Hello everyone! I’ll talk about one of my favorite hobbies- listening to music. I like to listen to rock music or R&B music. Rock music makes me excited and R&B music makes me relaxed. So, listening to music is a distraction (気晴らし) for me! However, I’m trying to listen to city pop music these days. I often listen to city pop music such as those by Tatsuro Yamashita or Otaki Eiichi. My father has a lot of CDs of their music, so I listen to them with his CD player. Also, city pop music is very familiar in the U.S.. I’m very glad that Japanese city pop is embraced by the countries around the world. I’ll listen to city pop music more and be familiar with it!
