If she is deciding on writing an English album, she'd write the lyrics and probably have them analyzed for grammar mistakes. I'm sure she knows that she'd have to be PERFECT at English (By the way, BoA probably would've done better, maybe up to how Utada did, if she could speak English perfectly. Anyone see an English BoA interview? It's way to obvious she doesn't speak English fluently)

I really don’t see it working THAT well. Ayu has never had her lyrics analysed before, even her vocals on songs like “White Christmas” and “Someday my Prince will come” were dubious at best. It’s Ayu. She’s a perfectionist, if she was ever going to seek help in singing in English, it would have been for songs originally written in that language.
I just look at examples of English in NEXT LEVEL, Energize’s lyrics aren’t exactly ‘fluent’ and I remember many English-speaking Japanese jumped on her incorrect grammar (double plural in “Boys/Girls-tachi”)
We're not trying to be negative (or I don't THINK we're trying to be) but we have to face it that if fluent Utada can't make it, what chance does Ayu have with her Engrish?
I'd still support her having a go, as it gives some of us a better chance to see her live, but I don't think she'll do well in the charts.
