If ppl dont really get Jp accents, english is a stressed language while Japanese is a pitched accent. Stressed languages stress sections of words for eg. ‘tomorrow’, to - MO - rrow. You’re normally supposed to stress the ‘Mo’ in tomorrow. Different accents work by stressing sections in words differently, either stronger in the case of stronger accents and opposite in the case of weaker ones. Japanese doesnt stress different sections of words but changes pitch depending on the section of the word u pronounce, in this clip, they say ノドボトケ or nodobotoke. U saw the pitch u speak the word with in the sub titles but the ‘normal’ Japanese accent is alittle different, alittle bit more flat than the accent Korone speaks with, Korone changes pitch on nearly every character she says whilst Shion speaks with the more universal Japanese accent. Tip for if u want to learn Japanese, learn to speak with a pitched accent rather than a stressed one, it should help pronunciation and annunciation and will definitely make u sound wayy more natural wen speaking. Thats often why u can notice wen a foreigner is speaking Japanese compared to an actual Japanese person, a lot of foreigners speak Japanese with a stressed accent as opposed to a pitched accent where instead of pitching sections of words they stress them and to me, it never sounds natural. Idk why i wrote a paragraph and if u read this than sorry Edit: if you read this than thanks Edit2: oh damn this got pinned?? Edit: damn editing unpins stuff
First of all when I hear non-Japanese people (especially from English-primary countries) speaking Japanese they can't properly pronounce syllables before even talking about entire words or taking the accent into account. As for the pitch accent itself... honestly, I can't hear it for shit.
I've noticed before how melodic it sounds when Korone speaks and thought that's just what regular Japanese sounds like. I really, REALLY like it. Interesting to find out that it's her accent. I wonder where that accent comes from... probably the south, right?
@@zeriel9148 Unfortunately this is pretty standard in Japan. Especially when folks are trying to search for jobs. Glad she still has her accent though because it's absolutely adorable.
@@H36TRemasters "Unfortunately this is pretty standard in Japan." No it's not. It was a conversation, like a standard-speaking challenge game. It's just a HAHA moment that would be nothing to discuss without the clip. Don't create a Japanese standard in your own imagination. sigh

More like Japan is like any place that's been inhabited for a long time. (And hasn't had a standard variety forced on people for a long time, or very large migration between areas)
@@1yle. Well, it is true for some words like the words for rain and candy. Rain is A👆🏻me, while candy is A👇🏻me. The only difference between their pronunciation is the inotation of the A sound. Sorry I couldn't find the arrow.
It's called rhotacism, difficulty to pronounce the R sound. There's a clip of Korone where she says she has trouble with the ra ri ru re ro sounds, that's why when she says her name it outputs as Koone, she just skips the R.
The moment you start learning pitch accent, its like your eyes are opened and suddenly all these vtubers start sounding way weirder because of wacky accents
And also, the accents stick to Japanese veeeery quickly. Dated a girl who grew up in Osaka, and in 2 weeks, j was speaking just like her, even tho I was in Hokkaido.
I love Korone's accent even if it's weird for some people Even when singing, Korone still has the accent XD That makes the singing transcend to god dog level
I remember watching this video a long time ago and not being able to tell the difference between their pronunciations, but after a few years of hearing japanese and learning it, I can!
it just hit me that maybe her accent has a large role in why her english is so understandable. hearing shion speak english, the pronunciation felt all over the place, but all of Korones felt kinda close
@@ValkyrieTiara nah, she had a video talking about where her accent is from. Not sure where the clip is but it was a mix of her local area's accent plus her grandparents' accent iirc
Korone was born to a father who spoke in the Mie dialect (Kansai) and a mother who spoke in the Miyagi dialect (Tohoku), and her speech was strongly influenced by her maternal grandmother. This may be the reason why there is a debate whether she speaks in the Tohoku or Kansai dialect. (This information was obtained from the Internet and may not be accurate.
The thing with vowels at the end of consonant-ending syllables is because in Japanese there are barely (if any) words that don't end without a vowel, so that makes Japanese speakers add them at the end of any of those words to make them sound properly in their language
I can’t laugh my grandma is from Osaka so when she taught me Japanese she still spoke in the Kansai-ben so I learned it that way and I still speak like that XD
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, NOW! I don't speak anything even RESEMBLING fluent Japanese, but I've been subconsciously noticing little differences in how words can be spoken, from person to person. IT'S PITCH! Their accents are PITCHED! Thanks, random TH-cam video!
yes, its kinda like british people have different intonations, americans and southern compared to northern accents or chinese or every language in the world.
Dialect and accent are not the same, in the video, they are talking about Korone's accent (intonation). Inui Toko for example straight up talk in kansai-ben. Watame is from Kansai too but she talks in kanto dialect with kansai accent, I think the same happens with Ange Katrina.
Sort of, but also in Japanese words actually change their meaning depending on where you put the emphasis while speaking. Kami, for instance, means god, paper, and hair and if you say the word wrong you might make someone confused about why you needed your paper cut since they have to mentally be like "Wait, they must mean hair..." So I think that is really why they get on her about talking weird.
@@lucasvega4216 well i get what you mean, but i stand my point that every language have different accents at certain spots within the country no matter the country.
Ceryk Paper (紙) and hair (髪) actually use the same accent I think. That is odaka with the pitch peaking on the final syllable: /kàmí/. Kami as in god (神) has the pitch peaking on te first syllable: /kámì/. I think the reason why pitch-accent is so confusing to English speakers is because the stress-accent that English has has a lower functional load than the accent in Japanese; meaning that the accent in Japanese is more important for differentiating between otherwise similar sounding words. Probably because Japanese has a lot less phonemic segments (vowels and consonants) than English and therefore a lot more homophones.
I have a theory that Korone grew up in a traditional household in some small Japanese city. Excluding her obvious accent and shy nature, if you watch her 3D videos with Okayu and other members she moves very femininely and has a lot of stamina when it comes to dancing and workouts. I assume her accent is something that comes from her hometown/region and her femininity, introvertedness and endurance indicates she probably had a traditional upbringing, since that is basically textbook ideal Japanese housewive behavior. Furthermore, she stated she graduated from Tokyo University and she has also mentioned she takes boxing classes, so I also assume that she was probably relatively oppressed by her childhood and with hololive and the freedom of being a college student she got the opportunity she wanted to let loose.
When I first saw this I didn't really know pitch accent but now that I do, good god I thought she'd just be placing accent on wrong mora but she's just adding multiple accents per word sometimes and it sounds really funny
I once read something about a "sing-song" accent, and I couldn't imagine what it would sound like. Now, I think I have figured it out. It's got to be like that. The pitch shift.
Even as a japanese student. The high and low accents for Japanese is one thing that I am always interested in but will probably never understand. Or at least to the extent of proficiency. I remember the jokes involving Kaji Yuki where other seiyuus would deliberately change the way his name was accented from high to low
I noticed another cute thing about Korone's accent. Notice how every word ending in "ne" she pronounces it like "ña" or more accurately like a "ñæ' (say the not compound "e" vowel with an "a" shaped mouth.) Try it for yourself. Say "Koroneh" Now say "Koroñæ" Its really endearing. Kinda when like she says "yosh" she has a startup going like "ñyosh".
Pitch accent is not massively critical if we're talking about the Japanese language. It's more of a pronounciation issue--If you're not doing the right pitch, you might have Japanese guys looking at you funny at times, but you'll still be perfectly comprehensible. The Chinese language, on the other hand? You make the wrong pitch on a word, and you'll be unintentionally saying something completely different.
Why? To confirm their suspicion that learning pitch accent is unimportant? It's a video of two vtubers having a fun time streaming together despite one having unique pitch accent, and have no misunderstanding whatsoever. And as you can see, everyone loves Korone's accent.
Another thing I like about how Korone speak is on top of her accent, she basically speaks like UWU in English, but less annoying since that's how she speak so it's just extra cute lol

i just realized that the word bread in Japanese is the EXACT SAME in Spanish

That's because the word in Japanese is a loan word from Portuguese, and it shares the same Latin root (panem) as other Romance languages.
