British Sound

Japanese people often use the word 洋楽(yogaku) to mean western popular music however, someone use the word to mean that it is not Japanese music like K-pop. So if person who is an acquaintance likes Yogaku but that may not mean they like western music(these person usually like k-pop). I'm confused as you can see. That is how Japanese people are not interested in western popular music. However, there are people who like western music. These people mostly like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, One Direction. I think they just like faces of these artists based on my experience(they didn't know The Weeknd !!!). oh I don't want to write about this topic! These people don't know where artists are from.

Note: I cannot analyze this topic properly. ↓

I think it's different between US music sounds and UK music sounds(I'm very sorry that I have never listened to songs not in English or Japanese). US music sounds has many diversity(currently hip hop, folk or EDM style?) on the contrary, I don't know genres which is written recently in UK but there is feature that is not found in US. I know Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Kodaline(Irish), Myles Smith, they are similar but why? It's not their accent, because I cannot understand the difference between American accent and British accent. I realised lately that I couldn't find American songs which is written recently guitar sound, probably It's reason of difference. Guitar sounds makes me feel British sound it's sure. Furthermore, maybe, American singing style is longer than British for example from I will always love you by Whitney Houston "and aaaaaaaaaaaa". I have no idea British songs that is like these styles.

Japanese people often use the word 洋楽 (yogaku) to mean Western popular music. However, some people use the word to refer to any non-Japanese music, including K-pop. So, if someone says they like “yogaku,” it doesn’t necessarily mean they like Western music—they might actually be referring to K-pop. This can be confusing.

It seems to me that Japanese people, in general, are not very interested in Western popular music. But there are some people who do like it. These people often gravitate toward artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, or One Direction. Based on my experience, though, I feel like they mainly like these artists for their looks, as they often don’t know much about their music (for example, they didn’t even know who The Weeknd was!). Some of them don’t even know where these artists are from.

Now, about the differences between US and UK music: I think there’s a clear distinction between the two sounds. (I should mention that I’ve never listened to songs in languages other than English or Japanese, so my perspective is limited.)

US music currently seems to be very diverse, with genres like hip-hop, folk, and EDM being popular. On the other hand, I’m not entirely sure about the newest trends in UK music, but there’s something unique about it that sets it apart from US music. For example, artists like Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Kodaline (who are Irish), and Myles Smith have a similar vibe. I don’t think it’s just their accents (since I personally can’t always tell the difference between American and British accents), but maybe it’s something in their sound.

I’ve noticed that it’s hard to find recent American songs that prominently feature guitar sounds. This might be one of the reasons why British music feels distinct—it often has a strong guitar presence, which I associate with a “British sound.”

Also, maybe it’s just me, but it feels like American singers tend to hold their notes longer compared to British singers. For example, in “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston, she sings, “and aaaaaaaaaaaa.” I can’t think of any British songs with a similar singing style.

Finally, I cannot write over 400 words every day, so I gave up. New goal is writing over 200 words. Thank you!
