Just personal observation, maybe it feels different for a professional English song lyric composer.
I don’t have a spreadsheet, but so many characters have the same ending sounds in Mandarin that I could easily find a rhyming word when writing song lyrics.
English is a struggle to find a rhyming word that fits into the context of the contents, and it feels kinda like a forced rhyme.
I haven’t really spoken Mandarin for over 15 years, somehow it’s still easier to do rhyming.
P.S. Cantonese has more variety of sounds and less characters have the same ending sounds, so its harder to rhyme in Cantonese.
Idk, I put the Kanjis in my name cuz it looks cool (I mean Kanji is just Chinese really), I don’t speak Japanese, sadly :(
It’s not “just Chinese really.” It derived from Chinese and there are many overlaps, but in modern Japanese, Kanji very often represent different words than their Chinese counterparts. Your take is… uninformed.
