概要 This study demonstrates the eclectic musical tastes of young Japanese people today and the role of YouTube as a music platform. Using a mixed methods approach that combines a survey of over 500 university undergraduates with interviews and focus group work with 82 students, a rich description is presented of the ways in which music videos on YouTube are consumed. The music videos are watched with varying levels of engagement because music provides a background accompaniment to other activities much of the time. Nevertheless, music videos with skillful dancing, great originality, or a dramatic storyline, attract higher levels of engagement and repeated viewings. The role of English-language lyrics and the priority given to melody and rhythm are also explored. This study underscores the need for investigating global phenomena in local (non-Western) contexts to build a more accurate understanding of music video consumption through YouTube worldwide.
