About 40 years before,it is thought that Japanese singing pop music in Japanese language is not cool since pop music,rock was made with English language.
Many rock'lyrics was written in English.

So Japanese artists discussed if they can sing pop music in Japanese.
1only japanse lyrics
eiichi ohtaki in 1970.Still popular style.

2sing japanese lyrics with English style
Keisuke Kuwata was BIG impact.
Mr.children is the successor.

3mix Japanese and Engrish in the lyrics.
tons of artists

4smooth Japanse and English
Hikaru Utada and more

5only Engrish or English
Mainly,hard rock band


I don't like meaningless Engrish.
At least,they should use meaningful Engrish.
