all of them seem to have learned japanese so quickly, I don't understand how they're learning so quickly!

Just wondering...
BIG MISTAKE naming Rain.. he doesn't know a single word... well that's abit of an exaggeration...
but he doesn't know much at all.. that's why I don't like him releasing stuff in Japanese... It's just about money making.. he's simple just memorising lyrics and reading it out....

If you watch him in Japan, he speaks all in Korean except for the "Konnichi wa. Rain desu." and then at the ending "Minna san, Aishiteruyo!"...

Korean and Japanese have very similar grammar.. sometimes there are some grammatical structures which are identical... also there are words within their vocab which sounds almost the same as in Japanese... that's why its easier to pick it up...

But it takes time.. BoA wasn't really that good at the start of her career, but SM pushed her so she became fluent... it takes time and hard work... that's why I respect BoA... I remember seeing her on TV shows along time ago, where she had a blank face on when they asked her stuff.. because she couldn't understand when they speak...

Look at her now, she's really fluent and talks rather naturally... whereas someone liek SE7EN still hasn't gotten into that fluency... but its all good.... I commend SE7EN as well, as his Japanese is quite fluent...
