MODERATORS
Artist is biased against k-pop.
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
I'm also trying to learn Japanese. I've been enjoying Atarashii Gakko. Any other musical recommendations?
Kpop girls are usually hot though. So great MVs at least.
I listen to music for sounds. I don't listen to music to look.

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 - ๅกไปไฝ ็็ฅ (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.
Yes, I imagine listening to all of this at the same time would be rather unpleasant.
๐ I'll set 'em up, you knock' em down.
This is just an awesome list- thanks!
God, I can hear this gif so well. One of my favorite songs/music videos.

The German version was #1 in America. The English version was #1 in Germany.
Guess the song?
99 Luftballoons?
checks link Yes!
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.
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
WFMU is a great radio station, anyone can listen to online, for free, without ads. There are so many great shows, something for everyone.
Their schedule:
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.
Excellent, you already know about WFMU! I need to listen to more shows - mostly I just stick to This is the Modern World and sometimes Clay Pigeon on the main broadcast channel, plus Irene Trudel and Continental Subway on the Drummer stream, but there's so much more on there it makes my head spin.
I hope you get the help we need. :)
Go to hell! :D
TBF English is an extremely common second language, so listening to English-language music as a German or French person doesn't have quite the same impact as an American listening to German- or French-language music.
Du hast..
I do listen to Rammstein despite being mostly only English speaking. I'm picking up more and more of the the lyrics in the songs and what they mean.

I never got on the K-Pop train, but I do genuinely like a few vibey tracks by Neon Bunny, K-Soul artist.
But I love when native languages are mixed with English, especially in metal, as in the case of this tremendous anthem to the joys of food
LOL!
My short story about foeeign music
Wife and 6-year-old get back from dance class:
6yo: I want to add that song we heard in the car to my playlist
Wife: oh what was that song again
Me: do you remember any words, we can search for it
6yo: no Wife: no
Me: what station was it on?
Wife: satellite, TikTok radio
Me: ohh ok, I guess we just need to wait or maybe if you find it on TikTok...
Days go by
Wife: It came on in the car but the title of the song was all weird characters
Me: was it like little stick figures or big slashes or just weird drawn characters?
Wife: just wierd
Me: Google: Russian songs on tik Tok
Moreart
Ohh!
I listen to it. It absolutely slaps
Google then mentions controversy
Then I translate the song's name.
LMAO. 'I will fuck"
Then I go to look for lyric translations
It's so fucking cringe and not in a naughty or dirty way, it's just lame cringe.
The beat of the music still slap though.
