【海外の反応】「知らないはずの景色が見えるのよ...」今世界で日本の昭和popsが旋風を巻き起こしている理由に世界が驚愕

At the end of 2020, a classic Showa-era song shook the world. Miki Matsubara's "Mayonaka no Door ~stay with me~"— More than 40 years after its release, this song topped Spotify's global viral chart for 18 consecutive days. Many people around the world had the experience of thinking, "Is this a new artist?" and then being astonished to learn it was a 1979 song. Angela, a singer-songwriter from Manchester, England, was one of them. Having been constantly stripped down to be "catchier" and "simpler," and nearly losing her own music, she encountered Showa-era city pop, traveled to Japan, and, through conversations with a music producer, arrived at a new realization. The aesthetic of not excluding the sounds of nature, the philosophy of "ma" (space/interval) that doesn't fear silence, and the immersive feeling created by lyrics without subjects—the sensibilities that Japanese music has preserved for hundreds of years quietly unfrozen something within a singer, transcending time. --- This channel delivers daily videos about Japanese culture that's currently trending around the world, and the reactions of people from other countries.
