I have no idea how to post videos here (seriously, help a noob out) but I'll say "Time To Say Goodbye" (Italian)by Andrea Bocelli is absolutley spectacular and I REALLY like the (complete) endng theme for Baccano, "Calling" (Japanese).

Every single song with Andrea Bocelli in it, especially this one.
Ignore the choppiness in the beginning.
and then there's this

Yeah, I find that, too, but with I Do, it's quite an exception, because while the tone of the song remains fairly constant, except with a slow build up in the piano part, the lyrics show a distinct progression, going from despair through memory, then adaptation and finally hope. I'm glad it's the way it is (i.e. in Italian, because it's beautiful as anything I've heard), but knowing what the lyrics are in English gives it a helluva lot more impact.darlarosa said:
I can name at least five songs.
First of all, I've gotta bring up the theme song for The Elder Scrolls V. Now, I've never played any of these games, but seeing as they wrote themselves and entirely new language for this series, this is obviously something designed with a lot of dedication and is well worth my time being invested in.

Next, I should bring up this one song by Two Steps from Hell. Frankly, it's the only song I've ever been able to find from them. Everything else appears to be lyricless music. It kinda reminds me of Inuyasha. And yes, the title also makes me think of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Here's another song from a videogame I've never played. Frankly, it sounds like some kind of anthem to me. All I can make out is "Sega! Sega!" The rest is in Japanese. I still really wanna play this game so dang badly, but it was only ever released in Japen, and apparantly, on a budget of less than $100.

By its third intro, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood had, by far, the worst animé opening I had ever seen in my life. Then, they totally made up for it with the fourth, which has been my absolute favorite animé intro ever since! I was kind of upset when it got replaced, later on.

Finally, I just had to mention this. Because I honestly believe there is no way we will ever get a translation of this song. The lyrics are forever lost for all of time.

I love foreign music. Always have. Ever since watching Teen Titans as a kid and they'd do the Puffy AmiYumi Japanese opening for it! I'm fascinated by listening to languages I don't understand and hearing the sound combinations that English doesn't use.
I listen to a lot of Japanese, and Chinese music. Here's some of it, but by no means anywhere close to all of it.
Dir en Grey
Peggy Hso
Carla Bruni
Falconer
Girl's Generation
Super Junior
Hatsune Miku
And quite a lot of anime and video game music.

Well then could you picture if you hadn't kept up to date with who won the song contest in 2006 tuning in the next year and seeing this?Evil Smurf said:
Anyway here: But I'm going to post a different video of that song because this bugs me to hell: Is it just me or does that smile look incredibly evil? Oh and here's something else:
Here's the real videos for that part of my non-english language taste: They also make a convincing case for why I like the hindi girls.
