Pachelbel's Canon
Zさん："Ever notice how deeply engrained "Pachelbel's Canon" is in the Japanese musical psyche? It is heard in loudspeakers of almost all department stores and train stations. Innumerable J-POP songs pilfered the chord progression, and layered it with lovelorn lyrics. The funny thing is, most Japanese people realize this and don't seem to mind! I guess if you find something that works, don't reinvent the wheel of fifths."
