and taskinst doesn't flow well...it sounds wierd when you pronounce it. Taskinlude, taskinillusion, tasking etc. all flowed in english. I wonder how they could improve on taskinst? maybe get rid of the hard "s"? =/
But you forget... it's not an English album. Nobody in Japan will pronounce it "taskinst". "taskinst" is a stylized representation of the Japanese title "tasukuinsuto", and that is how it is actually spoken.

In the same way, M isn't "M", but it is "emu". evolution isn't "evolution", but "eboryuushon". If Ayu's titles were created for English speakers, we wouldn't have "Are You Wake Up?" and other strange titles. Not a single person in Japan will have much of a problem pronouncing "taskinst", and the album is for the Japanese market.
