Also may want to take a look at The Seatbelts. They did all the songs for Cowboy Bebop and several of their songs are all in English and they give an amazing performance (I would NOT believe my friend when he told me they were all Japanese jazz musicians. That actually seemed an oxymoron to me at the time). "Call Me" and "Rain" from the series and "No Reply" from the movie are all good tracks.

I have one of Maaya Sakamoto's albums where she does a couple English songs, and she does a good job, IMHO.

IMHO, English is not the easiest language to speak fluently and with a natural accent, especially coming from a language that has no "R" (as in arr), no "L", and no hard "F" sound.

Ciao!
