On the 14/10/2020 (Wed) broadcast of the bayfm radio program “Tonight, Under Sakura’s Tree” (every Wednesday from 24:00 to 24:30).
Sakura Miyawaki: Recently, what have I been doing? I’ve started composing again, so I’m thinking about what kind of songs I should write, or looking for songs that I think are good.
As expected, since I started composing, I’ve started listening to a lot of Western music. That (pronounced well) POP SONG, POP SONG (laughs)
You say POP, right? In Japanese.
You say POP SONG, right? But in Korean English, it’s (pronounced well) POP SONG. POP SONG.
I think it’s because Korean English is pronounced so differently from Japanese English, but there are really a lot of people who don’t understand when I speak (Japanese) English. So I have to remember twice as much.
For example, coffee is (pronounced well) COFFEE, and super concert is (pronounced well) SUPER CONCERT.
That’s because the way English is pronounced in Japanese and Korean is different. It’s difficult.
I’m like, what are you talking about? (laughs)
