A Multilingual Song is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a song whose lyrics are in two, or sometimes more, languages. It's not just random bits of Gratuitous English or Gratuitous Foreign Language sprinkled into the lyrics, but full on verses that are in separate languages. This type of song is most common in areas where most of the audience is bilingual, thus they're able to understand the lyrics. It however isn't uncommon for songs to feature multiple languages to add spice to them or reflect the singers' backgrounds. In film or theater examples, the bilingual lyrics can also reflect the plot or setting of the story. Compare to Bilingual Bonus. The Other Wiki has a fuller list of multilingual songs. |

Procellarum's You Haduki is played by Tetsuya Kakihara, who is fluent in German, so You's songs often include some German even though there's no real reason for his character to use it. His first solo song is called "Genau" (approximately "okay"), and it became something of a catch phrase for him, repeated in one of his duet songs with his partner Yoru. Procellarum's leader Shun, on the other hand, speaks seven languages in canon, though he only rarely uses them in his songs. | |
