Obviously the main language for Kpop is Korean. But with many songs also having Japanese versions, more and more English ones releasing nowadays, and even some Chinese versions existing. Do you listen to those? And do you only do so if there is no Korean version, or do you preffer a certain language?
I often like Japanese versions as I can speak it a bit while I can't speak Korean, so it's easier to follow along in my head. I guess there being some similarities between the languages' grammar and stuff make it easier to translate, and most sounds are quite doable to learn to pronounce, making it work easier to make a more natural sounding translation. Next to the amount of Japanese members ofc.
But I personally don't like most English versions of Korean songs as it just really sounds like it was clearly not meant to be in English giving it an odd flow. Most exceptions to that are songs that are completely rewritten instead of translated, like Weki Meki's Cool/100 Facts and songs that are originally made in English.
Chinese has been hit or miss as it really depends on if the idol can pronounce it well. It really seems to stand or fall with if the artist already speaks Mandarin or not.
Of course Korean versions are always good.
I want to hear how you got into listening Japanese music!
For me, I can barely remember where it started. I knew about the existance of girlgroups like AKB48 and anison since I was a kid due to my sister being into anime but it never clicked much with me.
But somewhere 2017~2018 I somehow started to listen to Chanmina, who I still like. I have no clue how I got there anymore. Around that time, I also started listening to TeddyLoid and a few others.
2021 was the real turning point. I was mainly listening to Kpop at the time and releases where a bit dissapointing lately. Then Koda Kumi's Doo-Bee-Doo-Bob got recommended on my YT list and I was hooked. 2 years later she's my 2nd most-listened artist of all time, with only Bruce Springsteen above her. Having a 20 year long discography really gives you a lot of stuff to listen to 😅.
But it also showed me a whole other side of Jpop that was quite clicking with me. Up beat, high attitude, and not-cute. I got into more singers like Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, Mika Nakashima, Tomomi Itano, Faky, Happiness, and more. Jpop has become a common genre I listen too, and a big part of my CD collection.
How about you guys?!
