Is that Japanese? Korean? Maybe Romanian...
 
I was flipping through some songs on my iPod when I realized that more than half of the songs I listen to aren't even in English. From what I've gathered, I have songs sung in:

- English
- Japanese
- German
- Spanish
- French
- Korean
- Romanian

That's 7 different languages! And there's probably more that I've missed. I've come across mot of them from AMVs I've watched on YouTube, heard from a friend, was already a well known song to begin with, etc.

How about you? How many different languages can you count in your music collection? What are they? How did you come across them?

Suteki 01-26-2008 01:47 AM

Most of the songs on my mp3 player are in English, but those songs are mostly my sister's songs, since for now we're sharing one o:

But, as far as languages:
-English
-German
-French
-Russian
-Japanese
-Korean
-Mandarin
-Swedish
-Finnish
-Romanian

x.x Wow, I didn't know I had them in so many languages. But I love songs in other languages. I find those a lot prettier than a lot of English songs :3

Uzura 01-26-2008 02:34 AM

Din Tea" by O-ZONE on my
iPod. And i also used to
have a Japanese Jazz song
on my iPod. "The Real Folk
Blues" from Cowboy Bebop.

Tilly 01-27-2008 09:24 PM

Well, not that much.

-English (duh)
-French (a lot of french)
-Spanish
-Portuguese
-Russian

That's it. I really don't like listening to songs unless I can somewhat understand what they're saying, I really like the lyrics too much. I prefer songs in English or French, though, so I don't miss any word.

Cable Induced Coma 01-28-2008 05:23 AM

I have German and Romanian.

I used to listen to a lot of Japanese music, but none of them are on my ipod. I have mostly German though.

I have English, French, Japanese, Cantonese and Mandarin pop/rock songs. I also have a Swedish song [I found from an AMV], a Romanian song [Dragostea Din Tei!], Korean [from dramas] and Latin [FF songs].

Akstar 01-30-2008 02:17 AM

Hm, I know German for sure due to I have almost all the songs that Rammstein has done. Let's see I have a few in French, one in finnish, a few in Japanese. I think that's it without looking at my music.

Shakey 01-30-2008 06:20 PM

All the songs on my MP3/phone is either English, French or Spanish. I dont like listening to music that I dont understand because I mostly listen to the lyrics in music :3 I use to have one Japanese song on my phone :3 I think it was Japanese o.O It was called "Bu de bu ai" bye Wilber Pan :3 I loved it so much! I also listened to the English version but it was rubbish compared to the original :3

I only download songs I like and listen to, obviously. xDD So I'm pretty sure I know what songs I have. o:

- There's English ones, but for some reason, most songs are very boring to me. :/
- I have a TON of Japanese songs in my iTunes. I like the language and the music a lot. :]] <33
- A few Korean songs.. there are only certain ones I like, such as songs by DBSK or BoA.. maybe even The TRAX. xD
- And last but not least, Chinese songs. :D I don't have a lot of them, even though I'm Chinese, but some of them are really good. ;3 I like F.I.R and some other people. xD
