Why asian rhymes the way it does
Asian is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 104 matches, family rhymes 99, additive and subtractive together 253, assonance 8,379, and consonance 1412. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Asian works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
