I've heard that Hyde actually credits an 'English Adviser' on at least one of his solo albums too... but I don't have the CD to check. |

-------------- High and Mighty Colour singers also sing in English. But their English parts are usually screamed out so I am not sure if their English is good or not. From what I can hear though their English is decent. ------------- So that's why the singing in .hack//Sign is so good!! The fact they found an English singer to sing English sort of make me have higher respect for the series. |

I also recommend Rie fu. She's one of my favorite artists.
Try Angela Aki. She's part something-other-than Japanese, (was it German? Some type of European? I can't remember) and so she doesn't have an accent when she sings. She sings the theme song for FFXII; that's actually how I found out about her. Her songs are more contemporary rather than pop. She plays piano too. (I believe she composes her own songs.) Also, you could try Crystal Kay. She sings the third ending theme to FMA. She's also blasian, which is pretty interesting (black/asian). I'm not sure if she has any songs entirely in English, but many of her songs have a lot of English in them. They have a nice jpop/r&b feel to them. ~ Noodlehead |

I don't know about you guys, but I don't look too much towards the lyrics. I listen for the music itself. The feel of the music. I'm fond of Beat Crusaders. Although their english isn't that good, at least the music is good to me. I don't really mind the heavy accented english and poorly penned lyrics
And DynamiteMILK, I'd love to agree with you, I partially do, but the words aren't appropriate. |

Both the songs you listed are good, but I prefer Tente and Frozen Peak from their album Petrol. |

Yuna Ito - Since her career just basically started, so she currently doesn't have any full English songs. But you can easily tell that Yuna is fluent in English during parts of her songs where she sings it. And yes, it's because she was born and raised in Hawaii. I just wanted to mention how seemless her transitions are between the two languages.

Originally written by Bart Howard, it was made famous by Frank Sinatra. As for the NGE versions, it was sung by multiple people. "Fry me to the moon, and let me pray among the stars..." Not the perfect example of an English song well-performed by a Japanese artist.
Another example I'd like to mention is "Logos Naki World" by Yasushi Ishi. Last edited by Neko-Musume; 2006-05-29 at 14:17. |
