| I don't really have a preference. I love some Japanese music but I also dislike some, in the same way that I can really like some of a band's songs but downright hate others. Also, a thing I like about listening to things in other languages is that you don't have to hang on every word, and you can interpret them in your own way. If you don't understand the words it kind of makes you look deeper into the actual sound of it, you know? |
| Japanese of course!!!XD Just don't let my friends know....*shhhhhh*DX |
     |
| I've been into English music wayyyy before I became hooked on anime. =/ Japanese music is good,yes,but it's no substitute for...let's say bands like Depeche Mode,Muse,Placebo... At least for me. Baman said: I did find an all female Japanese doom metal band though. Fancy that. I'm intrigued. |
ladyxzeus said: Haha we could enter a pretty nifty discussion on the Visual movement but let's not. xD Or else I'll have to enter my prophetic mode and people get scared with it *__* I love it as well and a certain someone holds the shares of 90% of my MP3 =p [off topic] Eurovision is just... Eurovision. I don't think nobody knows its objective anymore. I'm not sure if it's a political movement of any sort, but what I'm sure is that the organizer countries always get in with horrid music. xD I tend to beleive that colder countries win more (Sweden ftw. Abba ftw!) because they stay at home while the program runs and actually watch it. xD Btw the winner 2 years ago, or last year, wasn't France? With a metal band that had skater zombies on the videoclip. xD XDXD yes i dont want a prophetic hammer coming at me ; ) Also, just a general question. Does anyone know bands that blend japanese rock with more classical japanese themes? (a la Kagrra?). off-topic (yes for the last time) Abba won like 40 years ago, but i dont believe a single west european country has won eurovision in the last 10 years (except for greece). The metal band you're refering to was from Finalnd, russia won this year (your cold country theory might actually be true XD).. |
| I dunno why, but I've like 250 english songs, and 20 japanese songs.(anime) But I prefer japanese songs, and skip the english ones when I listen to my MP3 O_O Maybe it's the "happy" feeling that returns to me when I listen to the openings/endings :) I prefer remix'ed/techno'ed anime op/endings, so I've an excuse if my friends are like my "wtf are u listning to child music" xD |

Not that I'm a fan of the genre, but a female leading vocals in such a thing intrigues me greatly and I would like to learn more. No idea if that's what Baman refers too, and not sure if they can really be called doom metal (genres never was my forte), but exist†trace is very dark, all-female, japanese and pretty okay. On topic: What of all other languages, and instrumentals? Well, not that I care. |

| I like Japanese music better. In fact, I hardly listen to English music at all anymore. I'm just drawn to it. |
| Japanesse easy choice. |
 |
| Even though I speak English, Jap is better. |
 |
| A little of both is fine by me :3 |
 |
| English, plz. I like Japanese, though, but I prefer to understand lyrics. (: |

| I love them all the same!XD |
     |
| I'm leaning a lot more towards Anime J-pop, so not just any commercial Japanese music. My collection, Last.fm records, iPod, iTunes playlists, all anime Jpop. =\ I really need to start collecting more American pop stuff here. |
 |
| Well as long as the song is something i like it does not matte for me from what country it is. But if i have to choose between those two i think i will take Japanese not because the music is better or anything is just that English are too simple while Japanese are a more rich language so i find it more attractive. |
| I prefer music in languages that are not my own. That includes Japanese. Especially Japanese. English? Not only does it not seem special or whatever because I speak it. But English is everywhere. I don't wanna support the spread of an already overrated language. But I listen to music more than anything based on sound. And language is just a part of that sound. Italic are some of my least favorite languages, language wise. But loads of my favorite artists sing in Spanish or French. |

| I listen to both. Boa, The Delgados are pure english genius, shame they went bust. Porcupine tree rock too. As for japanese, pretty much any anime song I come across that isnt gay like the "you are my friend" naruto one |

| English music. I can understand it better and I like the general sounds overall. I do like Japanese music, but I just don't think it compares to English music. And one of my pet peeves are the people who ONLY listen to Japanese music, but aren't Japanese. I knew this one girl she does not listen to our own music at all! You are missing out on great music! |
Kuyukly said: Languages can be overrated now?! It's the currently most spoken language in the world. While others are going extinct. And it's only continuing to grow. That's the way I see it. remenescent said: people who ONLY listen to Japanese music, but aren't Japanese. Now what the fuck does that have to do with it? So it's okay for a Japanese to only listen to Japanese music? Man fuck anyone who only does things from their culture. Fuck them with a big old scalding hot iron rod. |

ukonkivi said: Kuyukly said: Languages can be overrated now?! It's the currently most spoken language in the world. While others are going extinct. And it's only continuing to grow. That's the way I see it. False. The most commonly spoken language in the world is Mandarin Chinese, and I seriously don't see English destroying every other language anytime in the next several thousand years, if that. Anyway, this is getting off-topic, lol. ukonkivi said: remenescent said: people who ONLY listen to Japanese music, but aren't Japanese. No what the fuck does that have to do with it?

I would agree with this, except I think remenescent is referring to people who deliberately refuse to give anything that isn't Japanese a try. |

     |

| lol |
| Jap ~! Jrock =D The Gazette is love ^^ |
| credits to uebo14 @ livejournal for my avi // |
| I like both |
 |
| i listen to european music mostly |
| |
| Most of the music I listen on my iPod these days are Japanese anime songs. Besides that, I dislike most contemporary American rap/hip-hop/R&B. |
| Depends on my mood. Usually English because I personally listen to lyrics when I am listening to music. :D Japanese music for its beat and stuff.. usually it's happy go lucky so I'll listen to it when I need that extra boost. |
