This weekend, I attended my monthly guitar practice meetup, and there’s so much I want to share with you. However, since it’s already late, I’m going to write about just one small thing.
A friend of mine showed a video of an Argentinian guitarist named Guillermo Rizzotto and mentioned that he could tell it was filmed in Japan because of the sound of the children’s laughter and voices, though it was fleeting and hard to hear. We all nodded as we listened to the first ten seconds. Here's the video.

In the latter half, you can catch some Japanese words if you're a Japanese speaker, but you don't need to listen that far. I think it's interesting that even the sound of children's laughter can have something of a Japanese vibe.
That is really interesting. I wonder if children laughing sound slightly different in different languages. I've never really thought of that before.
日本の小さい子どもたちは、悲鳴のような声を出していることが多いな、とこの２，３年で気が付きました。ただ走っているだけなのに「キャー😆！」って叫びながら遊んでるの。ある国の友人によると、悲鳴は危険信号なので、そのような声を出さないように教育することが多いそうです。私は危険信号である悲鳴が聞こえたときに、何も感じずに助けに行けないだろうな...と思って、最近は意識的に気をつけるようにしています😅
@Ersatzjello Yes, but after writing this, I've come to think that the children's laughter is the most noticeable part of the video because adults remain silent when listening to his music. No matter who makes it or how faint it is, I might be able to identify Japanese sounds.
@Aki_ なるほど、教育のありようによっても子どもの出す声や音は変わってくるでしょうね。私も気をつけよう…必要なときには助けにいけるように。
