A Question about "independent" Clap

mellody · #1 13th December 2009, 05:46 PM

Okay, this might be a worthless question to ask, but I'm so curious about it.
Please help me!

Did someone notice that the "independent" clap in the beginning of the song, is the same with these 2 songs?

大塚愛 - SMILY

Spoiler:

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Feeling Fine

Spoiler:

So, My Question is :
Is it coincidence?
Or that kind of beat is popular in Japan?
(Sorry, I couldn't make a proper question since my english aren't that good to describe my question.

)

I think it has a name or smth. the 11 claps?? ← I guess.

One two

one two three four

the rhythm is really common everywhere.. i guess ayu jus wanted to have a tune more familiar with everyone.

mellody · #15 15th December 2009, 04:26 PM

I'm curious about this because in my country I didn't find something like this.

Thanks to make it clear anyway~

Yeah, it's not like it's just a song thing, or that anyone's borrowed it or anything.

I've heard it tons of times before, and at school it's a pep rally kinda thing. So anytime I try to do the "Ayu thing" and clap like that, it never comes off as interesting. =P It's like, "Oh, there's a game?" xD
