I have to ask... why must I understand a language to like the music?
Why does my taste in music seem weird to people just because it's not in English?
And why can't I simply like something without it coming into question by others just because it's different from what they like?

I faced ridicule in school simply because my music was in another language. Even the majority of the teachers thought it was funny and that I was a strange person. I have to say. It seems as though my taste in music has been questioned more often than my height... (I'm 6'10"... would like to see people's reactions in Japan )

How many of you have these problems at school/work/other places?

Japanese and other asian music is amazingly HOT! and COOL so lets not be ashamed of it....
