Red face Ayu in other languages?

Would you really like to see Ayu release songs in other languages?

At first the idea sounds cool... but then think about it...

Im Greek/Egyptian so i listen to a lot of Greek and Arabic music too... When Greek singers release a song in english - it usualy sucks. The words are so corny and there isnt as much feeling in the voice of the singer. Yet, when you hear the same song, but sung in their native language - suddenly its full of emotion and so much stronger because of it.

Perfect example (its a bit old song now but still) :

English Version: "CALL ME" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=algXWhcv3Ls
Greek Version: "EISAI" (You) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7b-wZwLENE



I dunno - this is just what i think i guess, but i would prefer to hear Ayu singing in Japanese and to be proud of it. There is no need to start singing into other languages.

{I know i will get flamed for it, but even some of Hikki's english songs are pretty ordinary, while her Japanese ones are great}



What do you think?


*sorry to post links to another artist in an ayu forum but i think it proves my point >.<
