I have to ask... why must I understand a language to like the music?
Why does my taste in music seem weird to people just because it's not in English?
And why can't I simply like something without it coming into question by others just because it's different from what they like?

I faced ridicule in school simply because my music was in another language. Even the majority of the teachers thought it was funny and that I was a strange person. I have to say. It seems as though my taste in music has been questioned more often than my height... (I'm 6'10"... would like to see people's reactions in Japan

How many of you have these problems at school/work/other places?

Japanese and other asian music is amazingly HOT! and COOL so lets not be ashamed of it....

Hell ya I tell ppl and if they don't like it then they can deal wit it

Yeah, why should people care what music you listen to anyway? If it's good music, then it's good music. No matter the language. I'm glad it seems like most people think that way on here

I also find it amusing when someone who listens to (c)rap tells me MY music is stupid.

"It's not the lyrics, but the music that moves me."

Or you could be cool and say something like "I listen with my heart, not my ears."

But then you'd probably get picked on even more. :/
