music Anypony else listen to music that's not in English or in your native turn?

[ManaMinori 4,145]

don't care for English music much (even though it's my native language). I have very, very few songs that I listen to that are in English. Most of them are in Japanese (J-rock/ J-pop)

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

I listen to a lot of old foreign songs like German marching songs and the Red Army Orchestra.

 

 

 

As for modern I listen to stuff like Omega(I guess they are somewhat modern)

 

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

I listen to a fair amount of Jpop and Kpop, as I find it more appealing than any mainstream American music...

[TheJLeeTeam 914]

Sometimes I like to listen to japanese songs. Even though I barely understand them, I find them catchier than english songs. 

[Pinkie-Sparkle 254]

I have one artist in my playlist who sings Icelandic. His album also come out in English, but I do like it when he sings in his own language.

Profetens Apenbaring - Under the sign of Hell

Literately half of the album is in English and the other half is in Norwegian

[Clover Heart 978]

Yes. In all honesty, I think that lyrics are one of the least important aspects to music. Though if something's especially vapid and stupid (and not to the point of being funny, but to the point of just being really stupid) it may be off-putting. But any musical elements tend to be the most important parts. So I don't mind if I can't understand the lyrics as long as the song and singer are good.

 

Having studied Japanese and now living in Japan, I listen to a lot of Japanese music.

 

I'm also particularly interested in language as a whole, so I like listening to songs in other languages.

 

One good thing about listening to songs in other languages is that they're not bound to the same conventions music is in your own country, so you get to hear some really unique stuff when compared to music that comes out where you're from, sometimes.

 

Also, Park Hyo Shin is my favorite singer. He's just damn good.

Ooh, I love Ásgeir's music! My favorite song from him is "Leyndarmál".

Sometimes I'll listen to some K-pop, don't care that I don't know what they're saying, but it sounds cool.

[Ac3xAssasin 453]

I have come to really like German music. I listen to alot of Seeed, Wise Guys and some Rammstein

I listen to Japanese music and sometimes Korean music too.

 

Jpop

[Castle_Cross 331]

Rammestein, which I believe is in German xD, and I also listen to the second opening of death note, what's up people, idk, is awesome and funny at the same time

[Phoenix Flair 332]

I don't, because I like to listen to music I can sing along to, but there are a few Japanese songs, the opening or closing themes to animes I've watched that I like a lot and would like to learn the words to some day.  It'll probably never happen, though.  Good god, that language is just so complex.
