Enjoyment Through Interpretation

Postby The_Digital_Phoenix » Mon Aug 19, 2002 10:20 pm

Any of you listen to Japanese music? I do. I have a lot of it. And I enjoy it almost more than music with English lyrics. I don't know the meaning of the words I'm hearing - nor do I want to know. I much rather enjoy listening to the way in which the singer sings and drawing my own conclusions as to what the song is about.

Anyone else do this?

Oh, and the Akira Soundtrack is pure musical genius. Especially the song "Tetsuo." Absolutely beautiful.

Yes, Of course I do. I am really enjoying the Yu-Gi-Oh music, too.

Anime music and Jpop, both occupy a small part of my MP3 collection. Definitely good stuff even without being able to understand the lyrics.

Actually, about three fourths of my music is non-English. Don't understand most of it... but I do look up translations for each and every song, to make sure I don't blast something at people that would be extremely offensive (even though people do it from cars all the time anyway :evil: )

I have grown quite fond of J-punk and J-rock (Luna Sea, Dragon Ash early songs, MCM, Vasalla, Walrus...)

Anyone ever listen to the Japanese Cardcaptor Sakura music? Very good stuff.

Speaking of Sakura, why'd you change your avatar Ryan? I miss your old one :cry:

:idea: Could you send me the full picture? I don't have nearly enough Sakura pics.

I have many Anime and J-pop songs on my computer. Some of them I'm even able to sing along to but as for knowing what the hell they mean... beats me.

Yup yup. I've got Engel practically memorized (without music even O_O)

Some of my jpunk I can sing along with fairly well.
