Do you listen to..
 
Do you listen to music in other languages? What do you listen to? Why? Why don't you listen to it?

Don't be the idiot who goes "I don't listen to them because I b no understand it" You can always look up English lyrics.

Haza July 23rd, 2009 6:30 PM

I love Spanish, French, and Japanese music.

.little monster July 23rd, 2009 6:37 PM

I have no specific language that I prefer, however, I do listen to a Russian, Swedish, Finnish, Israeli, and Spanish band. There are more too.

Star★Seeker July 23rd, 2009 9:34 PM

I occassionally listen to Japanese and French music, and English, of course.

Esper July 23rd, 2009 9:39 PM

Other than... English? Your native language?

It doesn't matter what language it is as long as the music is good.

Graceful July 24th, 2009 9:37 AM

Japanese and Korean. Really just Utada and BoA. And the odd Kumi Koda.....

Kazukii July 24th, 2009 9:38 AM

Nope, I don't listen to other language music.. it's always English for me ;;

Rogue planet July 24th, 2009 9:49 AM

I don't take language into account whilst deciding if I like a band or not.
I listen to a few German bands and Japanese anime OSTs.

I Laugh at your Misfortune! July 24th, 2009 9:49 AM

Er...I listen to Caramelldansen

/shot

Cid July 24th, 2009 9:50 AM

Yes I do.
Besides English, I listen to Japanese songs (orJ-pop, as some may refer), mostly due to watching anime in Japanese.

Legobricks July 24th, 2009 12:31 PM

Yes:
Chinese, Dutch, Finnish, German, Japanese, Punjabi, Spanish, Swedish.

Most of them are simply nicer sounding than English and flow of the tongue well, or in the case of German appropriately harsh for use in metal.

The idea of songs is to hear the words. Reading them in one language while hearing them in a different one defeats the point of there being a song in the first place. For this reason not understanding a language is a valid reason, at least as far as I'm concerned.

I listen to japanese music because I find the lyrics to have a wide range of meanings. From deep and touching to complete nonsense

Camisado July 24th, 2009 12:41 PM

I listen to a bit of Japanese music, like Polysics and Miyavi.

I'd probably enjoy it more if I understood it. Polysics is quite fun and Engrish though.

sanny the hedgehog July 24th, 2009 12:50 PM

yeah i like to listen to foreign music
anything that sounds good and is rock is fine with me

Pyrax July 24th, 2009 12:58 PM

I mostly listen to English music, but occasionally I listen to Japanese music.

Gunn July 24th, 2009 1:49 PM

I'm going to be the idiot.

kingofjokers July 24th, 2009 10:38 PM

yes i do in Spanish cause wellmyparents play it all the time and sometimes its good

Lucy Lu July 24th, 2009 10:51 PM

Well I listen to some Spanish and Korean music. But for the most part I will listen to Japanese. <3 I think it is nice to listen to music from different languages. You expand your cultural horizon. And it will feel like you are not alone listening to this song. Probably someone is listening the same song, but in their native language.

Ho-Oh July 24th, 2009 11:12 PM

I like Big Bang and BoA... but otherwise, no. XD;

Ayano Katagiri July 25th, 2009 12:04 AM

I'll listen to music in any language as long as I like it. I don't have a "preference" for choosing a particular language. But currently, most of my music is if not English, then Japanese.

donavannj July 25th, 2009 12:09 AM

I can name most, if not all, of the languages I've heard songs in, aside from English: French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Romanian, Italian, Latin, Swedish (not just Caramelldansen), Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, and Arabic.
