I've heard the 'f' word in BoA's song I think it was 'power' which is one of her Korean songs. I've heard it in other asian music as well but, I can't think of all the songs off the top of my head.

I agree that anyone can get to the point without swearing and that people who do it way too much sound irritating but when it comes to a song, the cursing in it is probably trying to picture a more "realistic situation", if the intention of the song is indeed to curse. Using euphemisms would sound way too unnatural

umm no it wasnt that word. he said, "we gunna FUNK like this". BoA was still a young girl and i dont think theyd have a vulgar line in a song.....

i know of PAPA MAMA NOZOMARE NU BABY from Miyavi. he says "****ing days"
also, in Koda Kumi's Hott Stuff, KM Markit said K to the mother******* M.

but i agree, a point can be expressed without bad language....*sigh* it seems like nothing at school...i wish soemthing could be done.....

Japanese Swearing:
-B word (It ends with 'd'. ) in Ai Otsuka's 'NEKO ni Fusen'
-F word in Shiina Ringo's 'Yattsuke Shigoto' (It's up to interpretation.)
-F word in ELLEGARDEN's new single.*
-F word in move's 'platinum'.*
-F word in globe's new album.*

Korean Swearing:
-F word by a male rapper (Lee Jung Hyun Vol.2)*
-F word in Lee Jung Hyun's 'Ari Ari'*

*Indicates English Swearing.

LOL speaking of..
Aikawa Nanase has a song called "*****".
It's actually a very good song
....*****...
OH EM GEE...it censored it
anyway..
The title is regarding a "Female Dog"...hee hee x3
I can't believe thats censored, actually Oo;;
It's not really a bad word...it's just sometimes used in an innopropriate way.

OMG neko ni fuusen says biiiiiiii**h??! LOOOOLLLLLL.......
I love neko ni fuusen <3
I actually think the Japanese versions of innopropriate words aren't as bad over there...
But i heard somewhere that cussing is HORRIBLE in public, though, and etc places.

[BanFan]

That song's really good, not to mention the entire FOXTROT album.

The chorus, or the part right before the chorus is so funny.
Those guys in the background.

The last line is awesome beyond belief:
"Don't call me a b****." XD

^ LOL i know huh.
She is an amazing JRocker
w00t.
wasn't she lyke, best seller or soemthin' b'fore ayu?
I think she started in 1996, or 7 or something.
Btw, i LOOOOOOOOOVE Seven Seas <3333331

Japanese people don't care much about english words, I think, that's why english in their music usually don't make any sense, so I don't see why they would care much if someone cuss in english.

But I read in a book about Japanese culture there's no bad words in Japanese language, but then I read Namie Amuro used bad words for Want Me, Want Me, but it was a vulgar term for a part of the body, it wasn't like the f-word or s-it, there's no japanese translation for that. So I guess they have some bad words..

[Brittany]

^They just use.. well, I don't know. Whoever translates lyrics makes the lyrics more appealing O_O Like "mune" for example means "chest." .. but from what I hear, there is a lot of slang words in Japanese for things. I have a book on Japanese swear words and such, and they usually put two words together. I can't be so sure nowdays though.

Lol yes that quite probable.

Yeah, I just got my CD out to check, and I'm sure that he says "funk".

I've (singer MIKI) - ***** Me

Most of the song is just a male voice saying that, I lost count one time when I was bored enough to attempt counting it. I could upload it but I'm not sure if that'd be appropriate.
