Ayumi & English

[Grantith]

I remember a while back reading somewhere that the reason Ayu never included English in her songs, was because she could best express her feelings in Japanese. Now that we know that her new ablum "RAINBOW" has English in some of the songs, I wonder what has changed for her. Maybe Ayu has been learning English and now she feels that she can express herself well in it. Or maybe Ayu's ideals haev changed. What do you all think? Learning English is the first step towards conquering the Western market. Maybe Ayu has her eye on America? What's your opinion?
