i'm curious, and I know that strictly speaking this is kind of off topic, but anyway: how much of the lyrics do you understand, and how does your understanding of them effect your enjoyment of the songs?

I can relate to this question, also. I have up until recently spoken very little and understood very little spanish, but I have always loved latin music just as much as anything else. Mainly because I do not focus on the lyrics, but instead the instrumentation in songs, and also because the music and the voice gets to me in a certain way and makes my soul move....I honestly think some of it may be in my blood. Maybe Meryl feels the same way about songs sung in Japanese.

Hey meryl... may I ask if you are familiar with any japanese metal bands? I've heard there are some really good ones but I've never had a chance to listen to them. Anything from heavy metal to all out brutal death metal Oh, and I've heard some of the best ambient and industrial and techno also hails outta Japan! I don't think I'd be much into J-pop, but the others, definately. Then again, it's possible a country other than the US might have a superior form of pop music that I'm not familiar with.

Thanks ahead, chica!
