を and お have the same sound.
Nowadays Japanese language is written with PCs and we need to type in wo to get を. Maybe this causes a bad misunderstanding for Japanese people that を has wo sound.

Even though popular Japanese singers make it seem the contrary, foreigners learn that を and お make the same sound. Distinguishing and pronouncing long Japanese vowels tend to be difficult for English speakers, thus I made this audio request. Thanks for your help!
