There is also an inherent research in British and American pop, but it is immediately apparent that it is supported by an incongruously accurate, faithful, and robust rhythm.I'll Stand by You with a flowing melody, but it's on top of the rhythm.Cold Heart (Elton and Dua) and bad guy (Billie Eilish).There is no such rhythm in Japanese pop music.

The Pretenders I'll Stand by You put more emphasis on melody than rhythm.But English and American sounds do not run only in melodies.the structure is always guarded.What's the difference?It's all about individualism and collective cohesion.There is no such thing in Japan.There is no horizontal solidarity in Japan.Therefore, it is only the tuning of a disordered set of pieces.The rhythm of society without unity downplays.

For example, let's take Miyamoto Hiroji, MISHA, AI.All of the songs of the singer are accompanied by the rhythm, but more emphasis is placed on the flow of the melody.You can compare it to the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Nirvana, Olivia Rodrigo.Dylan has a slightly different element.It is his unique wanderlust.

In the special program of the TV before someone said that the rhythm in Western music makes the person who plays it a slave, but it is strange to say.In music in Europe and the United States, I pay close attention to how to take the rhythm, and I tilt my passion there strangely.Billie Eilish's bad guy rhythm clearly hints at the Beatles' Two of Us.It is a rhythm-oriented song.

It is the rhythm that is immediately understood even when listening to the Rolling Stones songs.The training of how to take the rhythm beyond the difference of the genre such as rock and rap is very thorough.Indeed, fluctuation was a modern classic and was adopted by European composers.But Bach's other counterpoint and other rhythms are oddly faithful.

Whether it's Stravinsky's or Karl Orff's, it's easy to see that the rhythm structure is very robust.There is no such thing in Japanese music.So, for example, if you listen to Shostakovich's second waltz and get drunk with its flow, the robustness of the rhythm behind it supports it.That's not what Japanese music does.

Japanese people draw and play music just as they have learned.So probably almost all Western musicians have their own melodies and rhythms in their mind and body.That's why Odaka's melody is beautiful, but when compared to Western music, sentimentality comes first.So Japanese people give priority to sentimentality over structure.

In extreme terms, Bach, Stravinsky, the Beatles and Billie Eilish are connected in a straight line order.That's the emphasis on rhythm.It is because there is a rhythm that melodies and flows live.Was there ever a rhythm-oriented musician in Japan with such a core?wasn't it just Akira Ifukube?is there anyone else?

Let's talk about drums.The genius drummers all have a sense of accumulation of atoms of small notes, even if it is a leisurely rhythm.Like Jeff Pokaro of TOTO Africa and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven.Sound is emitted in a layered structure of the whole sound.That training is not enough for Japanese musicians.

Faure's Siciliano is a flowing melody, and nuanced sounds of nostalgia for the hometown of the lost, which is also common with Dylan.But if you listen carefully, you can see that the rhythm is still firmly incorporated into the dynamic melodic swell.That's the defining element of music.Rhythm is not something to be learned or taught.

I don't know if the percussion sounds in the background of Billie singing bad guy's lyrics are played by a drummer or by a synthesizer.But compare the subtle overlapping parts of the beat with the decrescendo of the Beatles' Two of Us, especially in the end,the same celtic blood is connected in a row.

I've been thinking about why Japanese people don't have a sense of rhythm in the last few years.Conclusion.There is no such rhythm in Japanese.In Japan, which is a vertical society, the Japanese language is a school that speaks with respect according to the position of the other party, so it is difficult to express actions suitable for expressing self-will.That is a big difference from Western refraction words.There is no rhythm and strength.In Japan, modesty to older ones and society around musicians must wipe out structure from their tunes.

The Japanese do not have a spiritually worn custom to discuss and protest, but a custom to the group and the individual.And Europe and the United States are not.The difference is clearly shown in the sound.I can clearly hear something that is frank and reserved even in the way of making the sound of music.Is it the difference between the commonality of having a subject and the sensibility of having a subject with a tendency to refrain as a virtue?

Japanese songs are the sound of the flow of lines and sorrow, the reverence for transience and the resignation.South Korea is more resentful, but it is so that it is linear.It is undeniable that BTS songs were written in the United States because composer and lyricist were British.China is not so free under the current system, but as with Japan and South Korea, it is a resounding investigation and a line-by-line tone.
