I am trying to learn Japanese since I am going to move there to study for 6 months next year. Now my choire will start rehearsing a Japanese song (Saitaro-Bushi). I thought it would be a fun challenge and learning opportunity to ace the pronunciation.
Problem: I don’t know how it should be. I find it difficult to listen to the pronunciation on song recordings since the harmonics makes certain sounds difficult to pick up.
Question: Is there a tool or service I can use to get a clear and accurate pronunciation as a recording or something that is easier to mimic? (I don’t know any Japanese speakers)
Bonus Question: Dose musical and conversation Japanese differ in pronunciation? I know that in my first language (Swedish) some words differ for more classic songs.
