Yamanote dialect is characterized as the dialect of bureaucrats and the wealthy, and can be seen as pretentious, though when used by women, they can also denote refinement and gracefulness. In English, Yamanote can be translated to British English as RP; American equivalent is Prep School, Boston Brahmin, or Mid-Atlantic. Shitamachi/Edo dialect on the other hand, is associated with working-class Tokyoites. An English-language equivalent might be a Bronx, {{Joisey}} or Cockney accent.

On the flip side though, whenever there are works set after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima, this dialect is commonly used. The Japanese dialects spoken by Nikkei immigrants and descendants in Hawaii are largely based on the Hiroshima dialect (along with the Okinawan dialects and accents) because the largest contingent of Japanese emigrants to Hawaii are from Hiroshima.
