Khatz (If I may be so bold),
Thanks for the excellent posts!! You beat me to my next question. I’ve started with
the music and needed a source for lyrics. Since you like hip-hop, I recommend Shonen No
Kaze. Great band with a reggae flavor.
Charles
P.S. Anyone else have any recommendations for music? I mostly listen to hard rock and the occasional hip-hop.

Hey buddy! Newcomer to the site, but incredibly impressed (and, I’ll admit, annoyingly jealous) of what you’ve got here. At any rate, I hadn’t seen this mentioned anywhere so I thought I’d link this to you:
http://powersugoi.net/tingdong/index.php
It’s a great resource, especially since I picked up the Chinese version of Mulan the other day and I’m incredibly addicted to “男子漢” (http://powersugoi.net/tingdong/song.php?song=189).
Anyway. That’s enough out of me. If you’ve found it, great, if not, then I contributed something! Yay! Keep it up with the Chinese!!

I love Japanese songs. That’s why I decided to learn Japanese in the first place. Thanks for the links!

Hey! I love this site, and when I get the kanji down, I may have something to work with. Anyways, I had a question about sentences and Japanese Songs.
Should we use lyrics as sentences? (Because sentences are usually not grammatically correct…)
I just wanted to be sure, because it would be nice to actually know what they’re saing, but I don’t know if it would mess up my Japanese learning.
Thanks for listening!

>Should we use lyrics as sentences?
Yeah, definitely.
>it would mess up my Japanese learning.
It wouldn’t. It’s no different from learning poetry. There are lots of allusions and allowances for rhyme, but it still makes just as much sense as an English song would to an English speaker/user; the vocab and structure are all there.
