True but her lyrics in Japanese could be just as awkward and I wouldn't give a damn cause the reason I like Hikki and the first and foremost reason I like a lot of Japanese music and artists is the SOUND it produces. I can't comprehend what they say as they speak it so that is secondary to me. So for much of Exodus, that sound remains (the Hikki sound). Her lyrics on there are also not as terrible as This Is The One. Those are just god awful.
