/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Damn, I tho denpa threads just died and haven't checked back for more than a month so it took me long to catch up.

Random question, does anyone here know japanese? Is it normal to listen to denpa music without being japanese proficient? I've been collecting denpa music for at least 6-7 years now but I don't speak japanese, I like the way the *loli* vocals sounds and the beat/music and happy feelings that almost always the come with.

If I'm really interested in a song, I seldom search for the lyrics either translated or untranslated (to use with Google-translate) but otherwise I don't have any idea of what 80% of the music I've bought and/or collected says.

As for my japanese "level" I only know how to read hiragana, katakana and as much vocabulary as more than a decade of watching anime can teach you (not much).
