Foreign Language Songs (other than English)

My friends Swinging Popsicle from years ago... Still love listening to their stuff. In the years since I left Japan it seems they've become pretty popular for an animation theme... Mineko has the most gorgeous voice.

I just love this song. The lyrics are there and are pretty good but it's interesting that some words just don't translate with the same feeling. e.g. "tsutsumikomu" is translated as "hug" but literally it would be "enfold" which is a beautiful image for the song.

L'ultima Notte - Josh Groban (this one literally had me crying in a corner for weeks)

Don't understand any of it, but veljiää has to be my favorite word in Finnish now.

 

[Astroganga]

This is quite catchy. It is Danish. What I like about Danish songs is, that unlike the everyday spoken language, in most songs they enunciate all words perfectly.

Hoo boy this takes me back.

Always loved this funny video, not least for the sensory overload scene in the middle.

A mix of English and French, with another funny video.

Rammstein is awesome

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is my favourite Japanese singer. Her videos are so weird and cute
