I listen to Japanese music but I'm also learning Japanese
But music shouldn't be relied upon for learning Japanese because the pitch accent can be changed and wording is not standard in music because it can be changed to fit with the song
It can also be hard to hear words clearly unless you know them
Id personally consider foreign music you don't understand to be instrumental only music like the voice was an musical instrument which it can technically be considered a musical instrument
Kpop girls are usually hot though. So great MVs at least.
And why do you think they are hot ?
Trying to figure out the intentions behind your comment
Recently I watched the Kneecap. A biopic of a north Irish hip hop / rap band, performing in Irish and English. Now they have entered my playlist.
Some non-English music I enjoy, though not at the same time:
Lisa Ekdahl - Vem Vet (Swedish) Nice catchy Swedish tune, maybe jazz?
Samain et Shuait - Les Nomades (French and Anishinaabe) First Nations hip-hop
Gwenno - Chwyldro (Kernewek) Folky dreamscapes in a functionally extinct language (they're bringing it back, though).
Moonchild Sanelly - Gwara Gwara (English and Xitsonga) Pop-funk-dance mixing international and indigenous traditions.
Majid Soula - Win Terram (Tamazight) Electronic beats from a Berber.
Jacques Dutronc - On nous Cache Tout, on nous Tout de Rein (French) A classic of French rock and roll.
Manu Negra - Mala Vida (Spanish) Punk styled music by folks who like their anarchist forebears.
San Salvador - Quau te Mena(Occitan) Occitanian folk traditions given new life.
TUDI-VOICE - ε‘δ»δ½ ηη₯ (Hokkien) - Socially active Taiwanese band in Chinese folk tradition with a modern spin.
Beyond - Glorious Years (Hong Kong Cantonese) Cantopop legends.
Sorry for the YouTube links.
WFMU (a radio station in New Jersey) has a weekly show on one of its web streams. It's called Continental Subway, presented by an American called David Dichelle, who lives in Germany.
He plays all kinds of music in many different languages, as well as different versions of folk songs in English - he's working through the Roud Folksong Index and has reached Roud 350, The Topman and the Afterguard / The Sailor and the Soldier. However, most of what he plays isn't in English and as well as music from many different countries each week he will play 8 or 10 songs from a particular country chosen at random. This week it was Chad.
Very highly recommended, not least because all the shows back to 2017 are archived, so you can listen again when you want, and it's listener supported so there are no adverts. Links to all the shows and playlists here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/CW
Hey thanks for this rec, I love 7 second delay and HTRG already (and The Blues x3 when I can catch it but there's no RSS feed I can find), WFMU rules I'll def check this out.
The German version was #1 in America. The English version was #1 in Germany.
Guess the song?
99 Luftballoons?
checks link Yes!
I've got a pet peeve of spotting French ads using English language songs that they would never think of using if most people listened to and/or understood the lyrics.
Some examples :
A car manufacturer using the same song for decades, Johnny and Mary. Hard to tell who the song is really about, but it's clearly about a broken, quite unhappy and mentally unstable couple.
A big mart chain using Prayer in C in its happy, "let's be optimistic" clips.
And see the children are starving / And their houses were destroyed / Don't think they could forgive you
Hey, when seas will cover lands / And when men will be no more / Don't think you can forgive you
A perfume ad with Sia's Chandelier blaring out. Yeah, suicide by booze, definitely what I want to feel classy.

Loved them in the 90s through early 2000s when I was in my teens. Including the extended family like PIG, En Esch, and Skold. Last decade and a half have been meh.
Though I'm pretty sure everybody has fondness for the music they liked from teens through early 20s.
I think your German name is backwards
It's better than the best.
