In anticipation of this inevitability, he has made efforts to localise his talents and competently redelivers his songs in various tongues including French and Japanese as well as brand new tracks such as “Depend on You” – which features entirely Japanese lyrics.

Is this inferring that he wrote Depend on you because that's totally not cool if it is ;/ his cover is good though

If you watch his "Lost in Translation Part 1" video, he mentions that "Depend on you was originally Japanese and was rewritten into English" or something like that. I thought the same thing as you at first. "That's not cool! " He could have at least mentioned that he covered it though.

@Milox I asked the same question and he does say stuff along the lines of its an original Japanese song.. I think he just worded it awkwardly heh

Yeah, and after watching the video and hearing the message in the step you remix, seems Avex gaved him permission

as well as brand new tracks such as “Depend on You” (originally made famous by Asian megastar Ayumi Hamasaki) – which features entirely Japanese lyrics.

That's really weird, because I could have sworn it didn't say that before. I'm 99% positive that "(originally made famous by Asian megastar Ayumi Hamasaki)" line wasn't in there 12 hours ago. Am I just crazy or something?

Edit: Nevermind. Someone commented that Ayu wasn't credited anywhere and he replied to the comment saying he would "look into getting that sorted".
