    Early Japanese music was influenced by migrations from Korea, China, and other parts of Asia. The development of Japanese folk music began when the Chinese began migrating. The 1983 American film "Wild Style" helped introduce breakdancing and hip hop culture to Japan. It featured graffiti artists, MCs, and breakdancers and was promoted in Japanese department stores. Breakdancers began gathering in Yoyogi Park in Tokyo on Sundays to perform. Rapping was slower to catch on than breakdancing due to doubts that Japanese could accommodate its rhythms and stresses. However, the first Japanese rappers emerged in the late 1980s, using rap to convey messages or in commercials and anime theme
