私は日本語が上手になりたいので、日本語の音楽を聞いて、日本語のアニメを見ます。日本人が言うことを理解したい。今は難しいですが、もっと理解したいです。私の好きな歌手は宇多田ヒカルです。彼女はとても美しい声をしています。私が好きな彼女の曲は「光」です。私はロックバンドのアシッド・ブラック・チェリーも好きです。私の好きなアニメはクラナドです。悲しい物語です。けれど、美しいです。私はよくコメディ・アニメを見ます。

Recent Japanese songs are deeply contaminated by English.
If you want to hear correct Japanese pronunciation you should listen to 70s and 80s.
I am almost sure that those songs are never your taste, though.

ありがとうございました！Thank you for your correction, and for the link. It's very interesting to hear a different type of song like this.

I agree, I think current Japanese songs seem to try to fit into a more 'Western' style. I've noticed the same with Spanish songs, as well.
