Well… Basically Just Mafumafu :eyes:
I listen to a lot of Mafumafu
Like a lot
As in I have a problem help me

That song was actually a cover by Mafumafu though! :smile: The original isn’t as catchy imo because it uses vocaloid and I don’t think the voice has the power it needs.
Also Mafumafu makes everything better :eyes:
Here’s some more songs I like! :smile:




And of course my favorite song ever~

I-I’ll stop myself there :sweat_smile: If I don’t stop now I’ll drown us all in these <_<

Currently watching spongebob squarepants in Japanese on NHK Eテレ. This is good review background.

I should learn the theme song in Japanese. Over 15 years ago my first job out of university was broadcasting Nickelodeon to the Netherlands, in the long night shifts I learnt the Dutch version of the theme song and I can still sing a garbled version of it.

Edit: so as not to off-top: I can absolutely not listen to anything while doing reviews. ^-^

Hij ziet zo geel als een kaas souffle.

When I listen to music during reviews, I make more random mistakes, like switching kanji and voccabulary (生, looking at you…) or mistaking reading for meaning. The only time I listen to music is when I’m doing reviews while tipsy/drunk.

Same here, if music is important to you then IMO it’s best to listen to slow music without any vocals in them.

@Topic: I’m mostly using piano tracks from games like Final Fantasy or I use this: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/japaneseGardenSoundscapeGenerator.php

That website has a lot of great soundscape generators and with headphones this really helps to drown out all the background noise in my house and works well to calm me down from a busy day, which is especially important for learning.

Wow this is sweet!!! Love that 1980s Japan vibe

I can’t listen to music while I study or do anything (except walk or drive)

That’s a pretty neat choice, plus I learnt a few words from the song lyrics. This song kinda reminds me of a Two Door Cinema Club or a Vampire Weekend song because of the guitar riff at the beginning.

I often listen to ‘Where are you from?’ because it’s the first non-anime Japanese song I listened to. I heard it briefly in a podcast about foreigners living in Japan, so it always makes me think of travel and adventures when I hear it.

I can only sometimes listen to music while studying. Sometimes music keeps me awake, but sometimes it puts me to sleep. If I listen to something new, it’s too distracting, so it has to be something I have listened to before, usually on repeat or on a very small ordered playlist. I generally like it to be something upbeat, perhaps something my fingers can dance across the keyboard to.

Chiptune

Also I make my own Chiptunes sometimes. Chiptunes and Video Game music seem to repeat pretty well.

As for music with lyrics… Japanese music is a bit too distracting for me because I can sometimes understand parts of it, but it takes a lot of brain power. English music is sometimes OK, because I can understand it without thinking too much. Also sometimes I like to listen to Czech music, which I can’t understand at all (which means it’s not using up brain power!).

@Liras That https://mynoise.net thing is really cool. I probably won’t use it to study, but I’m definitely going back there to fiddle with it.

I love this. And at the same time find it rather humorous to be in the middle of learning new vocabulary when I suddenly hear “F***! What do I ******* look like, I have a ******* sign on my back?!”

Not exactly what I was expecting. XD
