J-Core

J-Core is a genre of Japanese electronic music that originated in the early 2000s. It is characterized by its fast-paced, hard-hitting beats and its heavy use of samples from classic Japanese video game and anime soundtracks. It is often considered to be a subgenre of hardcore techno, and is closely related to genres such as happy hardcore, makina, and speedcore. J-Core is often associated with the Japanese rave scene, and is popular among both Japanese and international fans of electronic music.
