And I mean without looking at the lyrics.
I can :)
Since I don't speak it, no, I can't sing it.
Some songs I can.
Some children's songs that I remember I can sing a bit still.
Only a few anime openings and some Jpop, but only because of memory.
Singing in Japanese is just remembering the phonetics unless you're fluent in Japanese.
I've performed Rammstein's Sonne with my band. That sort of half counts, because I was remembering the German, but used the English translation to help me learn it.

Same here. The easiest song for me to sing is most of "Kanashimi wo Yasashisani". *Holds up flame shield* But right now, I'm trying to learn most of L'Arc~en~Ciel's songs from the album AWAKE.
I can't without sounding the words out first. xP
I can sing in Spanish though, even though I don't speak it. I sing to Cheetah Girls 2 songs easily. xDD
I have a friend that can sing in korean, but other than that, no
You can learn to sing any song in almost any language if you listen to it enough. You just have no idea what the hell you're singing about.
Yeah, I can. And anyways, to all of the people saying that it's just memorization and stuff, a LOT of people learn Japanese/English or any other language through songs. Furthermore, it does wonders for your pronunciation.
Just getting that out there.
No, but I can sing songs in German! Mainly children songs, but still... it's nice to know more than one language since you've lived in so many places!
"Grun grun grun grun alle meine kleider...." One of the more annoying German songs I remember.
Depends on your definition of "sing". I could pronounce the phrases just fine, simply because I've taken a crapload of Asian history courses and I've learned how to say many a crazy Japanese name, but I wouldn't have a clue as to what I was singing.

Yeah I've heard that. It'd be awesome if I could do that. :D
No, I'm not a total weeaboo.
i can speak but i dont want to sing.
The only Japanese song I can sing is "Tsukurimasho!" from Azumanga Daioh! :P
That's the song Chiyo-chan sings when she's making food. It's really easy to sing, maybe that's why :D
I can sing a bunch of songs, but mostly only fragments of them, or only if I listen to them. I can sing all of Rolling Star by Yui without listening to it or seeing the lyrics.
Eh...some, I guess. And I know one song in Korean. I just have to listen to the song a lot of times :P.
I'd rather just stick to speaking Japanese. :-\
With looking at the words, I can usually do it very well, but I only have parts of songs memorized.
