Here I will list the music selections that we listened to (or may not have had time to listen to) in class. If you like a certain artist, definitely look them up on youtube and listen to their other songs.
Music is a great tool to study a language because you can learn new words from lyrics. I highly suggest you look at the lyrics to the song while listening so that you make sure you are hearing the word correctly. (I learned a lot of vocabulary through listening and singing songs, and incidentally learned how to read kanji fast to try to keep up with karaoke!)
jpopasia.com is a good resource. They don't have every song, but they have popular charts and usually have translations of songs in Japanese, English, and romaji (alphabetical script of Japanese). Check it out!
