Ever fancy listening to Japanese pop songs?  

not really into japanes but more in to korean. LOL. i am here in philippines and i could say a lot of korean tv series too are a big hit that's why people here are airing songs from the respective soundtracks of the tv series.

the only time i was able to listen japanese songs are the soundtracks of animes such as samurai x, ghost fighter, prince of tennis and other animes. i could say japanese artist are also passionate about their music.

are teriyaki boyz japanese?

I think it is fun to experience. Just beware of the confusion

Yeah Japanese songs are nice songs, I have heard 9-10 times only, I heard one of the song in a movie 'Fast and the Furious - Tokyo Drift', it is a nice song by Teriyaki Boyz. And others i have listened in a Japanese game I play ie Tekken.

I have never had a chance to listen to japenese song but whenever I hear some chinese or korean songs they really sound interesting and nice even though i cant understand a thing.

Hello your Lordship. Eureka! It sure does pay to be curious. Thank you for this site. I haven't gone to it yet since I am too excited to respond to this post. Before my computer shuts down again for the nth time. Even without checking it out, I will give you my thoughts on turning Japanese ;) I love Japanese songs in whatever genre. My favorite is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZToJc2sXnO

When I was in college I took Japanese lessons and had my teacher translate that song to English. I wonder now where I kept that translation hhmmm. Thank you for this post. Sure made my day. Have a great day.

woohoo thank you lots lord ;-)

i hope i find something from koto there, i like his music lots. i go and have a try now. its always good to listen to other countries music and see what they have. it amazes me to see how the music did change allover the world.

what i like is, the japanese do mix the folklore with classic and new music styles

Yeah I have listen to some of it before and I really find it soothing and some are really hyper even though I don't really understand the lyrics but the melody and beat can tell so much about the music.
I also love all those anime soundtrack, you can really feel the story in there music.

Well I think I will visit this site to explore more on there music genre... as they are now consider.

I dig korean, chinese and japanes songs! Even if i do not understand most of the lyrics. How weird is that?! I started liking korean songs after the Korean drama invasion in our local tv channels. It did not take long for me to buy Korean movies, and the soundtrack are just too good. I think the soundtrack of their movies really made a big difference in the show.
I like chinese instrumental songs, i bought a cd already, i listen to it before sleeping. Its soothing.
For the japanese songs, i first listened to it in manga or anime series. There is one japanese song i love so much it is First Love by Utada Hikaru. A japanese song with an english title.ü

I dont know japanese. But my friend has great interest in japanese songs. I too have the thought that for music language is not important. But i dont listen to japanese songs!

Awesome, Thanks for sharing I always enjoy listening to different types of music from different cultures, and countries, and small local groups from places that are not heard of often.

Take care,
