I don't know why she decides to do it, but it's not such much an accent as the Japanese version of the word. If you know much about Japanese, you probably know that English words can be written into Japanese in katakana. I think when she wants to make things a bit more Japanese she'll avoid singing the English word or phrase in English, and just do it in katakana. One of the strangest instances is Kiss & Cry, where shes says "donto woori beibii," but then sings "I just want to be happy" in perfect English a few seconds later. I'd be interested to know why she makes those choices.
