Yume no Uta

I have to say almost EVERY Hikki song, since her style fits perfecty with english, and also some ayu stuff... Maybe Dearest, Seasons... Not so many.

I echo the same thing except the not interesting to me part

I feel you should leave Japanese songs as it's & not to cover them in Chinese/Eng as the results will be bad

I heard some songs that were remade from the original Japanese ones & it's not really nice :no

I agree
The songs should stay in Japanese and I don't think that they should really be translated into English. For an example, Passion and Sanctuary. Sanctuary feels a bit lacking lyrically so that she holds her notes out for longer than she should. I feel it would be hard to make the same meaning in another language when you have to worry about maintaining lyrics and having enough words to mean what you want to say.

The only one I see as a success is Simple and Clean / Hikari. Those are golden.

Also, Hikki can speak fluent English but for artists like Ayu and Kumi, the English depends cause they aren't fluent. So if they tried, then it might sound a bit jarbled and if it wasn't them singing it, it just wouldn't be the same song...

Ayu :

Mirrorcle World
Bluebird
Step you

Kuu:

Cherry Girl
Freaky
BUT
Lady go!

non, english songs irritate me for some reason

None, its not that I think english is completely lame or anything. But I don't think asian music goes with english words, if you get what I mean. For some reason I see a difference in how english music is composed and how asian music is composed.

As Amai_Yume said, I think the only real success from a japanese to and english song is Simple and Clean and Sanctuary. But thats cause utada is fluent in english and the lyrics were changed and the songs were just beautiful already.

probabley (these are just Ayumi Hamasaki ones):
-Blue Bird
-Fated
-July 1st
-Rainbow
and
-Dearest

Ayumi Hamasaki - Surreal
MISIA - Everything
Ayumi Hamasaki - M
Koda Kumi - Yume No Uta
Ayumi Hamasaki - Vogue/Far Away/Seasons (they are a trio so I sort of cheated and count them as one xD)

Edit - Also want to add why I named these. The lyrics to each are very touching and I think they'd make great songs to sing in the US. Plus I want to be certain that those are the correct lyrics!

But isn't it covered by someone else? I meant to say covered by Utada Hikaru herself.

I kinda want to here Kuu's Ai no Uta and Moon Crying in English, but only if someone else sings it.

none-
not interested-
I prefer japanese-

and personally I think it wouldn't be the same if they were in english-

Hikaru Utada:
Prisoner of Love
This is Love
Nichiyo no Asa
Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro
Keep Tryin'

(That's all) :D

Ayu~
1) HEAVEN
2) Together When...
3) JEWEL
4) No way to say
5) forgiveness

Utada~
1) STAY GOLD
(Al lI can think of)

Koda~
1) Pearl Moon
2) Promise
3) Hands
4) Tsuki To Taiyou
5) you

That's true... I don't imagine sons like... Evolution, in english.

^ yeah , I won't be easy for lyrics and the flow of rhythm

"Prisoner of Love" - HIKKI!

^:hi5 I was gonna choose that onetoo. :bhuck I think a lot people wanna hear POL in english.

First Love - Hikki
ourselves - Ayu
Lose Your Mind - BoA
Freaky - Kuu
What a feeling -Namie

Extra: Motherland - Kuri

ayu - Connected
hikki - Automatic
kumi - Hot Stuff
BoA - Winter Love
Namie - CAN YOU CELEBRATE?
YUI - LIFE

Didnt Utada Hikaru have an english version of first love...im pretty sure...O_O

I would want any ballads in english.... becuase they can put some powerful emotion behind those songs..it would be good to show people how deep their songs are!

^ yes, I agree. It's better to be in English since eng.'s spoken all over the world and ppl will realise how J-pop(esepcially AYu , cos I am Ayu's huge fan) is awesome. :D

Umm... okay 5 Ayu songs:
1. (miss)understood
2. Will
3. Pride
4. RAINBOW

great response for this thread, its really interesting to see the diversity in songs chosen for english translation. now if only someone would cover all these songs in english and make a tribute album to JPOP or something lol.

I want to hear a full Eng version of KAT-TUN's GOLD as most of the parts pertaining to the song lies in full perfect Eng

& it's a great song

I want to hear an english version of GReeeeN's Kiseki and Ai Uta. <3

there aren't really any songs...When an artist can't speak english correctly...it kind of ruins it sometimes lol like the "forth forth forth forth" sounding like "false false false false"


I would however love Passion and Hikari in English without the dopey lyrics their counterparts have.

The Japanese Passion is gorgeous. Sanctuary...not so much.
