びっくりした!英語で彼の発音は素晴らしいですよ。One of the singers in this song is Japanese; his English pronunciation is very good!

Have you heard the song, "Dreaming Alone"? It's performed by a U.S. band called "Against the Current," and it features a singer named "Taka."

When I first heard this song a few months ago, I assumed that "Taka" was Japanese American (or born in another English-speaking country), because his pronunciation is very clear and natural. However, I learned that his full name is "Takahiro Morita," and he was born in Japan and lives in Japan. 

If you watch the video, listen to his "R" pronunciation, especially in words like: "bruised, hard, bright, summer, another, never, dreaming, other." I'm impressed with his natural pronunciation while singing! 

You can read the English lyrics here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRzLuycvX7A

Do you know of any other Japanese musicians with great English pronunciation?

Thank you, see you soon,
