Why are there TWO different symbols for the same musical notes


Why are there TWO different symbols for the same musical notes?
One is ABCDEFG, the other is DO RE ME FA SO RA SHI DO. I've always learned the latter one throughout school in Japan, when I came to America, no one uses that, but ABC... why is this?

First off, it's do re me fa so LA TI do. For the record. Do re mi is more basic and used more for singing. Especially with the Sound of Music song being so popular, it's used to teach scales. ABC is used more for music, such as piano, clarinet, etc. There can be A sharp, A flat, etc.
