    What is BGM

    It is BGM that I listen casually, but since what time has BGM started to be used?
    BGM stands for Back Ground Music, which is music that flows on the background of games and movies.
    Origin was the introduction to improve the working environment of factory workers.
    BGM's effect has been scientifically proven, such as improving work efficiency, improving morale, and reducing mistakes, and it has reached the present.
    Here, we will explain the effects of BGM in four ways.



    T.Masking effect

    First of all, "masking" is one of the effects of BGM.
    It is to hide a certain sound (noise) with a certain sound (BGM).
    So, what kind of "masking" will happen?
    .... It is when the frequencies of the two sounds are close and when the volume is louder than the sound "masking".
    For example,
    　・The shop is facing the main street and the noise of the car is noisy.
    　・Machine sound that is continuously emitted is noisy
    　・The seat with the neighbor is near, I can hear the talk
    Is BGM often used at such times?



    U.Image inductive effect

    The second effect of BGM is "image induction effect".
    Brighten the atmosphere of the shop, create a high-class feeling, or create a fun atmosphere in places with many children.
    "Directing a calm atmosphere and peaceful feeling"
    "It leads to image-up"
    Many people seem to be using the effect of BGM plus.
    If it is, it is needless to say that you select the music with a solid purpose, and use BGM properly depending on the scene and time.
    The impression of BGM is rarely caught by consciousness consciousness.
    Somehow unconsciously
    It is thought that "It is a good atmosphere" or "It is calm."
    That unconscious world is very scary.
    But on the contrary, it means that you can be a fan of the shop without noticing.



    V.Emotion induction effect

    The effect of BGM, the third is "emotion induction".
    It is a function to guide "emotion" following "image guidance".
    If we can induce "emotion", we can move people as we want in various situations.
    Mainly, at hospitals and others, we will relax BGM to relieve patients' anxiety. It makes me wonder and uneasy by listening to music.
    Experiment also knows that the emotion changes depending on the tempo and tune of BGM.
    Music plays an area of unconsciousness.



    W.Improve concentration

    It has been demonstrated that music has some effect on human brain, such as rising mood when listening to favorite music, becoming calm when listening to classical music.
    Indeed, according to a study conducted by Stanford University in 2007, music has been demonstrated to enhance learning effectiveness and concentration.
    According to Vinod Menon, an associate professor who studied, the human brain reacts sensitively to changes in melody and sound of music, so that the brain is activated, And it proved that the concentration ability to the environment which is occurring around the sound increases.
    Scientifically proved that work efficiency increases with BGM.
