The band Creepy Nuts is a Japanese rap(?) group that did the Dandadan opening, but I also really like their opening for Mashle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLW35YMzELE
I think they also did the opening and closing for Call of the Night, but of which are also great.

I basically love city pop cus it has great groove, rhythm and usually the few English words in the lyrics reassuring me that it’s usually about love or a metaphor of it.

Polish cow song. The melody itself is from another song, "How long - Lipps, inc" apparently. But both songs do well with that beat.

That's a solid "The entire Caramba" album.
You might've heard (of) Habba Habba Zoot Zoot; well, they made an entire album of "plausible sounding" songs in German, Japanese, Finish, American, Russian, etc. It's really quite hilarious.
Here's a Spotify link:

The prettiest song ever about nuclear war.
There were A LOT of songs about nuclear war in 80s music. German youth in the 80s was very aware that in nuclear war Germany (being a huge part of the east west border) would just be ground zero to be vaporized in WW3.
Thinking about Germany people associate the Autobahn, what some don't know - there were pre-built detonation chambers so key sections and bridges could be mined with atomic demolition munitions in order to stop the east bloc tank armies from advancing.
ChatGpt translation of the song lyrics:
When in the Canale Grande submarines drop anchor
And on St. Peter’s Square in Rome missile launch pads stand
When a carpet of bombs floats over the bazaar of Ankara
And from the hills of Olympus a Pershing II risesThen everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still standsIn front of the old Cologne Cathedral a mushroom cloud rises into the air
And the sky is filled with the scent of neutron waffles
When in Paris the Eiffel Tower bows westward in a final salute
And near Big Ben a gentle Alpine glow appearsThen everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still standsWhen haute cuisine turns into a witch’s cauldron
Where the cook from overseas flambés his old world
There’s laughter and applause, even the waiter gets a kick
What’s left to us but culture — we wish you bon appétitThen everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still stands
Yes, then everything is long too late
Then, when nothing works anymore
Visit Europe
As long as it still stands
As long as it still stands, as long as it still stands
As long as it still stands, as long as it still stands -

I'm surprised that people can answer with only one or a few songs. I don't "discriminate" music by language at all, I listen to a ton of music from all over the world in more languages than I can say. One very good place to find good international music is the YouTube channel My Analog Journal: https://youtube.com/@myanalogjournal

There's this Norwegian metal band called Kvelertak and I absolutely love their sound, but have no idea what the lyrics are about as I don't speak the language.

Except, it is mostly scat/jibberish! Just in Finnish! Most of the song is nonsense lyrics.

I did not expect to find a Kvelertak fan in this thread! Cool!
If you ever decide to learn a little to understand them, know that the dialect in Stavanger is very different to what you normally learn.

Yeah!
I've had "V blbym veku" from Xindl X in a playlist for 10 years.
I don't understand a single work, but it just speaks to me for some weird reason. -

The artist Lescop is great. I know some french but not enough to really 100% follow the lyrics

There's a Mexican metal band Ladrones that I have the same issue with.
