Interesting, though it makes a (IMHO) very big mistake: it states that only
Korean has /M/ (back unrounded low vowel), but Japanese has it too, quite
distinctively, and has no phonemic /u/ (in fact, I didn't even hear it as a
phone. Whether it is in songs or in anime, it's very distinctively a /M/),
unlike what it states. Does Korean have /u/ really?
