I'm not saying that Faith was a fad. I'm just saying that some aspect of Christianity can be a fad to some people in Japan, just like how people in the US would wear gothic crosses and well not all of them are religious (but because the look nice). I was trying to answer the question in the first post that said

I'm just trying to state that it would not cause a problem if it was religiously based, and I was giving reference to why it wouldn't cause any problems. But whether or not other artist have title songs that are Religiously based because they believed it them or as something the just find interesting. There have been other songs with religious reference and it hasn't cause them any huge trouble that I know of. So...

I didn't mean offend you or anyone by implying that HYDE Faith Album was a fad maybe I should use line breaks more? So that it doesn't seem like I'm implying those songs were a fad. I tend to get my thoughts mixed up, and ramble sometimes or rather I switch to a different topic without really giving any notice (does that make sense?). Sorry if I confused anyone.


But I suppose to clearly answer the first post. We may never really know why it was named M but her decision to name it M has noting to do with the reason that it could hurt her reputation if she named it Maria because...


1.It wouldn't matter because Maria can just be a name (if anything you can make up a reason why its named that way to avoid controversy)

2.They don't have anything against Christianity in Japan (there was a time when they did shun it but that was a long time ago I can't really remember when sorry), from what I seen religious isn't really as important as some of the traditions and honor. I think most Japanese practice and not many are purely any religion since most practice some from of Shinto because after time some of it is blended into traditions they practice.

3.Other artist have songs that are religiously based and titled.

I really hoped that cleared up what I said earlier...

That's interesting I didn't know that, though I can't really imagine it being called Bliss, if it was between that and M well I'm glad she pick M it sounds much nicer and its kinda mysterious too if you know what I mean, after all we can only speculate what it means.
