Background music

Japanese: バックグラウンド・ミュージック(英語表記)background music
Background music
A general term for sounds and music incorporated into a specific spatial environment. It is also abbreviated as BGM. Until the 1960s, it originally referred to music incorporated into an otherwise soundless environment with a specific purpose. A typical example is the BBC program created during World War II to relieve fatigue and reduce accidents among mobilized factory workers. BGM is also an important area for use in the medical field. Today, purpose-recorded records and tapes are supplied in greater quantities and in a more organized way than radio.

Japanese:
特定の空間環境の中に組み込まれた音響および音楽の総称。BGMの略称も使われている。1960年代までは,本来は音のない環境に一定の目的をもって組み込んだ音楽を指した。第2次世界大戦中に,勤労動員で工場で働く人の疲労を和らげ,事故を減少させるために作られたBBCの番組は,その典型である。医療における使用もBGMの重要な分野である。今日では,ラジオよりも,目的に合わせて録音されたレコードやテープが大量に,しかも,組織的に供給されている。
