It's not weird at all. I like every kind of languages, as long as their music fine. And so far, i like korean, mandarin and japanese language the most. Of course, i like their music as well. Don't know what they are saying, but still like it..LOL. When i got really curious about the meaning, i start searching for translation. And without you know it, you actually learn those language...

[*yongha^^*]

nope i don't think it's odd if your listening to a song that ain't your native language
i'm eurasian (german,irish,japanese,korean) to be exact and i really enjoy listening pop music from various countries, i really don't care in which language the artists are singin the main thing is that a song im listening to has catchy tune interesting rhythm/beat/vocal

[xxctxx]

I listen to Korean and Japanese music and i don't understand it...but I don't think it's weird!
Music is Music! ~<3 If it sounds good then that's all that matters to me!
I tend to just ignore ppl who think it's weird...at the end of the day it's me who's listening and not them...

[波斯猫]

I love listening to music from other countries and I think it's really cool, but other people tell me it's weird. People always ask me why I listen to international music, but I don't really know what to tell them. I just listen to anything I like, I don't care what language it's in.

[angelic_betrayal]

LOL... at first I thought it was a bit weird to listen to Korean music since I'm Chinese... But then, hey! It's so good, why not? I'm trying to learn some of the language and I just sing along with the words cuz I can sound out a lot of it... Not perfect of course... Far from it, but who cares? And dressing like another culture? Dressing the language? What does that mean? Well, I'm thinking of literally dressing.. like fobby fashion and stuff. I find Taiwanese clothes and stuff to be similar to Korean fashion... only I see Korean fashion more around here, obviously.

Well, anyway, I think it doesnt matter if you understand teh language or not.. cuz I'm Chinese but not Mandarin so I listen to a lot of Mandarin songs but I barely understand it... some but not ALL... so yea... we are not weird XD

[SwtMsT]

no...some people just don't GET it...
Music isn't only about words...not at all.

[yoonay]

Nope, I don't think so. I'm Korean and I listen to Chinese, Japanese, and English.
And plus, tons of people in soompi listen to music in languages that they can't speak or understand.

[Poetic_Goofy]

I don´t think it´s weird at all

I listen to korean, japanese, chinese songs/dramas/movies and well, for the movies I got subs but the songs, mostly I don´t know what they are sining about. It´s the small english phrases who tells me if it´s a love song or whatever Really, I don´t even know a lot of DBSKs songs meaning. (my fav band)

But then again, even if I listen to english, I still don´t know what they are saying at most. Like that shakira song "Underneath your clothes"... I always thought she sang "I don´t need your clothes" (ok, I have a slightly bad hearing and english isn´t my first language ^^)

I have this friend of mine who LOVES josh groban, but she refused to listen to any songs were he didn´t sing in english... like his italian songs... I could´nt really understand it. She couldn´t hear what he was singing in english anyway xD Another friend of mine started listen to one of my songs and I could see that she liked it, but then she went...hey, I can´t understand this! Change the song!....


I think it´s a matter of getting used to it I thought it was a bit weird at first but now it´s the most normal thing in the world

[YEHJIN.]

im korean but i listen to the inu-yasha best-of soundtrack in japanese all the time xD
and i listen to jay chou's november chopin a lot, too. its not weird - but kinda soothing, in a way. xD;;

[vc1188]

It's 2007 and we're living in a very multicultural and globalized society. I don't understand how it's weird o_O

[13!hyukjae]

I'm chinese but I only listen to JK music and my mother is always telling me to start listening to chinese or english songs since it's in a language I know.

[kristerraaa]

i find it really normal. but some people think its weird i listen to korean,thai,mandrin, and japanese music even though im filipino. plus alot of filipinos listen to korean music plus english music is so graphic or makes no sense to me.i like the fact i enjoy the song and i dont have to really get what they are signing.plus i think its fun to sing along (:

[darkangel1992]

Of Course its NOT weird to listen to other languages even if you don't understand them! Listening to other countries languages can help you learn about their culture in a way! I'm Vietnamese but I listen to American, Korean, Japanese, Chinese( mandarin + Cantonese), Taiwanese, french, and many other languages!!! Its cool!!!

[...MoMcMaster<3...]

I don't think it is weird at all. i am american and i HATE american music. it is like so dirty. i like to listen to korean japanese chinese taiwanese and like tons of other languages. my friends think it is weird and stuff but that is their problem. i think it makes people more rounded.

[sky.xo]

it's okay, i don't really do it so much anymore though.

[melah]

haha it's the only thing i do. my ipod is full of japanese and korean songs, w/ maybe 3 english songs and some chinese. i don't really care if other ppl think it's weird, as long as it sounds good. :]

[ginger]

Definitely not! I listen to Korean, Japanese, and Spanish music all the time.

-ginger

[hippiehop]

I speak English and Mandarin...

I listen to: English, Mando, Canto, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French.... really anything I can get my hands on.

[STEPHOO--]

I don't think it's weird at all.
I'm filipina but listen to Japanese & Korean songs. lol .
I guess it's important that you actually 'feel' the song, though you can't understand it. That's pretty much what makes me keep listening to songs from other ethnicities.

[~lin~]

I don't think it's werid at all but people like my friends who are not into other culture music thinks I'm a werido.
I look at music as an art, even though I don't understand it, the melody tells me what the song is all about and so I don't really have to know the lyrics and if I do happend to find out what the lyrics mean, that's even better.
For a very long time american music has bored the crap out of me. I started listening to other music back in the 90's...
It started off with Thai music. I got hooked on Thai music for a while, then I got hooked on Hindi music to Korean music.

I like to try something new and do something different... Why be normal???
