How many songs can you sing?

I karaoke to Ayu. A lot. So there are quite a few of her songs that I have memorized. I was wondering if anyone else karaoke's to her and, if so, what songs can you sing without looking at the lyrics? These are the ones I know:

A Song for XX
POWDER SNOW
For My Dear...
parts of Trauma
parts of immature
Boys & Girls
parts of End roll
parts of P.SII
appears
parts of monochrome
parts of Duty
parts of vogue
parts of End of the World
SURREAL
parts of Key~eternal tie version~
I am...
Connected
evolution
NEVER EVER
M
Dearest
parts of no more words
Endless Sorrow
parts of WE WISH
Real Me
Free & Easy
parts of Heartplace
parts of Over
HANABI
parts of everywhere nowhere
parts of Dolls
parts of Voyage
ANGEL'S SONG
parts of Greatful days
ourselves
HANABI~episode II~
No way to say
parts of forgiveness
Memorial address
Moments
INSPIRE
GAME
parts of CAROLS
RAINBOW

Wow, that's a lot more than I thought it would be...
I can also sing along with practically all of her songs if I've got the lyrics(romanized, of course) in front of me. Is this unhealthy?

About all of them. I don't know why. I memorize songs really easily, even the ones i don't really like. But most of the time is when i hear the music that the lyrics comes out of my head by heart.

*nods* Me, too. Without really meaning too. I listen to a song a couple of times and then one day suddenly start singing along with it and I'm like "Oh, I didn't realize I knew this song... O.O"

Actually, I speak practically no Japanese. *sweatdrop* But I listen almost exclusively to j-pop/j-rock and watch a lot of sub-titled anime, so I've picked up on pronounciation. (Not to brag, but I seem to have an ear for languages. My French teacher loves me.) And like I said, most of them I learned by accident. I can only think of few that I taught myself to sing.

hmm do "neologisms" singing count? I never read the lyrics and memorize it, I kinda memorize the main tones and it kinda flows when I sing. I gotta say CAROLS flow pretty well when I sing it.

I know parts of pretty much all of them and a lot entirely, but I don't think I could actually go and list them. For the record, I know very little Japanese, so I only get a line here and there...the phonetics of it just stick with me.

I like to think I can pronounce Japanese fairly well, and pick up on it a lot. Not to mention songs that I listened to even when I was 9 still stick with me. ^^; The songs I could confidently sing byself with no lyrics in front of me are:

End roll
M
evolution
NEVER EVER
HANABI
No way to say <---I definitely know this one since I had to memorize it for a talent show

And almost all the others I can sing bits and pieces to, and often do. Ayu is certainly the singer I karaoke most. ^_^

I have a 'special' way of singing Ayu songs... they kind of contain only vowels and couple of words every verse... like "Ayayaya ohyeeaooo alala ANO HITO WA lalayoooee..."

I can sing Appears and End Roll with the words, but that's about it.

HAHA! That's SOOOO how I sing along!

I'd be so traumatized if anyone were to ever catch me!

I tried to sing Ayu songs before, and it was very difficult for me to hit the high squeaky notes that she does. But then I joined choir and found out that I'm a Soprano I, which is basically the higest female range, and it stumps me.
I can do it if I get to my head voice. I don't think it's healthy to stay in the chest voice and sing that high.

It's exactlly the same for me..having problem hiting the high notes, but I think I can do it now by practice. I still can't sing the chorus in A Song is Born though..

I don't know japanese at all, but for Swedish people it is very easy to learn how to pronunce Japanese. I can sing fast songs as evoultion and ourselves with no problem, I don't know how but it all comes naturally. I can almost do the rap part in Fly High (at least the first verse)!

I know most of her songs, well maybe not all of them perfectly, but many of them at least. I think Appears is the most enjoyable song to sing!

XD I sing karaoke very often and usually whenever I hear an Ayu song I just go sing along and later I go. "was I singing??" It comes rather naturally and her songs are catchy. I hear. I sing. o_o I also TRY to mimic her but isn't always sucessful. Her high notes are rather easy to me. XDD But I don't think it's unhealthy to know how to sing ALOT of her songs. For me, it helps me let everything out because anywhere else I can't shout. _-_;

A Song for XX
YOU
Trauma
Appears
Duty
I am...
SEASONS
Key ~eternal tie version~
(kinda...pushing it..XD) evolution
Naturally
Still Alone
A song is Born
Dearest
No more words
endless sorrow
Real me
Free & Easy
Heartplace
Over
HANABI
Voyage
Independent
ANGEL'S SONG
Greatful Days
Because of You
Ourselves
HANABI ~ep II~
No way to say
forgiveness
Memorial address ~take2 version~
Moments
INSPIRE
CAROLS

I can memorize things very easily, so I can sing a lot of Ayu songs. But some I can't karaoke-- I have to sing along with Ayu.
