I dont really understand this debate between "westernized" or so.
Japan is a western nation.
It speaks a different language than english, yes, but many definitions of "the West" include Japan.
Japanese foundations in law, politics, and education were influenced by American occupation,
And Japanese modern music started immitation of American.
Blonde hair is a native to very small amount of the population of Earth,
But maybe 75% of america use blonde hair dye to make a blonde hair.
I dont feel it is any different than Japanese doing the same.
Those people who dye their hair blonde dont wanna be from Netherlands, or similar.
They just thinks it look good.
Same in Japan.
It is a lot the same way as people who like Japan, but arent Japanese.
Is it okay for you to like Japan, but its not for Ayumi to like American?
I dont understand this.. I dont think I can even understand it.
It's a really confusing, and sometimes stupid concepts.
In Japan, its just you wanna to look good,
And red hair or blonde hair can bring out a really good look in a lot of skin tones.
That's all...
It doesnt wanna to be white, just it looks better than a boring black hair, in many people's opinion.
Or .. I dont know, do you want her music just to be traditions of Japan?
Stop with her sounds, and move to non-westernized sounds? orz;
And the english titles.. she cannot convey the same english meaning in Japanese titles,
Or sounds really dumb. I think it's just an artist thing.
Such as,
Neverending Dream - > 果てない夢-> Hatenai yume. It doesnt have the same impact.
Or, poker face -> 平気な顔 -> heiki na kao. It just sounds so stupid. ahahaha.
It's just for artistic effect~~
