It's been a long time since the global hip-hop movement arrived, but in Japan, freestyle has become entertainment through not only hip-hop music but also television programs, and rappers are increasingly being put in the spotlight. When unraveling the history of Japan and hip-hop, one topic that always comes up is the "Japanese rap debate" that "Japanese rap is uncool." Real Sound has planned a conversation between Shigeto Kawahara, an associate professor at the Institute of Language and Culture at Keio University, who has been discussing "Japanese rap" from a linguistic perspective in "Freestyle Linguistics," and Mummy-D of RHYMESTER, a leader in the Japanese hip-hop scene. From the perspectives of a scholar and an artist, they discussed themes such as "Is Japanese really not suitable for rap?", "The evolution of Japanese rap" and "Japanese rap as a linguistic art." 00:00 Opening 01:23 Is Japanese not suitable for rap? 13:09 The invention of the skill to compress Japanese19:14 Two representative styles of Japanese rap23:40 Linguist Shigeto Kawahara using Japanese rap as language arts education Twitter / phoneticskeio RHYMESTER Twitter / _rhymester_ Please subscribe to our channel ♪ https://bit.ly/RealSoundMusicChannelS...
