Question

What about you?How about you?Between these two sentences, there are what difference?
Sorry, my mother tongue is Japanese.

Answer

there is no difference between them.

Answer

Ahh. I'm sorry, it looks like a mess and I can't change it anymore.

Answer

There isn't a big difference. However, I found something:

The Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary definition of 'what about ?' states that this collocation is
used to suggest something: What about Lola - shall we invite her? What about taking a few days off?
In other words, 'What about you?' seems to be a short form for 'What about you - are you fine/pretty good/doing well too?'

The dictionary definition of 'how about ?' is practically identical, except that the collocation is described as informal:
INFORMAL used to make a suggestion: How about the cinema tonight? How about going to the cinema?

(Not sure if you want to know about very advanced stuff already ^_^)

Answer

Thank you so much.
Your explanation is easy to understand!

Answer

Konichiwa,Tritt^-^There's a difference in usage between them though both of them may be used to mention a suggestion or ask for an idea/opinion:
-"How about you?" makes more sense about one's feeling/thoughts/level/health/...etc
Examples:1,I really like this concert.How about you?    
2,How are you?-I'm fine,thanks.How about you?...
-"what about you?" makes more sense about an action or thing(s),business,..etc.   
Examples:1,I did already my homeworks.What abut you?    
2,I bought a new laptop in the supermarket yesterday.What about you?What did you buy?   
~~~~Anyway,these are used in daily speaking english .Feel free to use^-^
