Watcha guy's think of 'em?
I like some of their songs... Like Tokyo Nights and the Teen Titans Theme...
But can anyone help me with the lyrics to their Japanese songs?
I mean I don't like to listen to anything with degenerated lyrics.. And it seems that they sing about random happy things.. Or love and stuff... But many of the songs don't make sense when translated.. And they just seem to be random stuff... Like many anime songs... Help please?
I kinda think the songs are open up for interpretation.. But I'm still kinda confused... Cause I personally haven't seen anything wrong...

They're all perfectly fine in my book. I don't know what they are saying in Japanese, only that the tunes are really good.

And let's say for sake of arguement that one of their songs in Japanese actually has some lyrics about, say, drugs or sex or something (which I'm REALLY sure they don't) Then what? You can't understand what they're saying...how can it hurt you? You can't say subliminal messages, because again, you DON'T know what they're saying. There can only be a subliminal message if you are able to comprehend the language.

There's also problems in translations, half the time they don't make sense anyway. So I wouldn't be too concerned about it there.
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.
