I hope my professor will be ok with me inserting some loanwords I found in vkey interviews for study purposes in my graduation paper XD
-
Oh I'm basically writing my paper on Japanese loanwords and I'm doing kinda this from past to present theme where I talk about the old ones that no one uses today and the new ones. So I thought it would be a nice idea to talk about how they use a lot of words from English when they mention instruments or music types or other music terms in general *w*. But to be honest I don't have this well structured idea as of now XD

That sounds cool! I think it's interesting when loanwords take on lives of their own in the second language. Like, I've never heard of "A melody" or "B melody" in English-language discussions of music composition, but "Aメロ" and "Bメロ" seem like really common terms in Japanese-language band interviews.

I'm gonna be total nerd now and say that I really love researching etymologies of words in general, especially when it comes to loanwords XD. The ones in Japanese kept me awake a lot of nights reading about them. I love it when they throw in terms like that, it makes me think for hours what are they trying to say hahaha XD. That's why I was thinking of writing about that in my next chapter of the paper XD.
