If you'd read my previous posts, you'd know I was constantly responding to some slightly unsavory comments made by some other (I assume
Ranka's) fans who think one needs to be a full-on japanese speaker, to be able to enjoy
their favorite songs - and, since we're ill-bred westerners, we're just not equipped to do so, and that's why we prefer some other kinds of songs (which aren't so sublime as the ones they deem so). Pure bull, in my opinion, as I think music is music no matter where you are from or what languages you're fluent in - and even if you don't understand any of the words that are being sung.
Nothing to do with you, personally, so not to worry.

What kind of advanced knowledge of onomatopoeias do we need to understand "
Dokun, dokun, dokun"?
Sorry, couldn't resist it. Please don't shoot me...
