Default This is going to sound weird but...

I'm trying to find out how to say "I am only looking for a girl who is Japanese." in japanese. Can anyone help? I'm writing some lyrics and i thought it would be cool to say it in native tounge (you know to gett he girlies sweating )

Thanks!

like frequency said.

but if you're writing a song, you may wish to sound informal:

nihonjin no ko ni shika kyoumi naisa
日本人の娘にしか興味ないさ

or, if you want to make it rhyme, here are alternative endings

naize, naiyo, naine, nai, nainda

Oh I understand

日本人の(女の子 / 子) を 探しているんだ
Nihon jin no (on-nanoko / ko) o sagashite irunda

This is the most normal saying..

探しているよ、 sagashite iruyo is too girlie....

探しているのさ、sagashite irunosa is not cool.

PS. 日本人の子、Nihon jin no ko has both meanings of Japanese kid and Japanese girl.
