English Lyrics {Your thoughts}

[Ryoko]

It's always fun to hear English and Japanese mixed into a song, especially when you look at the lyrics. For instance, in hyde's "Oasis", he sings:

kotae mo nai
my fever's getting high
odoru shinigami
all around all around me
tsuki to taiyou wa
it's a regular rat race yeah

Knowing these words, I think mixing English and Japanese to fit the words according to the beat is quite effective. If hyde had said "Without an answer" or "answerless" it wouldn't go at all with the next line. So I like hearing English in Japanese songs, and in the lyrics, is very interesting. I think you have to have a great knowledge of both languages to mix the two correctly, like how Verbal does it sometimes.

If the singer doesn't know English, I think it's no good.
Sometimes it's necessary to convey your thoughts in another language because you just quite can't express it in one.
