I listen to Japanese music but I'm also learning Japanese

But music shouldn't be relied upon for learning Japanese because the pitch accent can be changed and wording is not standard in music because it can be changed to fit with the song

It can also be hard to hear words clearly unless you know them

Id personally consider foreign music you don't understand to be instrumental only music like the voice was an musical instrument which it can technically be considered a musical instrument

Kpop girls are usually hot though. So great MVs at least.

I listen to music for sounds. I don't listen to music to look.

I never got on the K-Pop train, but I do genuinely like a few vibey tracks by Neon Bunny, K-Soul artist.

But I love when native languages are mixed with English, especially in metal, as in the case of this tremendous anthem to the joys of food

Recently I watched the Kneecap. A biopic of a north Irish hip hop / rap band, performing in Irish and English. Now they have entered my playlist.

WFMU (a radio station in New Jersey) has a weekly show on one of its web streams. It's called Continental Subway, presented by an American called David Dichelle, who lives in Germany.

He plays all kinds of music in many different languages, as well as different versions of folk songs in English - he's working through the Roud Folksong Index and has reached Roud 350, The Topman and the Afterguard / The Sailor and the Soldier. However, most of what he plays isn't in English and as well as music from many different countries each week he will play 8 or 10 songs from a particular country chosen at random. This week it was Chad.

Very highly recommended, not least because all the shows back to 2017 are archived, so you can listen again when you want, and it's listener supported so there are no adverts. Links to all the shows and playlists here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/CW

WFMU is a great radio station, anyone can listen to online, for free, without ads. There are so many great shows, something for everyone.

Their schedule:

Hey thanks for this rec, I love 7 second delay and HTRG already (and The Blues x3 when I can catch it but there's no RSS feed I can find), WFMU rules I'll def check this out.

[โ€“] BillTongg@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago

Excellent, you already know about WFMU! I need to listen to more shows - mostly I just stick to This is the Modern World and sometimes Clay Pigeon on the main broadcast channel, plus Irene Trudel and Continental Subway on the Drummer stream, but there's so much more on there it makes my head spin.
