چکیده
Music is used for people practicing sports, for elderly individuals, and to help train the mind. Recently in music information science, studies have been conducted on music therapy and on music classification from a therapeutic point of view. However, most of these studies have classified music based on melody and tempo. No classification method that is based on lyrics has been performed for music therapy support.

As this method was developed for Japanese lyrics, it is necessary to evaluate the method for English lyrics. In this paper, the results of such evaluation is described. We also describe an improved method, appropriate for English lyrics.
