Arrow About Ayu's Song Titles...

Do you like the way Ayu mostly uses English song titles rather than Japanese?? I really think English titles fit best for her... I wonder how her Japanese fans feel about this...

If I remember correctly, her only Japanese song titles are...

Hana
HANABI
HANABI ~episode II~
kanariya
Sotsugyoushashin

only 5 out of... what 90 songs? O_o;;

To me, I find it much easier to remember her songs with english titles. It's not to say that I don't like Japanese-titled songs, since "Ai no Uta" sounds better, IMO, than "Song of Love". I guess she titles them in english to appeal to a broader audience, but that's just my guess

I like how she does them in English. I think it works for her. In a strange way, it balances out the fact that she rarely includes English in her songs (which is something I really like).

Also, "Sotsugyou Shashin" wasn't written by her. It is a cover song.

I think it's neat, and yeah, I like it because it's easy for me to remember song titles!

It's also really interesting, if you think about it, because besides a few songs, the song title never appears in the lyrics. Maybe it gives her a lot more freedom in naming the songs.

I like it how it's in English, it's easy to remember. Unlike...say eg. Yuki Koyanagi's "Anata no kiss wo kazoemashou~You were mine~" o_O" Wtf...super long title, awesome song though.
