
Drama Serials: also Japan. KR dramas are boring if you watch too much of it. 99% it's about love, love and love. They have an obsession with cancer too. Not that Japanese dramas don't have their own cliches but they have a more variaty with their dramas.
Enviroment: Japan. I've never been to both of the countries but what I've seen on tv I like Japan more. The landscape, the buildings are more beautiful then Korea, more colorful. Korea seems very plain with no style.
GirlWithUglyFeet
1) Food: Japanese, although I do like Korean food as well.

2) Fashion: I would have to say I prefer Korean fashion more, even though sometimes I do like Japan's funky styles. But sometimes their funkiness is too extreme for me and I prefer a more soft effect. However, overall, I like Hong Kong's fashion the best, it's a mix of funkiness and sophistication.

3) Envoirment: I never been to Korea before so I can't judge this.

4) Entertainment:
- Anime: Japanese of course because I haven't seen any Korean anime. But I'm not a big fan of Japanese anime anyways.

- Modern Series: I mostly watch Chinese dramas, although between Korean and Japanese, Korean wins the cake.

-Ancient Series: Again, Korean because 'Jewel In The Palace' was awesome. I also like Chinese Mainland series.

- Music: Korean I guess.
ytyl

beengoanngoan
Food: I have eaten a little bit of both and I like Japanese better, I'm learning to make sushi now ^^

Fashion: I think both! Korean fashion seems to be more feminine, but Japanese one is also impressive and cute.

Anime: definitely Japanese, I cannot count how many Japanese anime I have read.

Series: viva Korean!!! I have watched some Japanese series but they don't remain in my mind much, just Korean ^^
jwt89
Last year I took a course in Japanese and one in Korean to see which one I liked to continue learning it. What I found was Korean was so bland, boring, monotonous, but very easy to read and Japanese was a bit more annoying but elegant and cool to write. So definitely Japan. I have no idea where my Korean obsession came from, but I'm glad I made my choice.
Bu-chan
Food:
Nippon!! I love sushi, sake, sashimi, ramen, udon, miso soup....and all!! Personally i think Kimchi tastes gross and weird..sweat.gif

Fashion:
Nippon!! They're more fashion compare to Korean! And they're more open (what i mean is they don't find ppl who wears lolita and stuff weird. Those're just common for them.)

Anime:
Nippon for sure!! Nippon a.k.a the Kingdom of Anime and Manga!! I love Japan anime and they're definitely more impressive! If not there won't be tons of drama which are original from manga or anime right? Like Hana Yori Dango.. Kindaichi..Conan..Death Note..Princess Princess..Boku to Kanojo no XXX...and more!

Music:
Nippon!! laugh.gif All of my idols are from Japan, and i listen to Japanese and english songs most of the time and that's why i choose Nippon!

Drama:
Nippon!! Unlike Kdrama, they're more direct to the main point of the story and they're more funny!! YAY for My Boss My Hero, Nobuta, Hana Yori Dango!! Kdrama just too long-winded for me. I can barely stay awake watching to KDrama.

Environment:
Nippon!! I love their environment!! Its technology is advanced, and i'm hoping for bump into NewS and Ya-Ya-yah members or any JE guys when i go to Japan someday!! XDDD *fat hope* TT_TT And i would like to see tons of pretty girls walking in Japan's streets! XD Osaka i want to go for delicious food!! XDDDD Harajuku for shopping~

Nippon all the way!! Gambateh~Nippon~

Shoe.
food: japan
music: japan
dramas: japan
fashion: japan

Enough said. LOL.

Why Japan? Cos i can't live without it. Japanese music (ayumi hamasaki, namie amuro, arashi, kanjani8, news, x-japan, alice nine, v6, smap, nobuo uematsu, w-inds, flame, lead, speed, max, soooo many). Japanese food (SASHIMI!! my fav xD). Japanese consoles and games: ps1,ps2 o.O FF series etc. Japanese animations: Fushigi Yuugi, Dn Angel, Rozen Maiden, Galaxy Angel, Sister Princess, Initial D, Spiral ~suiri no kizuna~, tsubasa chronicles, gundam seed destiny sooo many. Japan fashion: J-punk style. xD.

Even though i also listen to korean music (i don't watch dramas except for horror movies though), i listen more of J than K. My J-pop craze started when i was in 4th grade, that makes it 8 years. When i first heard of Namie Amuro's Never End. Seemed like yesterday. lol. My Jap anime craze came around there.. when i was in 5th grade... making it 7 years. My J-rock fetish only came around this year. that's when i first heard of Alice Nine. xD Basically, my CD wardrobe's mostly Japanese albums. Korean...other than Rain (makes me wonder why i bought that album.. on impulse i guessed). BoA's concert tour i'm not sure whether to classify under K or J. cos i mostly listened to her Japanese version songs. so yeah. Not much M-pop. But mostly Jap.

lalala... so yeah. Jap or Korean?

xD
aniiexd
mm i've never seen any japanese drama but korean dramas are the BEST! japanese animes are also really good. it's hard to choose. mmm... i like korean food more and korean music more.. so i'll choose korean! biggrin.gif
