^ Well Dongho and Eli have straight up bad Japanese, but the rest have pretty typical Korean accented Japanese. The main problem is slurring words and the way they pronounce t and d. I do think Soohyun and Kiseop (and AJ? I don't know, I haven't heard him enough) have the best grasp of how Japanese is supposed to sound.

I expected Kevin's Japanese to be worse considering his "boku no yume wa sashimi" thing from a long time ago, though that had nothing to do with pronunciation, lol.

EDIT: omg loling @ the Tick Tack lyrics someone posted. Clearly transcribed by someone who really doesn't know Japanese at all and just can't hear in general because the English is all wrong, too. It's actually a pretty big pet peeve of mine when people do this. If you don't know Japanese, your lyrics are going to be totally wrong and you're in no position to write the lyrics by ear and post them on sites as if they're the real thing. Anyways my favorite part is "zankoku na kame ga atte." Who knew this song was about cruel turtles?

Spoiler:
Tonight I shall be here (Tick tack tick tack)
Tonight i shall be here (Tick tack tick tack)

Kimi dake wo aishiteru
Sono kimochi wa kawaranai oh

Bokura ni wa kasanette kita
suteki na omoide mo arukeredo
(I must be up right now)
Kono yoni asurosu gosenai kara
ookina oh so tsukuderanai

Tonight I shall be singing for you through the night
(tonight) I shall be turning on the broken light
(tonight) yozora ichimaru kuyoni
Tonight (tonight) Tonight ooh ~
Woah (tick tock tick tock)
Woah (tick tock tick tock)
Nani wo okute
Tell me all, say yoni
Kagayoshi kanare
Tonight ( tonight) Tonight ooh ~

Mi no konai iki ni kock chodakara
I say goodbye hajishimau heart dake do
We have no choice kono mama nara wa
We are falling down, and you say what (say what what what)

Bokura ni wa koerarenai
Zankoku na kame ga atte
(There must be something within oh)
Hatana so wa kimi no tame ni tsuku(so) tsukute

Tonight I shall be singing for you through the night
(tonight) I shall be turning on the broken light
(tonight) yozora ichimaru kuyoni
Tonight ( tonight) Tonight ooh ~
Woah ( tick tock tick tock )
Woah ( tick tock tick tock )
Nani wo okute
Tell me all, say yoni
Kagayoshi kanare
Tonight ( tonight) Tonight

(Rap)
Ima kimi no hitori
Michimaru kau no hidotoki
Dont cry, dont cry c'mon uso de kizutsuku you baby
Boku ga ichi no hika yeah soshite kiss soshita
Oh~

(Tonight) I'll never never never give
(Tonight) I'll never never never give
(Tonight) I'll never never never give
Tonight ( tonight) Tonight

Yeah
Imi wa kedokonai
Yasashisa wa yet i dont know why
Shy ga suite ureta
Boku roku daijobu
Mada ii chikanai
Nani mo shiranai
Kimi wa damasenai

Tonight I shall be singing for you through the night
(tonight) I shall be turning on the broken light

Actually the first four lines are almost exactly right except it's "kasanete" not "kasanette." They could have helped their cause by looking these words up and making sure they were real words and not just gibberish.
