I luv Korean, Chinese, and Japanese music, but I hav no idea wat the artist is singing/sayin, cuz I'm viet. Just wanted 2 see if there r people lik me out there who love music u don't understand. If it wasn't 4 Mvs, I'd be clueless.

yeah i listen to rain n se7en, and pretty much all their songs i dont understand

hehaheaheha i think majority of us do that, especially with korean/japanese/mandarin music. So i usually just go for the melody i do that for english songs too!!

Eventhough I'm Chinese, some Chinese songs have lyrics with deep meanings that I don't understand. But as long as the songs sound nice, I'll go for them. Nevertheless, being able to understand the song can cause me to like the song more, especially if it is meaningful.

yeah of course i mean i know spoken cantonese but canto songs i only understand some i listen to mandarin songs as well as japanese and i dont really understand em! maybe the odd word

Me too. I listen to all kinds of languages korean jap and chinese except for my own mother tongue
language. Whenever my friends listen to my mp3 they will go like what kind of music are you listening to.
But listening to other languages which you dont understand a thing is cool. I just love the sound of the languages.

I listen to only Asian music and I`m english. Many people listen to Italian/Spanish music, so really not much difference. You listen more to the emotion of the music when you can`t understand the words. Mandarin is just so beautiful to listen to.

i say not understanding and liking what youre listening to is better than agonizing yourself with some you understand and dont like. like that...

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
WITH A SODA ON THE SIDE song... ugh. terrible

OMG, I totalli agree with u. Sometimes it's better 2 not understand the lyrics. I listen to music bcuz of the melody and feel of the song. Don't even listen 2 viet or English songs anymore cuz the viet songs I lik r always remakes from Korean and Chinese songs.

Yeah. I have no idea what half of the chinese songs mean. Unless i read the lyrics, i'll have no idea what i'm listening to. I listen to Japanese, Korean... songs and obviously i have no clue what the singer is singing.

I feel that s'long as you like the song, the meaning doesnt really matter.

yeah even though i can't understand the whole meaning of the lyrics I still listen to those songs that I can't understand just because I dig chinese , korean and japanese songs.

i'm not good in mandarin but i still listen to it because i like how the music sounds

no way!!!

music for me one way of communicating and expressing one's thoughts. how can i do that if i dont understand it?

I do all the time but I try to find the lyrics and translations for them, the songs sound so much sweeter when you know what they are singing about.

i normally listen to the songs(melody) that i think it's good...i don't really pay attention to the lyric or the meaning of the song lo..

well ya... mandarin... is the language that i dont understand and i still listen to it XDD

yes i am poor too. was born in austria, so my cantonese is not that quiet good. can understand a few things, but when i listen to canto music the only think i understand is "ngoi nei". mando, korean, japanese music i also listen and dont get anything. german music sucks so i just understand english

help me

even though i'm chinese, i have a super hard time understanding the deep meanings of lyrics...i'm cbc, so i can't read chinese well enough and understand the meaning right away...but it helps to know what the singers are singing about, it makes the song more enjoyable...most of the songs that i like are because i understand the meaning of it...however, i do listen to japanese and korean stuff too just because it sounds so good...but like someone said, sometimes not knowing what the singer is talking about can be a blessing...case in point: Nelly Furtado's maneater and Fergie's fergalicious...god those are horrible songs..the lyrics make no sense...

hellz yeah, korean and japanese...shoot, mandarin as well...=)

yup! japanese songs!!! Lead!!! and yamapi!!!
half the time i don't even know what they're singing!!
ohwells, their songs are really good!
and as long as they're good, i'm fine with it! (:

I don't understand a single word of mandarin but I do listen to some mandarin music. Some mandarin music that I like, I cannot find cantonese versions to them

I am not good with manderian and i still listen to manderian musics. I would prefer cantonese but if theres manderian i still would listen to it. I tried listening to seven.i liked it...but i didnt understand it.

I like listening to mandarin music but i don't really understand them.
However, by listening to them help me to learn mandarin which i am currently learning just now! I think this way is very helpful.

Yeah..Japanese xD But even if I listen to Chinese & Burmese songs (cuz I'm chinese but my family speaks burmese) I don't understand what they say.

for me, i'm chinese.. but sometimes, when i listen to chinese songs, i won't totally understand what's the song singing about.. especially jay chou's songs.. the words are very difficult and the sentences is not commonly used in simple life.. but i still like it.. besides that, i also listen to japanese & korean music recently.. what attract me most is their melody.. sometimes, it did encourage me to learn their language and figure what they are singing.. i do try to sing even though i don't understand what they are singing..

Well I mostly listen to Chinese music...you know Mandarin and Cantonese...I don't really understand everything they say but I have an idea. As long as the melody or beat is good I'd listen to it even if I don't understand it hehe

im chinese and i love cantonese songs but i also love korean and japanese songs. i dont really understand them

haha....I listen to songs I don't understand.....I'm Chinese but I listen to Korean songs and Mandarin songs...there are also some Cantonese songs I don't understand but it doesn't really matter if you don't understand what they're saying as long as you enjoy the music it's all good ^^

my ninja skills kick ass : lol i agree wif u/...as long as its good lol..sometimes i get it...i listen to both chinky and korean...dont understand lol so i just search up translations...i feel such a disgrace lol

^ ahahahahahaha......I search for the translations too =P......but theres just so many songs that I don't always remember the translations for 'em....lol....

I usually listen to music I don't understand like korean, japanese and chinese but I always try to find the lyrics with translations so I still know what they're singing about ^.^

I listen to loads of Chinese music and I don't really understand what they are saying. Despite that I speak the same language, I don't understand what they are saying =D they just sound good

i do. i listen to asian music, mostly canto and mando a little bit of jap and korean. i dont even understand any of the music except a few lines/words of canto and mando.

I love Asian music =D
I listen to Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean
And I don't understand Mandarin or Korean >.<
And a little of Cantonese because I'm an ABC xD
Yeah I search for the translations lols xD
I just love the rhythm/tune =] and most likely the singer xD

Yeah I still listen to K-pop & J-pop though I can't understand wat they are singing . But it's not a matter wit me . I like the music !!!!!!!!

I listen to korean (SE7EN and BoA ) and Cantonese (Janice)
Which i completely dont understand
But other than them , i mainly listen to Taiwanese and Chinese Mandarin music.

Lol... Like everyday actually >.</

I like to listen to Jpop and Cpop. I don't understand it either Cause i'm also Viet. The reason why I don't want to listen to Viet music is that I don't really like their popmusic >.<

I listen to Kpop everyday 24/7. But I don't understand much at all even though I am learning right now.

Good thing I am certainly not the only one!

I know Canto and English and I dont like the songs from either!! I like Mandarin, Korean and sometimes Japanese music...Wish I knew what they were saying though...

occassionally i listen to jap songs, and i don't know a word of it.
those that i listen to are mostly theme songs from animes anyway

I do but I usually look around for the trnalsation (ant the lyric, with the romanization if it's an asian gons, because I have the habit to learn the text so I can sing the gons)

for me its more about the melody..
most songs like chinese, japan, korean i dont even understand but if the melody is nice then i like itt

always. i always go for the tune not the lyrics, but i often look for lyrics just to see what they mean!

half of wat comes out of jay chou's mouth i don understand lol but hey.. i still like him

yeah i listen to like japanese music, korean, and mandarin. haha i listen to it like i really understand what they say XD but they sound so good !!!

i think it is really stupid to hear music that you dont even understand. there is simply no point. that is why i never listen to the japanese and korean music

I am american and I listen to japanese and korean music. I can't understand a word of it but thankfully I manage to get some translations from this board and another board. It doesn't bother me that I don't understand a word of it because I can get the translations. One of my favorites is Rurutia. She has a beautiful voice and her music is amazing. A friend and I download some of the songs we hear on the korean dramas we watch because we really enjoy the music.

^^ OF COURSE!!! I don't think you have to be able to understand what they're saying as long as you enjoy the music. After all, music is a universal language as they say. =] I know some people don't think this way, but hey... *shrugs* Why do a lot of people listen to classical music? There isn't anyone even singing in them but a lot of people all over the world listen to it. I think people need to widen their horizons a bit and experience some new music. Listen even if you can't understand. You'll learn to love it. xD Hehehe...

even though i don't understand what the song is on about, the tune is still good. it's actually fun listening to other languages.
