Abstract

This paper aims to explore the hypothesis that the “Japanese language has an influence on performances of Western art music by Japanese people” and show the challenges that arise from this standpoint. First, we find that Westerners perceive such performances as something strange, and that the influence of the Japanese language has been identified as a cause of Japanese-style performances of Western art music (JPWAM). Second, the similarities between Japanese, rhythm, intonation, and JPWAM and the differences between Western languages and their performances are highlighted, and the problem of “mother tongue interference” as a possible cause is examined. Finally, the perspective of JPWAM as being something akin to Creole is shown, and the question of what this means, is addressed.
