Haha, I am the same way. I have a bunch of songs I know nothing about. But hey it sounds great and I blast it on. I don't really have to understand what they are singing just as long as it sounds great to my ears...

I listen mostly to American music. But because of the influence of Asian soap operas from Taiwan, Korea and Japan, I have become familiar to their music. :)

Yes I do!!! I mostly listen to music that I can understand (English) from U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia. For instrumentals, I have no preferences as long as they are pleasing to my ear.

I love all kind of music with different languages. I even collect French and Italian songs. I do like English songs, but most of my collections are Indonesian, Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean songs. Actually im learning also for Nihongo, Mandarin, and Hanguk (korean), and listening those songs in such languages, makes my learning more enjoyable. I try to memorize and pronounce it and of course to understand the lyrics (there are many source in internet where you can download the lyrics and the meaning in english). For me, language is not the barrier to enjoy the music as long as its nice to listen. For Japanese, i really love Utada Hikaru, Ayumi hamasaki, BoA (she is a korean but she has Japanese album also), TVXQ (japanese version), Rain (Japanese album), Mika Nakashima, Arashi, OST Japanese dramas just like OST Hanazakarino Kimitachie, 1 litre of tears, OST Hana yori dango, WAT, OST Boku dake no Madonna, OST SAi no haha, Kat-tun, Hideaki Takizawa, and many more (i forgot the other...) but i really love those songs... For Korean, just like Japanese artist, i do have many idols. TVXQ, Boa, Super junior especially SUper junior K.R.Y, Wonder girls, Baby VOX, Rain, Group S-Kang ta, Shin hyesung, and Lee Jihoon, SHinhwa, Kara, Kim john Hoon, H.O.T, Kim Jong Guk, and many more. I do enjoy to listen the OST Dramas (i even collect all the OST for the dramas after watch it! And its complete...heheh). For Taiwanese, I love Fahrenheit, F4- Vaness Wu, S.H.E, Jay CHou, Wang Lee Hom, Angela Zhang, Ambrose Hui, 5566, Wot else? Hmm... of course the OST Taiwanese dramas, like romantic princess, hanakimi taiwanese, meteor garden, and many more. Hehe... Im learning also how to read and writing Hanguk, and its pretty good now. For me, writing and reading hanguk is the same and more simple compare to nihongo and mandarin. Nihongo has many kind like kanji, hiragana, and katakana, and its difficult!

Yes I do. I like American and Japanese music, though usually the Japanese music that I'd like to listen is from anime. Sometimes, I also listen to Korean and Chinese music. Utada Hikaru and Maaya Sakamoto are the Japanese singer that I love to listen. :D
