Ill answer some questions for you ^^

CREA: Crea is Ayumi Hamasaki, you sometimes see that name in her CD's, I guess its just her other name ^^

Yes, Ayumi does have a TV show, but she does not make them anymore. It was called "AyuReady?" (There's a link to it's site under the AHS banner.)

Her dolls (figurines) are called "Ayupan". There are many already out.

^^ Hope I could help (I dunno the other answer about the english titles ><")

No, 'sekai' translates to 'world' in Japanese.

My understanding on the English is that since it's very "fashionable", many artists incorporate it somehow into their music. I don't generally complain because it helps me remember song titles better, heh.

To further clarify things, CREA is the name she uses for her compositions. Usually you see "Composed by - CREA" CREA is Ayu, and also the name of one of her dogs.

Perhaps the whole "CREA" meaning should be a sticky since questions about CREA keep popping up every week or so it seems.

i dunno about the english thing but it' probably a good idea to have all Ayu's song titles in english instead of Japanese because Ayu's songs are released around asia and not everyone can read Japanese, so english would be much better

English is probably due to her attraction to the Western world. Also suggesting a more widespread message maybe.

eBay usually has it, but I'm not sure if it's reliable enough. YesAsia should have, but AFAIK, I'm not the most sure if they're still in stock.
