Japanese Power Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Japan in the late 1980s. It is characterized by its fast-paced, melodic sound, often featuring high-pitched vocals and heavy guitar riffs. The genre is heavily influenced by traditional Japanese music, as well as European power metal bands such as Helloween and Stratovarius. Japanese Power Metal bands often incorporate elements of traditional Japanese music, such as taiko drums, shamisen, and koto, into their sound. The genre is also known for its use of fantasy and science fiction themes in its lyrics and artwork.
