Well, she has sung a majority of her songs after that in full japanese... e.g. I think the whole Memorial Address Album, I think every song except Humming 7/4 on MY STORY.... so she hasn't gone fully blown on her partial english yet.... I heard from other posts that in one interview, she "disliked english"... if anyone could bring proof, that'd be great....

I find it degrading to the Japanese Language that English is bombarding upon songs.... That's one reason why I really like Ayu, because she keeps her songs in straight-up Japanese... Like, you see all these other countried try some English in thier songs, yet America hasn't budged language-wise!All they have put is Spanish, but look at all the other immigrants! Japanese, Chinese, Korean... If America is a melting pot, then they should show it! the only time a Japanese song made it on the Billboard Charts is Kyu Sakamoto's Sukiyaki. Sukiyaki. That must have been at least the 1960's when that came out... I find it odd that at least Hikaru Utada isn't on, or even PUFFY amiyumi.... Considering that PUFFY has a cartoon that showcases some of thier music, and Hikaru Utada released "EXODUS" in the American music stores...
