Wordy Lyrics

23/April/2025 in Tokyo

These days

I listen to several songs by contemporary Japanese singers

Their music is very catchy & easy to listen to


The first thing I noticed was

their lyrics were quite wordy

Seemed like

they were singing nonstop

Many words packed into each phrase


A quick Google search revealed

I wasn’t alone in this observation — apparently, the word count in Japanese pop songs has been steadily rising
