Children from Korea, Taiwan and Japan go through regular English language instructions at certain point of their mandatory education life, followed by hardcore night-cramming classes. Not surprising when English words & phrases begin making it into their daily lives.
Though they can read English to a certain degree, they are bad-to-terrible at speaking. Then there are cases where I've got some acquaintances who cannot understand regular English words, but somehow able to comprehend Japanized English. Example: they cannot understand the word number but can perfectly comprehend what I meant when I said nanba. Nonetheless, in the case of my nephew, he went to a German invested school in Tokyo, and had the choice of either picking up English or German as his 2ndary language education. Personally, I rather they wouldn't. I loved Hamasaki back in the day because she never used English in her lyrics. Not that I have a problem, but placement of English words & phrases in Japanese lyrics have to be somewhat precise in order to avert sounding peculiar or worse, gibberish. For example, a particular character song in Clannad was sang in incomprehensible English, and while the singer actually speaks English fine, the lyrics came out utterly and completely wrong. - Tak

You don't know how hard I laughed at "Sluto" in the scanlations.
@Maggy, I'll try my best to dig something up when I'm not swamped with hidden agendas and when I'm not too obsessed with Hans, don't even ask.

Good to see that Kiss in the Galaxy is finished now, even if some words they used were weird, like Pioneer instead of Frontier and Sluto
Too bad they couldn't translate the final part where Alto gives Sheryl a ring and they dress for a wedding and all that stuff, because the group don't have those scans
