Gentle Light

One song that shows how well a 16-beat pattern can fit a ballad is EXILE’s “Yasashii Hikari.” It’s a love ballad included on their 2009 album Toward a Beloved Future.

For a while from the intro, it’s a gentle, typical ballad, but once the chorus hits, the drum’s hi-hat switches to a 16-beat groove.

Because 16-beat ballads tend to have a slow tempo, the rhythmic subdivisions may feel even more distinct.
