Somebody who understands both Japanese and Spanish?
Sometimes, when i hear japanese talking (in songs with subtitles), i think.
Perhaps if you get the spanish language, and turn it into yoda from star wars dialect, you get something similar to japanese dialect?
I may be rwong, but it puzzles me sometimes :D

Japanese has a similar set of phonemes to Spanish, this being by pure coincidence, so saying they sound alike is not uncommon. Since I learned to speak Japanese I can no longer speak Spanish without it turning to Japanese half-way through because you use the same basic set of syllables.

Not much chance. The Japanese language is a language isolate, not even distantly related to major language families found in Asia.
On the other hand, the Japanese use a writing system mainly based on Chinese characters, and from time to time use English words because they sound cool.
