The A part -> bridge -> chorus -> B part -> bridge -> chorus structure of a lot of J-pop/rock songs has to do with the fact that anime OPs are roughly 80-90 seconds long. If your song is an anime song, it will have a general structure. In order to fit the "TV-size" version of the song into the OP, it's necessary to structure the song such that the first part and chorus lasts about 80-90 seconds, that's the part that goes into the show's OP. After that there's a bridge, then the second part of the song plays, and then there's usually some kind of instrumental section, and then the chorus repeats, and the song ends. Anime music always has this general structure, and once you've listened to enough of it you get used to this format and the rare anime song that breaks that format is notable and unusual. The first OP of The World God Only Knows is a recent example of an anime OP that absolutely doesn't follow this structure. |

You can learn about the structure of a blues song on Wikipedia. I don't think you can learn about the structure of "Japanese popular music." The J-pop article has a history section but no information about the structure. So thanks for explaining it.
The Kaminomi OPs don't have a chorus, it goes sort of like ABCD. For iM@S songs, game versions are 125 seconds long. Often you will find one of the last parts of the game version is a repeat of the chorus. Anime OP versions of songs usually end with the B part. I had no idea what PPPH was, so if you're like me go here. I couldn't find it explained in English. I still don't know what it is. Pan Papan Hyuu? |

That's what it is. "Pan" is the sound made by hand claps, "Hyuu" is the cheering sound you make (usually accompanied by punching your fist into the air). In other words PPPH is three claps than a cheer. It's one of the "standard forms" of cheering in idol concerts and is always done during the bridge of the song, literally anyone who is semi-serious about idol/seiyuu concerts will know it, and they drew it in the anime too.

Thank you, do I get some sort of award or join some kind of special club when I do?
Also, the suggestion to bring up an iM@S subforum with brought up about 1 or 2 pages ago; there's this thread for the anime and one more for the games themselves. Music and character discussion seems to be fine in these two threads so I'm not really sure what else we need.
