I almost burst with excitement. On the hunt for Japanese music to fill my ears with, I had a brainwave upon reading this post from Eurolinguiste. Why have I not yet searched for Japanese versions of English songs? Oh boy, I was in for a treat. First off, it didn’t take me long to discover this guy.How awesome is he?! Also, I think I’m a bit of a closet Taylor Swift fan. A Swifty? A Swifter? A Taylorette? I don’t know. Anyway…that’s out there now.

I had a feeling I was onto a good thing so I thought I’d put together a new 8tracks playlist. SoundCloud is connected to 8tracks so typing in ‘Japanese version’ found me a few more artists including this brilliant channel and then I headed back to YouTube and discovered Maco. Miley Cyrus in Japanese. Mind well and truly blown. Mission accomplished.Not all of these songs were avaliable on Sountcloud but I found plenty of others to keep my little ears pricked up when I’m working at my desk. Enjoy this playlist as much as I am!

Do you know of any great cover versions of well known songs in the language you’re learning? Share them in the comments!
