\u30d5\u30eb\u30d5\u30eb<\/span> online Skype course. She learned about music in Brazil, and how the majority of people listen to the radio for music there. Politicians even make music to share their political platform!<\/p>\nI was surprised, and it made me realise that music doesn’t seem that common in Japan. In Canada, almost all stores have music playing. In Japan though, if there is music playing, it\u2019s usually \u2018fake\u2019 music. By that, I mean they play some simple covers of famous songs, or simply play the store\u2019s theme song.<\/p>\n
Similarly, I rarely hear music in public here. In Vancouver, we have \u2018buskers\u2019 around the city. A busker is someone who performs in a public area. So, we have buskers playing live music around town. That\u2019s uncommon in Japan, from my point of view. In addition, it just seems like people don\u2019t listen to music as much as back in Canada.<\/p>\n
I would love to be proven wrong though! I always like finding new music, so write to me and tell me about music in Japan: what\u2019s popular, where do people listen to it, and how do you make it?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been watching live performances nonstop on YouTube these days, and I\u2019ve also got my guitar going again. We had a fun little singalong at the end of my Yakushima Boot Camp, and it reminded me how much I like enjoying music with friends. I\u2019m a terrible singer, and my guitar skills are nothing to write home about, but there\u2019s something about music that brings people together.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever performed, it actually gives you the same feeling as a roller coaster<\/b>, or other exciting activity. When everyone can play along, and continue without mistakes, it\u2019s exciting<\/b>. My heart is actually pounding sometimes when I play a song well. While not exactly the same, I get the same excitement speaking Japanese. Speaking without mistakes is so satisfying, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n
Oh my! I\u2019m out of words already, but I\u2019ll finish this off next month! Until then, enjoy the music!<\/p>\n

Hey everyone! Nice to \u2018see\u2019 you all, and I hope you’re all staying dry this time of year. For the first time since my Boot Camp finished, I don\u2019t feel \u2018busy\u2019.
