It'd be interesting to compare these "official" translation subtitles (presumably she approved these or done them herself like the English to Japanese translation for the Japanese version of Exodus) to the fan-done translations we've been using as gospel for years.

She really translated her own songs to English? After all these years?
I always wondered why she never did this sooner.

I'm not sure - I haven't watched it to the end/credits yet but I imagine she was involved in someway with the translation.

She did, this is what she wrote on Twitter:

Heya�� My concert video is now available on iTunes and Netflix worldwide. The English subtitles for Netflix are official (the lyrics are all translated by me, and I edited and rewrote most of the talking bits)

O wow. I compared the fan translation of SAKURA DROPS to her translation and it was very different.
