wouldn't it be nice if she got her English songs and sang Japanese versions?

Hmmm. Never thought of that, In that case. It would be cool for a Japanese version of Kremlin Dusk..

Well I do think that's a good idea, and I hope she does that with some of her songs in the future, but I've always thought more about how cool it would be if she could make English versions of some of her Japanese songs.

Yeah, that would be cool, I mean she has done Japanese to English like Hikari to Simple and Clean. It would be a cool idea, if she does it.

I actually love what she did with Distance and Final Distance. I'd like to see her do something like that...where maybe she translates the lyrics but composes/produces it in a completely different way.

As long as people don't get the wrong idea and think she's just "recycling".

it would be kewl, but on one of her interviews, she said she just like to keep the language that she wrote for the song, like if she wrote japanese song, she likes to keep it that way, same goes for her english songs i totally agree with her!

She should keep the songs feel, but bring it in a new way

ahhh.. the translating part
that's kinda hard because you have to pick to use hira, kata, kanji...

well she's very good anyway, so I think she might translate them all

I toootally agree too!! :3

Buuut.. for the sake of answering the poll, i decided on About Me. I can't.. picture any of the other songs in Japanese really. >_> But i can hear About Me in Japanese for some reason. Maybe because it's got more of an acoustic feel to it... and it feels more 'moldable' than the other songs..... uhh, i dunno. XD
