I like songs in languages I don't understand!! Somehow, it makes me concentrate on the tunes and melody and the beat...
I mean, some English singers nowadays...u dunna what on earth they're singing anyway, so mite as well listen to something in another language rite?
So I actually more-or-less understand Japanese songs...when I first heard Jpop in P6 i din really like it either, cuz i din understand it...but somehow I got hooked in a matter of months. Yupz! Thanks to the Final Fantasy songs and KinKi Kids and Music Station...
Looked at the lyrics sheets. Was curious abt how those 'symbols' were read. Listened hard. Learnt to recognise a few characters. Borrowed a few bks frm the library and~ voila! New Jpop fan!That was in P6...
I remember my 1st Jpop CD...drama themes? Or was it KinkI Kids Single selection?
ok, the FF9 soundtrack doesn't count...
Um...I think my 1st Jpop CD was Kinki Kids. :D
See, u dun have to understand a song to love it...
Ambition: Chiquitita in Spanish. Dis I tell u I know how to sing the 1st 2 lines in Spanish? Took a LOT of net surfing to find out how to pronounce, but yeah :D
