| Feb 6, 2013 at 5:20 | comment | added | Mechanical snail | @DaveMG: I disagree. While being art gives singers artistic license to pronounce it however best suits the song, there exist linguistic conventions that get applied by default. To compare, you can have constructive questions on rhyming conventions in English, as while poets sometimes do use slant rhyme, rhyming is mostly governed by real phonology. This is basically the same. This particular question is in principle answerable more definitively than with "lists of various things that individuals have heard" by finding examples that appear in multiple places, or by finding studies or surveys. | |
| Feb 5, 2013 at 6:41 | comment | added | Questioner | Sorry, I voted to close because no matter how well the question is phrased, singing is an art, which means that the decisions about pronunciation (or anything else) that any one singer might make are completely open to their personal interpretation (and culture... and style...etc...) and can't be codified. Answers can only be long lists of various things that individuals have heard in songs they've listened to, but without any way to verify how common, pervasive, or standard they might be. This question would be answered more accurately, and be more fun, with practical karaoke experimentation. | |

| Feb 2, 2013 at 3:12 | comment | added | user18597 | I really don't think there are such "rules" so that we can answer this. For example, listen to this: youtube.com/watch?v=557LCPYdqvA Every "devoiced vowel" in the song, from start to finish, is voiced. As hi ta e isoge / Nokos hi ta mono wa / Mit su kete kureru. It just depends on the singer and style. | |

I would suggest a shorter title for this question.

| Feb 1, 2013 at 22:45 | comment | added | crayondraw | @TsuyoshiIto I'm really sorry about including so many questions in that section, it was a confusing thing but thanks for the link! | |
| Feb 1, 2013 at 22:40 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | That is a lot of questions! At least, as for “aishteru,” it is called muted vowels or devoiced vowels, and this phenomenon is not specific to songs. See this question and other questions listed under “Linked” on the right of that webpage. | |
