They also seem to enjoy the homosexual and female empowerment subjects among the lyrics as well. TBH, I personally enjoy both the meaningful stuff and the fun party naughty type of music.

It's just the tastes of both mainstream markets and the fact that people seem to want to relate to different things. Japan has always preferred sappy love songs, and americans have preferred, anything else tbh lol
My only problem with hikki's english lyrics is that they're very awkward. It never seemed to me like she didn't completely comprehend what she's saying, only that, she's saying things that...no one really wants to hear about, or things that just make her weird instead of relateable. I mean, I like it, because I like her, but. She's far from anything "mainstream" American, even with her basic TITO sound.
