In this paper, it is discussed that Fumio Koizumi's famous studies in Japanese popular music have some problems. His studies have been influential in the Japanese musicological studies in popular music, and the method in that studies is mainly based on a theory of musical scales that used in the succeeding study by Yoshiaki Sato. Sato's study is better for explaining how some scales of Japanese popular music have taken roots, than Koizumi's, But Sato's study has same problem in Koizumi's, which became clear at Sato's appearance in a famous T.V. news show program, "News Station." Studies based on a theory of musical scales often cut the music to abstract entities which are not heard by audience, so the studies will fail to catch a whole of the musical event. This paper suggests that popular music studies should stare on three levels of productive/neutral/receptive in a music event, not accord a privilege to "music itself."
