I don’t see how you would be able to learn the most basic things like “My name is…, I live in…, I am X years old,…” from lyrics

I wonder if you can get into Japanese just from listening to the music.
ofc yes lol , i segue back and forth into studying japanese and using hobbies to stay interested all the time.
o u listen to jpop, can u sing along to any of it
o u watch anime, have u picked up any japanese phrases/ who’s ur fav character u know what their name means
o u read messed up REDACTED manga, can u read the weird sound effects
for any kids lurking: it works the other way too, ok so u are forced to learn Spanish but ur obsessed with baseball. u get on the official spanish-language MLB social media account or w/e

It’s already tricky learning japanese from anime because if it’s not slice of live it’s definitivly diffrent from how normal people speak.
If you just learn from lyrics you will probably sound like a weird Avantgarde person 
especially if you learn from Kyo 
Ask yourself if you would recommend to learn english from rap or country music lyrics

A westerner with the Kyoto accent, that’s something!

i had a friend who learned all her Japanese living in Osaka, and as a result skipped right past the nihonho jouzu stage to land straight at “but why kansaiben tho?”

Late to the party but I actually did learn like half of my Japanese from vkei lyrics🫣 I’m fluent, work as a Japanese translator, speak Japanese every day and passed JLPT N1 almost a decade ago so I guess I know what I’m talking about lol.
Vkei was where I started. First I was comparing translated lyrics with the originals, then I moved onto looking up all the words I didn’t know in a song and writing them down. There’s actually a pretty wide variety of vocabulary in song lyrics depending on the bands you listen to. Then I moved on to the comment videos that were so common in the 2000s-2010s. You know the ones where you have all the bandmen saying one thing each in a short clip.
Then it was interacting with real people. I went on sooo many chatrooms as a teen. Made a few friends. From there it was all passive learning, like watching j-dramas and anime with subs and talking to friends. That got me all the way up to N2 level without touching a single textbook. Then I got in an argument with someone on the internet and signed up for the N1 out of spite 
It took 6 months of actual studying for me to pass that one.
