If you are listening to vocal songs, do you care if you understand the lyrics?

I'm also chinese, living in america, and listen to Jpop...
however, I have taken 2 semesters of Japanese in order to understand Anime better 🙂
so I can make out about 5% of the vocals 🙂
 
BoA turned 16 a few months ago... THIS IS THE POLICE! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!

Yeah, she's pretty. I like Hyori Lee better though.

Only if it's Shonen Knife ... and a good portion of their lyrics are in English even though it's darn near impossible to understand them most of the time.
 
yah..Rammstein rocks.
about those pics of G.O.D and H.O.T, gosh they look so wannabe like the boy bands here in the US.
 
Here's what I've been listening to (but can't understand):

Vivian Hsu
Black Biscuits (with Vivian Hsu)
Namie Amuro
Ayumi Hamasaki
Boa

Any other suggestions of what to listen to?
 
I listen to the themesongs at the end of mostly shows associated with Sunrise. Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop, etc. theyve got a lot of good ending themes
