I think I'd be frighten if I heard somebody singing, "A WOMAN COULD BE LIKE A NUN!" in the hall at school. XD
Exactly.

In any case, IF she's going to try it overseas (probably not), I hope she sticks to Japanese.

I Am... would appeal much more to American taste, I personally think. As would Duty.

ayu cant sing in english....and if she really spoke english and decide to try to crack america, i think the chance of her hitting it big is small. virtually no non-US acts have cracked the american market.

How about Europe? She'd have much more potential here in Europe, than in USA

wow~~ what a topic!!! thought about it though... it may b a nice try but not a neccessary one i think... she is doing well in Japan and Asia... but i think she should focus more on Asia.. conquer the whole Asia.... until then there will not be a problem of conquerin America with some English songs
hmmz... but i dun really wanna hear ayu singing english songs... for some reasons i dun really like english songs...... i still prefer pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ songs :p

I think that she should sing in Japanese too. But I think USA would just ignore her, even with a good promotion. She should start with Europe, and then if she succeeded, she should try America (mainly Latin America)

I think she would still have alot bigger chances of succeeding in Europe than in USA. Europeans are also more tolerant in terms of language..So she could still sing in japanese. That's probably cause alot of european artists sing in their own language, and get popular in other countries, so japanese wouldnt be as strange for europeans as it would be for americans i guess....

.....

sorry. Guess I should avoid starting topics then.

I'm not saying she should anyway. I'm saying what if it did happen. I don't think she should, as I've stated before.

Whatever.
