I don't know any japanese artists that give every single song an english title and not sing a single english word in them. (sotsugyo doesn't count cause it's a cover song). I dont think it would kill her to try it out once in a while.
She's been giving all of her songs English/romaji titles for ten years now. Really, deal with it. It's such a trivial thing to complain about.

So where does the logic that English title = English content come from? Have you heard of a little thing called cultural integration? I think the world is globally connected enough that the English language can be used by the Japanese as they see fit. Same way that English constantly borrows from other languages.

Ayu is using English titles! But she's Japanese! How terrible. She should be indicted!

The notion of cultural purity should die together with the days of the Final Solution.

Going over this thread, when did the forum become so whiney?
