Material is definitely not lacking. That's how ayu made Free & Easy. She was inspired in the Joan's Of Arc story after she watched THE MESSENGER movie. It doesn't need to have a lot of clue after you've watched a movie and know that somebody had a history like that and then feel inspired into writing something about it. Maybe it's a weird trendy fascination, but then, if they like that, I don't see why it should be so ridiculous, I dunno. About the cross, many westerns wear crosses when they don't give a damn about the religion, so we can't really blame japanesew on that.

Umm, somehow I doubt it. Japanese people love to secularize Western religion by making it into a fashion statement or something. If this is like that, I'll be really irritated. But neither of us can really make any sort of definitive statement with the song not even being out, can we? Also I've never heard of a Western person wearing religious jewelry without being religious themselves.
