Shortcuts to Acquire English Speech Sensibility
The best way to improve your business English skills is to acquire a sense of the English language. Therefore, this time, I will explain effective practice methods under the title of "Let's sing English karaoke!" If you can sing English songs, you can perform it as a hidden art at a banquet with foreigners, and it can also be used as a bargaining strategy, so it's exactly two birds with one stone. It's a must-see. Let's forget about studying for a while and have fun!
Let's search for English songs!
TOP OF THE WORLD
The first is "Top of the world" by The Carpenters. The melody is slow and the lyrics are simple, so I think it's a standard practice song for beginners.
The video I would like to introduce this time is MrMoonligtt's "Top of the world [with Japanese translation and English lyrics] Carpenters". Thank you for your wonderful video. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for this opportunity.
CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU
The next song I would like to introduce is Boys town gang's "CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU". This song was covered and sung by Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE, so I think everyone is familiar with it. Recommended as a practice song for those who start karaoke. The melody is slow and the lyrics are simple, so this is also a standard practice song for beginners.
The video I'm introducing this time is "Kimi no Hitomi ni Koishiteru/Boys town gang (with lyrics)" by norikatsu320(#3). Thank you for your wonderful video. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for this opportunity.
I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU
And next is QUEEN's "I Was Born to Love You". This song is one of the famous songs in Japan, such as being used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama "Pride" (broadcast in 2004) starring Takuya Kimura. It may be a little more difficult than the two songs introduced above, but it's rhythmic and easy to sing, so it's recommended for practice.
The video I would like to introduce this time is "[Japanese translation] I Was Born to Love You - Queen" by Western Music Japanese Translation Channel. Thank you for your wonderful video. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for this opportunity.
How to Practice
- First, listen carefully to the melody. Even if it is a song in your native language, you can't sing a song that you don't know the melody at all, so you may be worried about the English lyrics, but please listen to it a few times to check the melody.
- Next is the grasp of the English lyrics. Some Japanese people read English in the style of reading Japanese katakana, but if you follow this habit, you will not acquire the sense of English. The best way to improve your English is to imitate what native singers sing.
- Some English karaoke has katakana ruby, but if you rely on reading katakana, you won't be able to acquire the sense of English, so please practice only by looking at English. If you enjoy reading katakana, you won't improve your English, so I don't recommend it.
- As you know, English differs from Japanese in that each word or phrase is pronounced with a stress, and this is the same when singing. If you don't get out of the habit of singing flat without stress like Japanese, you won't be able to acquire the feeling of English.
- You may want to practice with karaoke videos without lyrics, but if you are working on it as part of your English study, I recommend watching videos with lyrics and practicing singing along. In short, if you practice with the intention of imitating the words, you will acquire the sense of the words in a short period of time.
Enjoy Karaoke
Practice singing with videos with lyrics, and when you can sing a little, you want to do karaoke too. Many famous songs are available in karaoke version on the website, so we will introduce the karaoke version for the three songs introduced this time.
