But are you are really able to pick up japanese words just by being an attentive listener? Or did you study the language a little? I'm always completely lost when listening to japanese.
I used to listen to a lot of Japanese music in high school, then I studied it for 4 years at university (but by that time I stopped caring about Japanese culture, school does that to you).

Nowadays if I go back and listen to a song in Japanese, I'm like "whoa... I understand that now." =D So it's a cool experience.
