Comments on: 10,000 Sentences: Music Lyrics http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com/blog/10000-sentences-music How to learn Japanese. On your own, having fun and to fluency.

For folks into more alternative rock formats I want to definitely give a 2nd thumbs up to the listing of Asian Kung-Fu Generation. With these guys basically just think of Weezer. On catchy song after the other, lyrics that are understandable, and decent rock-credi prowess. A band I didn't see on the list is Number Girl. These guys are just plain genious. Fairly equivalent to a Pixies, Sonic Youth, Nirvana type of mix. They're not necessarily great for language learning since they're screaming inaudibly half the time or playing around with crazy distortion or guitar riffs, but if you just want a Japanese band that can flat out rock they're probably as good as it gets.

It might be good. O.O Should we use lines as sentences, or a whole lyrical phrase? What I mean is.... Should we use this :どんな時だって (First line of Utada Hikaru's song, Hikari) Or this : どんな時だって (first lyrical passage of the song) ただ一人で 運命忘れて 生きてきたのに 突然の光の中、目が覚める 真夜中に I was wondering, because a lot of times, a whole passage is written to convey ONE message. But it seems like sometimes one lyrical line could work alone. Well, I have a question. It might be good. O.O

Or this : どんな時だって (first lyrical passage of the song)
ただ一人で
運命忘れて
生きてきたのに
突然の光の中、目が覚める
真夜中に
I was wondering, because a lot of times, a whole passage is written to convey ONE message. But it seems like sometimes one lyrical line could work alone.

I've been listening to a LOT of Utada Hikaru, yet I had no idea I could use the lyrics as sentences. I was getting frustrated, too!

I do....But the books and everything...I cannot afford~ This was great knowing this, but I still continue to search for ways to get sentences~ タイラー Oh, yeah.

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.

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! Hey!

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!

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!! Hey buddy!

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. Khatz (If I may be so bold),
