Oh no
 I love her Japanese, that's one of the reasons why I listen to her  Her english is not that good to actually sing with, But these are a few I wouldn't mind hearing in English:"Rule, M, Mirrorcle World *since the translation of this one is rather strange* and Days."

I mean her english is adorable but I don't really like the way her singing voice sounds in english to be perfectly honest...it's like it was only designed for Japanese if you know what I mean .But I guess if I had to choose at least one song I wouldn't mind in English it would probably be Sparkle. EDIT: Actually Connected wouldn't be bad either come to think of it  .

 She'd probably end up doing some of her ~classics. "Who..." or "Boys & Girls" were already performed in other languages (at least one verse of "Boys & Girls" ...right? At the Asia Song Festival a few years ago? Did I just make that up?).

But i would say, her Mandarin is adorable too. I remember i saw some youtubers covering ayu's songs in their own English lyrics.

Japanese is a more beautiful language to listen to phonetically IMO. And I don't think the result would've been great, even english singers seem to have problems coming up with great lyrics in their native language. I know there are good lyricist writing in english too, but they don't seem to contribute as much to the chart toppers as at least decent lyricists do in other languages...
Given the outcome would've been decent, I'd prefer my favourite tracks I suppose. =)

I think a lot of people are missing the point of this thread... but anyways:
 I like the idea and always wondered what she would do (I would rather see all new songs, but I would also love some old ones sung in English too) I always thought the track list to A Best 2 White would of been a good mix... some of her best songs too from that era! 1. Evolution 2. Greatful Days 3. Independent 4. Humming 7/4 5. Unite! 6. Real Me 7. My Name's Woman 8. Ourselves 9. Inspire 10. Step You! 11. July First 12. Fairyland 13. Voyage 14. Moments Although I would exchange Humming 7/4 for Heartplace Inspire for Game an some other song for Voyage... maybe connected or something else off of I am...

Well if it had to happen, what would your ideal tracklist be. I'm sure with the help of someone else who is fluent with English and Japanese on her staff, they could maintain the true meanings of the song.

I think this a good topic/question. As weird as it is, it's a somewhat realistic situation because we see this happening all the time with other Asian artists trying to go international, especially the K-Pop acts.
So, for Ayu... Ballads: Days Curtain Call Pride The arrangement of these ballads is pretty standard and resemble that of other international acts. Other songs: Rule Connected About you until that Day... glitter The selected songs are just a few that contain elements of general pop music that could help Ayu crossover. "glitter" not as much but it would help to introduce people to that side of Ayu because it's not as overwhelming of an upbeat pop song that Ayu is also known for.

Cherry totally know what you mean about her voice being designed for Japanese. Haha
Sparkle Pride A song for xx!! Mirrorcle world Because of you Rule About you!! Really... Her rock and electronic/pop songs would be great in English.

I love her Japanese songs as it is.
Even if she were to sing in English, I hope it'll be a totally new different set of songs. I don't wish to see any of her Japanese songs in English version. That will be confusing!! and many singers are doing that these days which I don't really like it.

I've been trying to sing singable Rainy Days English lyrics made by someone here in AHS (but I forgot the name). And the song and the lyrics really blended so well. My eyes get watery while singing the song. So, my thought is, Rainy Days would be a perfect English song for Ayu
 EDIT : Found it ! In this thread  singable English lyric by Tomoyo
