Japanese Pop Music CDs

When I first started learning Japanese back in 2008, one of the things I

started to like was Japanese popular music from the 1980s and 1990s. Some

of my favorite singers are female J-Pop Idols from those time periods,

which include Yoko Minamino, Hiroko Yakushimaru, Yui Asaka, Yuki Saito,

Miho Nakayama and others. While in Japan, I decided to buy some more J-Pop

CDs from those eras. The ones you see here are Tomomi Nishimura, Seiko

Matsuda, Yu Hayami, and the female duo Wink. Seiko Matsuda is actually

considered the most successful J-Pop Idol of all-time in Japan and has been

given the term "eternal idol" because she holds the record of singles that

reached number one. I really like listening to all of the female J-Pop

Idols of these times. I don't always know what they are saying, but it has

helped with improving my pronunciation and it helps with increasing my

vocabulary, because I tend to translate the songs to find out what the

singers are singing about. Listening to music in your target language is

one way to improve your language skills and have fun at the same time.
