I don't know any japanese artists that give every single song an english title and not sing a single english word in them. (sotsugyo doesn't count cause it's a cover song). I dont think it would kill her to try it out once in a while.

I really hope she'll smile on at least one of the covers.. She looks gorgeous when she smiles!
The last smiles we had was Secret CD-only and Glitter/Fated CD+DVD covers! I'm hoping for something that looks like the Days/GREEN covers.. But instead of flowers I want there to be snow, and I want it to be darker.. and I want her to smile xD *sigh* not gonna happen Last edited by Keiichi_JPU; 25th October 2009 at 11:29 PM. |

![]() Well... i'm not so interested about the covers. Haha, as long the songs are amazing ![]() ![]() I was disappointed with the BALLAD title, but hopefully this will be a good song, so it compensates the cheesy title ^_^ I guess i'm expecting a lot too ![]()

So where does the logic that English title = English content come from? Have you heard of a little thing called cultural integration? I think the world is globally connected enough that the English language can be used by the Japanese as they see fit. Same way that English constantly borrows from other languages. Ayu is using English titles! But she's Japanese! How terrible. She should be indicted! The notion of cultural purity should die together with the days of the Final Solution. Going over this thread, when did the forum become so whiney? Last edited by Uemarasan; 26th October 2009 at 09:51 PM. |

Let's take an american artist. someone that doesn't speak a word of japanese, taylor switft! its like her album fearless, is it? having every single song title in japanese. It would make no sense, she doesn't speak a word of japanese and you turn to the back of the album and see every single song title is in kanji like sotsugyo shashin, and anata ga shite kureta koto (yes, koda kumi!) I don't even think ayu knows what they mean. she didn't speak a word of english till just a few years ago and I bet if we went years and years back and had her read us the track list off one of her albums. she wouldn't be able to do it. it would be just as weird as if every single song off an album of hers had a title in french or swahili. Really pointless unless your incorporate that language into it. namie has tooons of english song titled...songs. but they all have tons of english in the lyrics and yes, she has a french titled song with no french in it (moi et tu? is it?) but that is one. you don't see her naming every song she has in french.

It doesn't mean she is fluent or anything but I'm sure it was enough period of time to understand the titles she is coming with. I'm sure she also learns new words when the time goes by. Also YUI is another example of using just English/romaji titles, she has no title in Japanese. Naming songs in English is just a trend in japan. For ayu's case at least she must know at least the meanings of the titles she chooses as she lived in New York 2 years before her debut and she visits the US/Hawaii almost every year.

The difference between the Taylor Swift and Japanese and Ayu and english is that in high school, there is an english class, so pronounciation of english is already known, even if theres an accent. In america, you dont have to take japanese one, right? so you cant compare. Japanese already know how to pronounce english ones, even if the meaning is not clear. |
