I've always wondered. Why is it so common found in Japanese and other Asian cultures that nearly all female singers will use such high-pitched (almost child like) voices? It's just something I've observed and wondered about. It's just really odd to me, I don't get the cultural phenomenon..
@piip4 I listen to all kinds of music around the world. My speculation is not uninformed, nor is it an ignorant question, it's based on my experience with Japanese music involving female singers. In my experience, in Japanese culture (moreso than other asian cultures) music is usually reinforced by "happy-go-lucky" instrumentals with a female singer, or a group of singers, singing in a high pitched voice. Theres nothing wrong with that, it was an observation that warrents curiosity,for me
I wonder why it's not like that in most other places in the world. It's a tiny enigma since most people (I would think) likes cute females and upbeat music. I see Japan as being less of an odd-one-out and more "honest", for lack of better words.
@piip4 True enough. I suppose I would expect it more else where given the variables, but it's not present. I don't consider it an "odd-one-out" so to speak, I just find that it's more announced than the rest of the surrounding area. Nothing is exclusive to one place, more so in regards to music so I'm sure there are other places that hose such music as well.
Maybe I'm sinnical to appreciate it, maybe it's the society I grew up in, but I prefer the near opposite of what this music offers
Just bought the video on iTunes Canada. Three artists perfectly rendering the stylized innocence unique to Japanese culture. And it helps that Teruko is very handsome.
@helpmefindparents I appreciate your offering Doko Demo World for free, but I'd encourage everyone to do what I did. Go to iTunes and BUY the song there. Let's face it, Ken Tanaka's given us enough to smile about over the last while. It's certainly not much to ask for in return.

Hey Ken, I started watching you back in early 2009 when I started learning Japanese (来年立教大学に入学するために). I'm in San Diego, CA now, but I hope I can meet with you sometime! I owe you a nice dinner for all the laughs~
Thanks for the video! Can I ask a question about your translation of 「あったり なかったりする」? While I understand the individual parts, I've never ever heard that phrase before. Is it an idiom? Is it fairly common?
I just love you guys! I followed your vids from time to time because I found them really funny. Keep up the good work and if you come to Shizuoka let me know, beers on me!
I love you Ken-chan! ;o;
