I am a student that is currently working on a thesis on code-switching in
Japanese popular music and the motivation(s) for switching in music, but I am
having difficulty finding research that has been done on this topic.

I have managed to find similar research on other languages such as the
switching of Spanish and English in Reggaeton, but I have not been able to
find much on the switching seen specifically with English and Japanese in
music.

I am currently listening to Japanese and Korean music and I can hear some
English lyrics in almost every song that I listen to. Surely there must have
been some research done on this.

Any references to studies on this topic or any advice as to where I can find
more information about it would be greatly appreciated.
