Figure out? What is most wonderful doesn't need a reason.

Ah, I'm an idealist. The world would be so much better if people possessed the full wisdom of things wouldn't it? lol But usually, they are satisfied with their half-truths. Wisdom is difficult anyway...makes life harder. People don't want that.

You say
their half-truths, and yet you say it would be better if we possessed the full wisdom. The difference in my truth and yours lies precisely in the word
their, as in mine, and yours. Our tastes vary, as do our opinions. You claim to understand, and yet you don't seem to be comfortable with accepting that someone may dislike music other than Japanese.
But fair enough. If we compare music to a painting, abstract art is composed of many colours, shades. I may notice all those shades in a song, but are they all pretty and genuine? Since we like different colours, what is pleasant to my eyes, may be painful to yours. That doesn't necessarily mean it is; it exists there, and is liked by a group of people. Those who aren't fond of it, will move towards what they enjoy. I take my time to understand all the shapes, but no person likes
everything.
I've come to appreciate Chinese music to an extent, there are French singers whom I enjoy, and Chopin among other pianists inspires me to play the piano. Unfortunately those artists don't live in the present time.
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron's OST is in English, and it's a mesmerizing piece of work, but I still prefer GACKT's music over Bryan Adam's, even though Hans Zimmer's compositions are some of the best. Music alone without words is beautiful, and when there is no singer, the significance of the words that the composer would speak fades away, because they aren't there.
Does being judgement-free make life harder? You tell me to dig deeper, and I do, although what I find doesn't impress me.
You however, seem to have an opinion about me already. I wonder how much you found out based on two posts.
Anyway.
I see art in a small percentage of music.
Perhaps I'm blind, wouldn't you say?
You may also say that my
taste lacks wisdom.
I'll give anyone a chance.
Then I'll listen to what I deem good.

Like Ayu would say.
It's just the internet. No point in arguing.
