Interesting. Can you provide a source I can read? If he taught himself at home that’s pretty impressive but without having any opportunity to practice speaking that hardly sounds possible. ---

Yeah, but everyone can use google translate. And also, you wont understand them when they talk or try to talk english. So their “skills” are only in writing. ---

I dont wanna be the nitpicking asshole here but the title: Musicians who can → **speak** ← fluent/near fluent English So if they use google translate, just add it. I personally dont mind it either. Hell i am far from minding it. But it will lead people to wrong assumptions, if you just go and list down names here without mentioning that those people know at least how to use google translate or deepL or whatever. ---

I really don’t know if they were using google translate, they wasn’t do this type of “coming out” hahah ---

He’s pretty good but not at all flawless definitely doesn’t sound like a native speaker or anything. Saw him in Bunraku with Josh Hartnett. He’s good fluent but leaves a lot to be desired in the pronunciation and grammar department. I’d definitely say Yoshiki is the best I’ve heard as far as native speaker learning English as a second language. ---

Well debunked by Sho himself. He said he can’t speak English well but he’s studying ❤ ---

Kaya -sama and Mana-sama are fluent in Queen. and maybe English? I suspect one of them knows some of it by now. ---

He can speak and understand it good enough, but he still has a way to go. My mention of Gackt was heavily sarcastic. The example I gave (Moon Child) is hilariously bad; I can’t even tell what he’s saying. ---

What evidence is there of such mastery? Not being sarcastic or condescending; genuinely curious because I hadn’t heard of this guy(girl…?) until recently. ---

I think that’s a typo cuz in the original Japanese version they definitely said “genreless”. > **・ヴィジュアル系としての活動を選ばれた理由はなぜでしょうか？また、そこでしか表現できないことは何だと思われますか？** > ヴィジュアル系は視覚的にも表現出来るし何でもありなジャンルだと思う。 > ただ今後はヴィジュアル系だけではなくジャンルレスで活動していきたい。 ---

“Genreless” makes way more sense than “genderless” in this context, yeah lol ---
