songs and lyrics

I would like to see some Jpaanese songs and lyrics presented- a great way to learn the language Brian

While I agree songs (with translated lyrics) are a great way to learn some Japanese, music is a subjective topic. Not everyone likes the same thing. It wouldn't be good to alienate listeners by playing tunes they don't dig.

One thing you should be aware of there is that generally in music, in other languages too, things such as grammar and proper word usage are often sacrificed for the good of the melody/harmony/rhytmn/etc. In a song the music usually comes first. I wouldn't use songs for learning until you can recognize these things.

Yeah that's another good point too. Forgot about that one.
