Just like there is hip hop or Rock music all over the world. Do other countries sing "country" music?

Depends on how exactly do you define country music. Dictionary says... simple style of folk music heard mostly in the southern United States; usually played on stringed instruments. \n\nIf i assume country music to be equivalent of folk music then it is prevalent across every round and corner of this world.\n\nBut if you are talking about southern united state flavor then i doubt if its even heard outside of US.

Like other forms of popular music, country music is sectional - it is built into:\n\nVerses: the narrative part of the song, where you tell the song's story, introducing and then expanding on the people the song is talking about.\n\nRefrain: a kind of "bridge" between verse and chorus, where the song ties the "story" of the verse, with the "hook" of the chorus. More on the hook in the moment. The words of the refrain will change each time, but might poetically echo one another.\n\nChorus: this is where you use "the hook." Country relies on this more than other music forms. The hook consists of a catchy or memorable phrase designed to be the centerpiece of the song. The words of the chorus tend to be the same each time around. Think Dwight Yoakam's "Little Sister" or Alan Jackson's "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere."

Yes.  I miss country & western music.  The so called country music we have today is okay to listen to also, but it's more like what used to be considered pop music.....too many electric guitars....just not country like it used to be.  I wanna hear some steel guitars and fiddles!!  Have you ever heard the song "Murder on Music Row" by Alan Jackson and George Strait?  If not, you should listen to it or look up the lyrics, I think you'd like it.

Really, it's the same as here.  All of the major western record labels have Japanese branches, and these labels promote their artists and get them airplay on the radio.

They are re-recorded in English so that the songs can reach a bigger audience.  Think about it would you go and buy a cd ina language that you don't understand.  Buy doing this more people understand the music and can appreciate it more.  It's all just to make more money really.\n\nGuys also please remember that the world does not just consist of America, there are other countries too that speak english as their main language or even second.

I don't believe there is any difference to them at all.  I think it's whatever the fan feels comfortable calling it.  My Aunt calls it Country Western....but, my mom and I will say Country and we are all talking about the same thing.
