I personally love J-Pop. A bit of J-Rock, but the pop is better. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I occasionaly listen to Nena and Rammstein in german (woot for weirdness); and Tatu in russian (but I understand to little russian to really understand it word for word). Those are all...really old now though. My media study project in high school (well, one of them) was making a radio station. I madea foreign language station. The teacher said in 16 years of teaching he'd never gotten one...see if I can find the file with the songs...

    Bah, no idea where it went.
    Here's some of the german and russian ones:

    Engel - Rammstein
    Es Regnet - Nena
    Vollmond - Nena
    ? (Fragezeichen) - Nena

    And since this forum doesn't support cyrillic, they'll be english equivalents:
    Ya Soshla s Uma - Tatu (there's the normal "All the things she said" music....and a ...techno version)
    30 Minut - Tatu (Hey, the lyrics have a nice quality and point to them)
    There are some more, but pffft, just look at the CD, or Kazaa.

    There was a japanese one that sounded nice, and I had no idea what the lady was singing, but whatever.


    I went to a german forum and heard of some Fettes Brot band...downloaded a song and it can only be described as <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    Na man, they all from , like Essex innit?

    Saw them live, "T in the Park '96"

    Fluffing amazing live, the bass made your internal organs rattle, but in a good way.. I've never seen a man in a kilt inside a giant hamster ball before either... <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I love "foreign" music. Be it J-Rock like Dir En Grey, Malice Mizer, etc to J-Pop (Aiko, Triceratops, etc) to crazy-arsed Eurobeat (Bazooka Girls, MAX, Franz "Mad Cow" Tornado, etc). Ontop of that i listen to quite a bit of Norwegian black metal, trance from around the world, German punk and industrial. To finish it all off, Devil Doll are Italian (apparently) and they're probably one of my favourite 'bands' ever.

    Now: Isn't that a bit too ethnocentric view -- english being the foreign language?

    But yes, I listen to music where the lyrics aren't in english, and I listen to music from around the world. For example Godspeed You Black Emperor! (Canada), Sigur Rós (Iceland), Motorpsycho (Norway), Håkan Hellström (Sweeden) and Lacuna Coil (Italy).

    Rammstein - Sonne is the sh*t. Büch Dich isn't bad either.

    bück dich - befehl ich dir
    wende dein Antlitz ab von mir
    dein Gesicht ist mir egal
    bück dich
    ein Zweibeiner auf allen Vieren
    ich führe ihn spazieren
    im Passgang - den Flur entlang
    ich bin enttäuscht
    jetzt kommt er rückwärts mir entgegen
    honig bleibt am Strumpfband kleben
    ich bin enttäuscht, total enttäuscht

    bück dich...

    Pfft, "Innit"'s more of a London term than Essex.

    I listen to a good deal of Japanese Ska like Potshot, Snail Ramp, Young Punch, and the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. Some very fun music, like Californian ska but with integrity.

    I also listen to a lot of British punk/ska The Adicts, Madness, Capdown, The Specials, etc. And most of the classic rock is British (obviously) Pink Floyd, The Who (one of the best rock bands of all time), The Kinks, etc.

    And I also happen to love Django Rhinehardt since he is the greatest guitar player ever, and he was European though I forget where exactly.

    Rammstein and anime intros (heh, exactly the same as nearly every other post in this thread <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->).

    I've also got this CD of a little band from Australia called YidCore. What they've done is taken a bunch of classic Jewish songs and punk-rockified them, and if you're very very very used to the originals (as I am) it's highly amusing. They're like rocking out to various prayers and chants and stuff. Really funny. Anyway, some of the songs are in Hebrew, so... that kinda counts as foreign, doesn't it? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I listen mostly to Japanese heavy metal and industrial rock stuff. I'm not exactly a fan of J-pop, but I'm kind of stuck listening to it when I go to buy my groceries and such. -_-;;

    In terms of music where I -don't- understand the language, Rammstein. <3 There's also a few .. I'm not sure what you call it, I guess "church" music? Sung by choir... and that's in Latin, and some in Italian. ^^

    Rammstein, I got the Mutter, Sehnsucht and *checks playlist* Herzeleid albums.

    TaTu, I got all the Russian songs I could find off 200 km/h(Ya Shosla S Uma, 30 Minutes, Nas Ne Dagoniat, I'm Not Your First {english name obviously})

    Not having K-Lite access, I don't have much else...

    but if you want the ultimate Foreign Language, I listen to Carmina Burana. Now that's cool. and I understand parts of it.

    Oh yea, I heard that one shakira song in spanish, back in the day (yep, yep, a whole year ago....ohh, those were the days...). I don't know spanish, so I guess that could sorta count.

    I'd be interested to know if anyone from Europe or Asia listens to American country music ...blech <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .
