I guess, haha. Not like we care all that much, though, if it’s good music, that’s all that matters. When I listened to the song you posted, I was reminded of YUKI, although they’re quite a bit different. YUKI has more arrangements and incorporates more instruments into her songs. Also, her voice is a bit weird, being very nasal, but I really love it, makes her have a very unique tone.






Portuguese here. This is anecdotal evidence but, as far as I can tell, a lot of our proficiency comes, essentially, to constant exposure to the English language since the early to mid-90s. We don’t dub English-speaking media (apart from movies and tv shows more aimed at kids, but even then, Cartoon Network didn’t even have subs when I was a kid and I still watched it religiously), the video games we played when we were kids also didn’t have a Portuguese language option so we were basically forced to learn English.
And now that the Internet has become widespread throughout the country, the younger generation consume a lot of English-speaking content, so they have little trouble with speaking and writing in it.
This results in a good % of the population having decent to good English, not just the kids but a lot of people in their 30s (and some in their 40s) too.
