A little late, but for #JMusicFriday, themed #TheForeignLanguage, here is Blumio (Fumio Kuniyoshi). He is a German-Japanese rapper, who released some nice German hiphop albums before he moved from Germany to Japan, where he started to release music in Japanese. In co-operation with the Goethe Institute Tokyo, he has published several songs with mixed German and Japanese lyrics there.

cheat song no°2

Dir en grey - Deity

If you don't know what to post, just find the fitting Dir en Grey song 😂
Song lyrics are completely in russian (even though it's basically just - let me count - 10 words. Let's not be stingy, okay
(also, of course you cannot understand anything)

It's #JMusicFriday and despite all odds i will participate (i will not be stopped by technical issues)

Todays theme is #TheForeignLanguage and i had to dig, to not just post any english song (because that's lame right)

Instead: Here have some Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle OST written by Yuki Kajiura - A song of storm and fire

it's not a foreign language at all, it's imaginary language. Well, not japanese after all
