MGD: Music Genre Dataset

Over recent years, the world has seen a dramatic change in the way people consume music, moving from physical records to streaming services. Since 2017, such services have become the main source of revenue within the global recorded music market.
Therefore, this dataset is built by using data from Spotify. It provides a weekly chart of the 200 most streamed songs for each country and territory it is present, as well as an aggregated global chart.

Considering that countries behave differently when it comes to musical tastes, we use chart data from global and regional markets from January 2017 to December 2019, considering eight of the top 10 music markets according to IFPI: United States (1st), Japan (2nd), United Kingdom (3rd), Germany (4th), France (5th), Canada (8th), Australia (9th), and Brazil (10th).

We also provide information about the hit songs and artists present in the charts, such as all collaborating artists within a song (since the charts only provide the main ones) and their respective genres, which is the core of this work. MGD also provides data about musical collaboration, as we build collaboration networks based on artist partnerships in hit songs. Therefore, this dataset contains:

• Genre Networks: Success-based genre collaboration networks
• Genre Mapping: Genre mapping from Spotify genres to super-genres
• Artist Networks: Success-based artist collaboration networks
• Artists: Some artist data
• Hit Songs: Hit Song data and features
• Charts: Enhanced data from Spotify Weekly Top 200 Charts

Introduction

Welcome to the Japanese General Conversation Speech Dataset — a rich, linguistically diverse corpus purpose-built to accelerate the development of Japanese speech technologies. This dataset is designed to train and fine-tune ASR systems, spoken language understanding models, and generative voice AI tailored to real-world Japanese communication.

Curated by FutureBeeAI, this 40 hours dataset offers unscripted, spontaneous two-speaker conversations across a wide array of real-life topics. It enables researchers, AI developers, and voice-first product teams to build robust, production-grade Japanese speech models that understand and respond to authentic Japanese accents and dialects.

Speech Data

The dataset comprises 40 hours of high-quality audio, featuring natural, free-flowing dialogue between native speakers of Japanese. These sessions range from informal daily talks to deeper, topic-specific discussions, ensuring variability and context richness for diverse use cases.

Topic Diversity

The dataset spans a wide variety of everyday and domain-relevant themes. This topic diversity ensures the resulting models are adaptable to broad speech contexts.

Transcription

Each audio file is paired with a human-verified, verbatim transcription available in JSON format.

These transcriptions are production-ready, enabling seamless integration into ASR model pipelines or conversational AI workflows.

Metadata

The dataset comes with granular metadata for both speakers and recordings:

Such metadata helps developers fine-tune model training and supports use-case-specific filtering or demographic analysis.

Usage and Applications

This dataset is a versatile resource for multiple Japanese speech and language AI applications:

The USD/JPY exchange rate fell to 146.5600 on July 23, 2025, down 0.14% from the previous session. Over the past month, the Japanese Yen has weakened 1.12%, but it's up by 4.78% over the last 12 months. Japanese Yen - values, historical data, forecasts and news - updated on July of 2025.

Rent Inflation in Japan remained unchanged at 0.30 percent in June. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Japan Rent Inflation.

Wages in Japan decreased to 335164 JPY/Month in May from 338252 JPY/Month in April of 2025. This dataset provides - Japan Average Monthly Wages - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.
