I remember I use to hide it from them I knew they wouldn't care just didn't want to be hassled several years back, its funny even now they never found out.

I think they think I'm a bit strange, but my mom doesn't care for mainstream music anyway and my dad can't say anything because he has some enka tapes around that he listens to every now and then. I dunno about my brother or sister, though. They might not even know I listen to it ^^;;

NEVER put the opening theme tune to "Pani poni dash" on your mp3. Never.

Although there are some good anime OST's out there.

Not really. I try to keep in in my headphones generally since a lot of my family hates Japs.

Not at all, my mom could care less, i did play it at my old job when we listened to music on the computer in the back room and they'd give me a "wtf" look. I played everything from Miki Matsubara to Utada to Mucc. The manager hated it but the women i worked with enjoyed it oddly enough.

No they don't. Although my sister (who also likes anime) used to get annoyed when I listened to it.

The friends who borrow my Ipod at school usually go through my music and laugh about it, then tell me that I listen to some weird shit later. ;__;
My mom doesn't care, and my brother listens to weirder stuff, so his teasing doesn't count.

They would if I ever let them hear me listening to it. Headphones are a great invention.

No actually they don't care.
My dad only gets annoyed when I play the ending & openings to every anime I watch over & over & over again. He'd perfer just to watch the anime.
As for my extended family they look at me weird.

My mother did occasionally when the lyrics were particularly unusual. But most of the time she wouldn't care. Not that I've lived with family for a long time so haven't had to worry about it save for sporadic visits.

I listen to so much different music that my mom can not really say much for the anime related stuff. My musical tastes range from metal to jazz to j rock or pop to trance/speedcore/industrial/eurobeat in the techno area and even some rap mixed in. Some rap that I listen to is not in english either such as Bushido. There is also all of the korean stuff like Nell and MC the Max. I love variety when it comes to music :D.

I can't imagine they would. They don't say anything bad about my game music remixes, and even enjoy them, while knowing what they are. Not sure if they've heard any of my anime stuff though.

Yes.
Once I was watching a Carmelldansen video and I accidentally pulled my headphones out. Everyone looked at me weird and it was embarrassing.
Now I use masking tape just to be sure they stay in

I generally don't let anyone hear what music I listen to. But my mom has heard some. She says that some of it sounds like Filipino music. When I think about it, lots of Asian pop stuff does seem to sound the same, or at least use similar beats and rhythms.

As for weird looks, no.

They don't really care. They have their music and I have mine, that's all there is to it as long as we won't make each other listen to stuff we don't really care for hearing.

Although, if I start playing my J-music CD when we're in the car together I get some nasty remarks. I rarely do that, though, I prefer listening to them when driving alone.

Your mom is a bitch.

Also why do people care if music somebody listens to is in a foreign language?

I dunno to be honest, but one time I was in the living room with my mom she was watching TV and I was playing an anime music video on my laptop and I was using a headset but I unplugged it by an accident and the sound was really loud so my mom freaked out! LOL She was "What the fuck was that"? LMAO! But seriously though my parents don't mind me listening to anything. I love my parents cause they're better than yours. :P

I don't listen to much japanese music besides Nujabes really, and there's rarely words in his music anyways. But the few I do have, everyone in my house despises. Besides my brother. He's the only one smart enough to realize good music's good regardless of where it's from, apparently.
