Nya_sist 5 Posted October 22, 2018 This in no means is me wanting to force jrockers to speak English. I just want to know. ❤️❤️❤️ 1 Miku70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platy 3018 Posted October 22, 2018 Takeru from SuG spent some time in the US learning. That was before the band broke up, but he did some livestreams on YouTube for foreign fans in English. Even as a solo artist, he'll make posts every now and then for western fans. That's all I remember for now. 2 Miku70 and Nya_sist reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted October 22, 2018 From what I remember SUGIZO (LUNA SEA) speaks really competent English, and Tomoyasu Hotei is almost fluent. I can't remember any other 'exceptional students', haha. 2 Miku70 and Nya_sist reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkeybanana4 1732 Posted October 22, 2018 I remember Mao (Sadie, the Thirteen) went to study in England some time ago. Not sure if he still studies or practices English though. 1 Nya_sist reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takadanobabaalien 3607 Posted October 22, 2018 La'veil Mizeria's old drummer (Yuuna?) lived in London for a couple of years, so he's fluent in English. Majyu (Devil Kitty/Shape Shifter) travels a lot and speaks decent English at least. 1 Nya_sist reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violetchain 912 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) YOU, the bassist from THE SOUND BEE HD, speaks English fairly well. Her English isn't perfect, but she has translated for the band during interviews/streams before, and you can message her on Twitter and stuff and she'll try to reply in English. I think she mentioned when they appeared on a variety show that she was a flight attendant before joining the band, so maybe that's where she picked some of it up? This video has some clips from the show, including YOU doing the seatbelt warning before takeoff in Japanese and English.

Manabu 144 Posted October 22, 2018 Yojiro Noda of Radwimps/Illion is spectacular at English, even on their first album, you wouldn't think he was Japanese 1 deedlitmurata reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Komorebi 2193 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) You from The Sound Bee HD speaks fairly good English and understands a lot. Though I've had very basic conversations with all the band. Hide-Zou from D speaks some English, and is actually a huge languages enthusiast, he's asked me to teach him Spanish. He has some certificate but idk which level and whether he renewed it or not (probably not) Sena from Jiluka allegedly knows English, he stated in an interview he studied in Seattle, but the shy fucker refuses to speak it (even though he told me "you can talk to me in English if you want" -.-) Edited October 22, 2018 by Komorebi 2 Mihenno and God reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even when my Japanese was terrible he refused to speak to me in English, but he was always extremely patient with listening to me. He's a good dude. Never knew he studied in Seattle though ??? That's interesting That being said, if you write to him or speak to him in English he will understand. He's long gone but Roji (ex-XAA-XAA) is pretty good at English. He's not fluent but his listening comprehension is quite high and he can maintain conversations if he tries. He knows quite a bit of slang as well. I still wonder where he learned English. 2 platy and Nya_sist reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted October 23, 2018 In a more serious example, I guess technically Leo Imai (Metafive, Kimonos etc.), Ken Lloyd (Fake?, Oblivion Dust) and the dude from MONORAL would count but as far as I know they're halfbloods anyways and presumably raised bilingually?

That's interesting That being said, if you write to him or speak to him in English he will understand. He was asked once where he would like to play and he said Seattle cause he wanted to "see his host family again". And I think it was Nagase who also told me to talk to him in English since he'd studied it. Boogie tried really hard and Ricko repeated in Japanese a few things I told him in English, as if ensuring he'd understood correctly. Anis from Monoral is fluent in English, Arabic and French iirc. He's also credited in a few L'Arc albums (I think Awake and Kiss) for the English lyrics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
God 264 Posted October 23, 2018 Man, I love Sena tho. I'm glad he can read the dumb shit I write to him on Insta. 😂 Also, I don't know why or how, but when I met exist trace, Miko was speaking English really well. Like, really, really well. She's hella chill. 1 1 Nya_sist and Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrenGun 2261 Posted October 23, 2018 kenbo (ex art alicia) 「studied in Australia」 Sho (ex embrace) 「he is half Japanese」 speak both very good English. Tak (ex calmando qual) he understands a little. Dee Lee (2bullet) perfect English. Ren (musubore) Understanding very well writing / speaking okay too. Shun (ex jills, nein, quiete rain) He understands English. That's about what I know.
