Question Cursing in Japanese Music?

Has anyone noticed how in a lot of Japanese songs singers and rappers will say words not allowed to be said on tv && radio in America. It would be censored out. I hear the "F" word a lot in pop songs in Jpop/Jurban music!! Is this accepted or do they just not know the meaning of what they are saying? Or is it also censored on Japanese radio&&TV? Just a question!

Hmm?
I thought a lot of J-Rap/Hip Hop stuff doesn't have much or no swearing at all.

I just don't know enough Japanese to know that a singer is swearing, I guess

I was always under the impression that Japanese doesnt have a lot of curse words. Do you mean they're singing english curse words?

I think the thread started meant English swear words.

In SAS's The Track For The Japanese Typical Foods Called 'Karaage' & 'Soba' - KIRAISUTORIITO (Reprise)/, Kuwata sings "I wanna fxxx you today", but you hear a *beep* before he says it. But well...you still hear it fairly clearly.

^Yes, the threadstarter meant English profanity, I believe. This one might ring a bell. In the beginning of Ku's Hot Stuff, KM-Markit says "K to the mother-****ing M."

^ that was weird, lol

Kumi says crazy sh#$ in D.D.D. but I think it matches the style and rythm of the music quite well, ...but that's the only exception XD....

then I saw something on the asian channel...some Korean rap MV, LOL! it was soo funny i heard lotsa cussing and Koreans ating like lil' Jon and saying WHHAT!? and whatnot...but that's Korean..

In hitomi's CRAGY MAMA there's also b**ch being mentioned ... and it appears on one of Ayu's photoshoots as well ... guess they don't really know what they're wearing or singing about or including in their songs ...

Seriously, one can get their point across without using such language.
