NB: The following doesn't apply to all Asian boy band songs.

1. It's pop, maybe slightly hip hop or electronica
2. There's a rap section
3. Before or after the rap section there is a 'breakdown' bit where there is just music and no lyrics. In the MV/PV this is where the members of the boy band show off their 'tricks'
4. The MV/PV is set in a studio where they dance and there is also a plot going on, normally involving a girl
5. And there /has/ to be some English words in the song, or else it's just not cool

And another thing, basically all boy bands are currently expanding to other Asian countries and are re-recording their songs, mostly in Japanese.

I know I'm a total bitch for saying this, but just because you've watched one Japanese drama, it does not make you an expert on them or Japanese people. And not all orange hair people look like Ituka Toma, especially not Simon.
