Jpop is a lot more hook-driven, and catchy, rather than driven on creating diaphram-enduced notes.
Have you noticed the sonic differences from Japanese and Western music? A lot of vocalists in Japan sing with a more nasal resonance, where as in the west, GENERALLY, its more from the belly.
actually this is not just limited to singing I think. When learning Japanese, or a Japanese learning English they have to learn new breathing techniques. What you said above is absolutely correct.
I'd love to be a jpop star. I actually sing better in japanese than in english too! Weird, but it's true. I can even do that high-pitched, anime girl voice. I'm not japanese either. But I guess japanese people wouldn't mind hearing from somebody not japanese try to sing in japanese lol. They're very nice and courteous people y'know.
oooooiiiii~ i would just love it!! i would love being a Jrocker!!! american Jrocker! well....i huess i wouldn't really be called..a JJJJJJJJJrocker ne more huh.lol.but i would sing in japanese.and wear costumes and makeup..same thing huh.lol.well.i also sing better in japanese than english.and i sing pretty good....some people say i sing almost like Kyo,with a girls voice of corse.lol
Aww really?
It really sucks though because I don't have any clips to give you.
Not really familiar with how to do it :?
But once I do get a chance to record it somehow, I'll make sure to pass it to you!
hmm.. as i cant speak japanese, im wondering if it'll be good to sing purely in english.. but musicwise, play j-rock. would it be a good idea to do so?
