1- French is complicated and illogical, this is the "enfant terrible" of the romance languages, difficult but charming. Japanese, difficult writing and subtilities but simple in other aspects, japanese is a must for those who want to understand Japan. But I think that both languages are easy, it depends on your will to learning them. 2- My favorite English songs are: -Ahmed Bukhatir /Last Breath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IILr6YhBLo - Michel Jakson / Give Thanks To Allah http://www.metacafe.com/watch/475791/michel_jakson_give_thanks_to_allah/ You're welcome and Good Luck :)

Norah Jones, Somewhere over the rainbow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu5QPVD427o Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high, And the dreams that you've dreamed of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly, And the dreams that you've dreamed of Dreams really do come true. Someday i'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melts like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. And the dreams that you dare to.. Oh why, oh why can't i? Well, i see Trees of green and red roses too, I'll watch them bloom for me and you And i think to myself, What a wonderful world. Well i see, Skies of blues and, clouds of white, And the brightness of day, i like the dark And i think to myself, What a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying i... I love you. I hear babies cry, i watch them grow They'll learn much more than really know And i think to myself What a wonderful world. Someday i'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high, And the dreams that you dare to Oh why, oh why can't i? http://www.metrolyrics.com/somewhere-over-the-rainbow-lyrics-norah-jones.html

The answer depends on your own language. And the answer can only be answered from someone, who speaks both of these languages. If you are German, and because German people pronounce every letter in a word, so it will much easier for them to learn Japanese. In French, the letters in a word are not all pronounced. For example: il fait ses devoirs. Here you hear only. il fé sé devuar. And the Grammar! Japanese is very simple. Japanese has no, singular nor plural. Un, une, le, la, les. You have not to decline the verbs in "je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles". It exist only one verb for all these pronoun personnel. There are no upper case words. In French only names are in upper case. The French language has 16 different times. The Japanese has only 2 times. Present and Past. The future doesn't exist yet. And there are others. The secont question, I can't answer.
