It is even a question? Tokyo is the world class top metropolis, richer and culturally more influential than Seoul and Taipei combined
Luke Foster
Taipei, only because it's the only answer that won't devolve into a gook-nip autistic showdown.
Easton Kelly
ever been to taipei recently? it already looks like a miserable backwater compared to the mainland. everyone looks terrified of being left behind by mainlanders. outdated infrastructure, no opportunity. misery abound

I like Seoul the best out of the three because it's the one that's growing the most rapidly and has lots of new interesting things to offer. also the people are less cold than Tokyo and it's easier to have fun. the only problem I had was that the music scene there is a bit shit compared to Japan.
smells like a Zhangpost but it's unironically true. it's a shame what happened to Taiwan, it really is declining. I remember looking at job offers in Taipei when I was moving to Asia and the salaries were pathetic compared to the other "Asian tigers".

If by "basically Tokyo" you mean "way past its prime" then yes. Otherwise no, Tokyo is a much more interesting place. Taiwan has this cool SEA / third world feel about it (in a good way) while the people are very friendly and civilised unlike mainland China or the rest of SEA. But Taipei and Taiwan in general don't really compare to the other big Asian cities any more.

By "basically tokyo" i meant it just looks like a smaller tokyo with more chinese influence. Also if it's past its prime, when was it's prime?

i like music, could you elaborate on this?

Shanghai desu
Hudson Moore
Maybe I worded that a bit too strongly, it's just that Tokyo has one of the absolute best music scenes in the world so it's hard to compete. Seoul is trying but honestly if you like live bands and bars with good music then Tokyo has so much more of them than Seoul.
Jeremiah Nguyen
Japan has tons of live venues and shows playing all kinds of music for all kinds of tastes.
Korea has a shallower music scene by far, although I've never personally been there so I'm only talking from Youtube. I've heard it has better clubs than Japan but I'm not a big fan of electronic music so haven't looked at it that much.

William Richard Carles, English diplomat, "Life in Corea (1888)"
>"A Japanese house can never fail to be possessed of some attractiveness, but the Corean huts were wretched hovels of mud thatched with straw, which contained some portion of the filth. (pp. 16-17)"
Arnold Henry Savage Landor, English explorer, "Corea or Cho-sen: The Land of the Morning Calm (1895)"
>"The attractions of Seoul, as a city, are few. Beyond the poverty of the buildings and the filth of the streets, I do not know of much else of any great interest to the casual globe-trotter, who, it must be said, very seldom thinks it advisable to venture as far as that. No, there is nothing beautiful to be seen in Seoul. (p. 52)"
William Elliot Griffis, American orientalist, "Corea the Hermit Nation (1905)"
>"Korean architecture cannot approach in magnificence those of Japan. (p. 262)"
Lillias H. Underwood, American missionary, "Fifteen Years among the Top-Knots or Life in Korea (1904)"
>"The Korean inn is second only in filth, closeness, bad odors and discomfort to those in the interior of China. (p.39)"
George W. Gilmore, American theologian, "Korea from Its Capital: With a Chapter on Missions (1892)"
>"So an Englishman was once heard to say that the dirtiest man he ever saw was a clean Korean. The impression the speaker meant to convey was that Koreans are the dirtiest people on earth. (p. 92)"
Herbert Hoover, 31st POTUS, “Freedom Betrayed (1963)”
>"During 35 years of Japanese control, the life of the Korean people was revolutionized. Beginning with this most unpromising human material, the Japanese established order, built harbors, railways, roads and communications, good public buildings, and greatly improved housing. (p.737)"

Einstein on Japan:
“Japanese unostentatious, decent, altogether very appealing.”
“Pure souls as nowhere else among people. One has to love and admire this country.”
Einstein on China/Korea:
“A peculiar herd-like nation…[an] industrious, filthy, obtuse people… often more like automatons than people. Even the children are spiritless and look obtuse.”
“I noticed how little difference there is between men and women; I don’t understand what kind of fatal attraction Chinese and Korean women possess which enthrals [sic] the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring.”
“It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”
David Morgan

Tokyo
Because Korea is the Lidl of Japan and I don't know what is Taipei.
Easton Parker
So that is why their government is so agressive, they need to deflect their incompetence.
Well, better buy american military planes I guess.
