日本語学習者のためのJpop music / Jpop music for Japanese learner

I watched this video.

 

www.youtube.com

And I thought which song is the best for Japanese learner?

For example, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu songs are not suitable for Japanese learner. Because these lyrics is mysterious. The lyrics put too much emphasis on lime.
It's not casual or academic Japanese, it's a Japanese for poetry.
In a similar reason, Southern All Stars, Ringo Shiina and Ego Wrappin, thee michelle gun elephant are not appropriate for Japanese language learners(But they are great music, I favorite them).
As far as lyrics are concerned, I'd recommend to use those with conservative Japanese, in a sense.
For example, pop music by Ken Hirai and Kazumasa Oda. Or anime songs for children, which are relatively easy to understand in Japanese. These songs are clear pronunciation and the lyric sentences make sence. I think. For example, I feel that the opening music of the anime Dragon Ball would be suitable for Japanese learner.

 

日本語学習者にとってきゃりーぱみゅぱみゅは、勉強用の歌としては使いにくいという話が上の動画で紹介されている。まあ、それはそうだろうと思う。椎名林檎とかも、あんまり向いてなさげ。日本語リスニングに使うなら、勉強用に使うなら、小田和正とか平井堅みたいな曲とかのほうが、いいだろう。発音もクリアだし、文の意味も普通にわかるし。

そう考えると英語の勉強で使う曲もあんまり冒険しないで、比較的万人向けのやや保守的な感じの曲とかを使ったほうがいいのかもしれない。
