Anyone else a fan of the Japanese language in music?

I've noticed, at least to me, that Japanese songs very good in music. Here are some of my favorite example:

Listened briefly to each. No, I don't think I could - I like to sing along.

I'm not keen on music with lyrics, so not Japanese language per se. But I listen to 'oriental chillstep' which includes lots of Japanese tracks. I also love the music in the film Memoirs of a Geisha, which is set in Japan. Not sure if that counts!

I don't mind some Japanese songs - including the various intro songs to anime.

Here's two Japanese songs that I like:

"Future" by Megumi Kobayashi (Rebirth of Mothra III theme)

"Myth" by Bakufu Slump (Gamera: Guardian of the Universe theme)

Yes, but only when performed by Turkish Military Bands.

 

[BrokenBoy]

This is the Flower of Carnage as used in the first Kill Bill

I have discovered japanese with anime and I have to say that this is the foreign langage I like the most ( even if i dont understand any of it.)

So there are many anime song that I realy like.

Lets start with one matching my current avatar hehe :

It's a spoiler free video ( this is a manga/anime for adult with violent content) , but pls read this manga if you don't know berserk, this is the best one EVER.

I am not into japanese music culture at all, but I guess sometimes some trendy artists must sing some anime openings, i guess.

I know most Japanese music through anime too, so my opinions are colored by that. Since most of it I've listened to is some form of J-pop...no. There are some good creative stuff (theme song to Neo Rainga is great!), I can't say I'm overly fond of it.

Though I do love Samurai movies, and someone screaming angrily in Japanese is always fun!

For music, though, I'd prefer Finnish...

I don't tend to listen to Japanese music, but I listen to quite a bit of Korean music.
