and if they can't speak it at all, why bother adding english parts into things like anime? just makes it sound weird

because different languages have different pronunciations, and they don't just randomly add english words into anime, many, many english words have been added into the japanese lexicon
example: moon/ムーン

@milsea well ofc they have different pronunciations, but all im saying is it sounds like they dont even try, im sure pronunciation is put in front of them, but almost every time you hear the sounds "eh" "uh" added to it. in general it is weird, because i wouldnt start speaking japanese if i was singing a english song, only a minority would understand the words being said.
like in the song i just put in
"I want to diveh, lostu mind" "Rolley(?) GOOOOO"

also, there are whole classes of words that have been incorporated into japanese. One being gairaigo and the other wasei-eigo. These terms respectively mean foreign words and pseudo-english.

| also in Japanese culture, saying English words makes something look cool/exotic. However, in many cases with anime/music, most people saying the lines have no english experience and thus are reading a hiragana/katakana reading of the lyrics. |

Some English letters simply don't exist in Japanese so for first time speakers they might not be able to pronounce them.
It's like Jalapeño is pronounced with an H despite being spelt with a J. |
