Can i learn japanese by listening to japanese music?

Question:

Answer:

Absolutely. If you already have a basic knowledge of Japanese, songs are a great supplement because if you study enka and J-Pop, you'll learn how to express feelings and learn vocabulary that you won't get in textbooks. Songs are more conversational as well, and reflect the current culture in language in slang and euphemisms just as it does in Western music.

Music was a great part of my education outside of the classroom. Lyrics are mandatorily included with CDs and are shown on TV broadcasts (so there's no mistaking what's being sung - unlike in the US and elsewhere where you can grow up singing the wrong words to your favorite songs for decades). So I used to look up every kanji of every line and made sure I knew all the words. It becomes an enormous amount of repetition when you can sing along with your favorite songs. When you find songs you like and you know what the lyrics are what they mean when you sing along with them they become a part of you because they're also emotional.
