For this blog, I watched a Japanese music video of the song "Lemon" by Kenshi Yonezu on YouTube. This song became extremely popular in Japan and internationally, known for its melancholic melody and deep emotional lyrics . Even though I didn’t fully understand all the lyrics, I could feel the strong emotions in Yonezu's voice. His singing style is very unique, blending pop with a touch of sadness. The music video is simple yet visually striking , with a soft color palette and artistic shots that enhance the song’s melancholic theme. I also noticed how Japanese pronunciation and intonation flowed smoothly, making the song sound very poetic Through this video, I got to experience more of the Japanese language’s natural rhythm and sound , as well as a glimpse into how Japanese music expresses emotions differently from Western songs . Overall, I really enjoyed this experience and would love to explore more Japanese songs in the future!
