Ya Boy Kongming!
| This got me as well, all the songs in the show except ending and opening are bad, I just skip them whenever someone tries to sing in the show because of how terrible it sounds |

| I concur. The show is great, I still had to skip a good chunk of the latest episodes. There's no way I'm gonna deal with that I'm still alive today ever again nope sorry absolutely not thanks for trying not my cup of tea I'd rather listen to a loud jackhammer for extensive amounts of time. Even just mentioning the name is giving me nightmares and stuff. |
| All? Did you really pay attention or only listened to eiko clips? Even the main song of Eiko is half english half japanese which you can notice at episode 2 already.. The only full english songs so far was Mia's song, Eiko's tuning/chilling at episode 1 and Eiko's singing with Nanamin at street&Skycrapper(? if I remember correctly) and the azaela song is also in japanese which appeared so far in occasional referencing you can hear a short clip of their song at 3rd trailer which already revealed who is the main singer x) [0:38], all the rest of songs are in japanese here's clips if you've forgotten already: And here for english clips/songs/parts: namkeenchoot said: I don't understand why every single song in the show is in English because lets be honest the singer's pronunciation of the English words is terrible. I mean they could just sing in Japanese not like the show is taking place in America or something. Now ask yourself how many people at world speak in english and how many of them are real native speakers x), pronunciation isn't bad (except for Kabe) so I don't know where the complain comes from are you Bri'ish? + The majority of popular songs overworld are english or spanish so surprised that in other countries like Japan people tends to sing in english? That's not only for anime but for real life too, in Poland you can too find alot of polish singers who sings in english mainly, I wonder why. When I hear somebody mispronouncing words irrespective of how good of a singer they are it just distracts me, the opening and ending songs are fucking great but I really can't get into the songs in the anime itself. I am basically watching a music genre show for reasons other than the music tbh. I am not saying that Japanese people shouldn't sing in English but what I am saying is they could have just stuck with Japanese that way it would have sounded more natural and probably would have been easier too for the voice actors. Basically singing in English just seems unnatural and forced in this show. If you're so trigerred cause someone took a step forward to not only sing which is very hard and I do speak from experience (karaoke) but also sing in foreign language which is superior hard (also from experience of karaoke) and you can't appreciate that than maybe try by yourself to sing something in your native language not to mention the foreign ones x), if ya can't enjoy music how the present you than why on earth are you even watching this show, that's not the first time it happens, the japanese songs are mainly at Idol anime, so I guess you've forgotten but Carole and Tuesday was famous and guess what, there was alot of english songs etc. Some people should just learn how to chill while watching anime/listening to music. |

| Just to make people die from cringe. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| The only thing I hate are people who feel like they need to put others down for something as insignificant as a non-perfect pronounciation of a language that isn't their own. You are indirectly saying that no one should ever learn a foreign language because unless you can do it perfectly (which no one but a native speaker could first try), don't ever bother singing in any language that isn't your first one because it's "unnatural" and "forced". I love the songs in that show, and so does everyone I know who also watches this show. But I guess that's because we aren't entitled English speakers who think everything has to be perfect or otherwise don't even bother. In a world dominated by English songs, especially with the intent to reach a global audience, of fucking course people are gonna sing in English, regardless of how well they can do it. I'm sorry your sensitive little ears can't handle our non-perfect English, but hey, you found the mute button, so good for you 🤷♀️ |
| I've only watched 2 episodes so far but it's most likely because Eiko was influenced by an American singer who was visiting Japan. If you have noticed then English songs or songs with a mix of English-Japanese easily get popular, special among the western audience, Japanese people most likely think it's cool too so that might be yet another reason. And I don't agree with others who say that it's fine for her to be singing in Engrish, her goal is to become a popular singer and given how her boss keeps on saying that she IS a good singer, she really needs to work on her English skills first. |

| It worked a lot better in Carole and Tuesday where they had actual English VAs do the songs. |

| japanese people probably think that engrish is so cooru sanavabitch |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |

| maybe because they know who their target audience is? My first thought upon seeing the show's trailer/cover art/title was to wonder: ok, where is the netflix logo hiding? Cuz this thing gives netflix vibes. |
 |
| The "Engrish" in this series is nowhere near as bad as you all are making it out to be. It's one of the better ones. If you wanna hear some awful Engrish singing, just listen to Excalibur's song from Soul Eater. |
| You guys don't listen to songs with English lyrics made by non-native speakers? English lyrics is pretty popular in Europe, when targeting an international audience, as that's a language that most people learned, besides their mother tongue. |

namkeenchoot said: Lmfao you call me triggered? Look at the size of your fucking response you idiot. All I said was singing in English was rather unnecessary and you sent me an entire fucking summer project ROFL. Also I belong to a country where English is not spoken natively so idk wtf you are on about. Look at the responses of other people in this thread because to me it looks like others also don't exactly like the songs in this show you dumb twat so for you to say something along the lines of "Why are you watching this if you don't like music" doesn't really make sense because most people I know who are watching this hate the music in it not to mention the music is objectively decent at best and what was it about Eiko being influenced by Western artists? Was she the only singer singing in English in this show? Because I swear every other character is singing in English. I never even said the singer was bad I literally said they didn't have to bother with it native is best sing the way you are comfortable singing. And I've said that why complain when it isn't bad... You were complaining about pronunciation which isn't even bad x). Never said that someone is supposed to like it or not, which is not the point of the stuff I've said, only that complaining for non sense over such basic stuff which is almost common and repeated already for xth time. "Don't like the music" The major song which most of people complain about was inside 2 trailers so it was known it will appear but whatever. Gonna skip and ignore your insults cause if I would like to response it would be 3x longer summer project of polish slurs and this thread would be instantly locked. + Look at the point which is also said above me капает Kurwa or not?"

| after the last episode I started to get kinda annoyed by that as well, especially when she sang at first without the soundtrack it was terrible. There are some good songs though that Eiko did before, but yeah some are just bad. I would've preferred if the VA was jap/eng bilingual or the songs she sang were Japanese. (most of the verses at least) |

RentNoGirlfriend said: Uhm, okay? I mean I'm not the one who validated my claim with that argument, you did. If you accept it's not always a good idea then why did you bring it up to begin with? Cause it is my main view, if something can be done in a good way or bad way by the same method why wouldn't you want to try it, if it turns bad than just try again and take notes of the mistakes and later improve by avoiding those mistakes. For me personally those songs are not bad, except for rapping which is actually in Japanesee but here is my personal view on it as I don't like foreign raps and I enjoy only polish ones where I can "feel" (read hear and understand) the rhymes. Yea, I wholeheartedly disagree with that. And I think you too disagree with that in any other instance it would apply. If you disliked the taste of, say, a certain fruit, then according to that line of reasoning you wouldn't allow yourself to complain about it before trying to grow at least an orchard of that fruit. I'm pretty sure you -like most people in the world- dislike fruits you never grew a single plant of, but even if you don't you still have to acknowledge it's an unreasonable expectation to push onto others. I suppose you've made a mistake here or maybe my own logic is wrong/different as your example I would compare it to try cooking it on your own way instead of planting something, cause it's different to bake your own pizza with prepared/bought ingedients (like in karaoke, singing with already written lyrics and prepared beats/instrumental stuff -> realised I've made mistake previously as when I mentioned try singing on your own I wasn't mentioning there to trying make your own song but at least trying sing karaoke of any song should've mentioned that) than planting all the vegetables and fruits, farming the wheat and making it later into flour to later prepare ingredients for your future pizza (which would be also comparable to writing your own song and creating a bpm, instrumental, chords, anything which includes there as I am not that much knowledgable in stuff behind making your own song which in both cases of cooking/singing have a higher chance of failure but in this case I guess you could categorise it as a "high risk high reward"). Believe me or not I did it for 1-2 plants but for fruits/vegetables stuff I have a specific reason to it which I share to people whom I trust so sorry not gonna reveal that here. That is why when I really complain on something (cause always people can have negative view/opinion on something which is quite different but very often related/similar) I say that about stuff I already know in at least basic level, for example which I don't write often or almost never I complain on difficulties of putting 4th finger on violin strings which is hard and I hate that. If that's the case then I apologize for saying you should have taken your own advice. Thanks but no need for apologizes. That's the feedback/results of text communication as you can't see my body language and hear my tone/pitch of my voice etc in real life you would already notice that I am completely chill while talking on these stuff no matter if it's positive/negative/neutral view on x topic. |

| I myself don't see the problem. I fucking love these song. They just slap. A lot of different anime songs and openings do use english words and it isn't bad. I don't find the songs bad because "Oh No EnGrIsH" Art is art and the songs slap. Hell both Mob Psycho openings slap even though they are also mostly english. |

| Because Eiko's goal is to become a super star and to achieve that title she must reach as big of an audience as possible. Which means singing in English and Japanese is the way to go. It's just like in real life. A lot of J-POP, J-ROCK, etc artists and bands have English words in them in order for the song to reach a bigger audience. You know because English is a universal language. That's my guess. If this was their reason then that's a HUGE plus in my books. Definitely helps me get more immersed while watching the show. Even though it's just a teeny tiny detail. I hope this answer satisfies you! 😁  |
| Is the pronunciation really that bad? You can hear the accent, but I feel like most words are said correctly. And only one song is entirely in English because it is an English song. I consider it to be like she sang songs like Shape of You or Bad Romance (or whatever is/was popular in the modern world), so it is logical to be in English. However, your question might have been more directed as to why did they choose to go with an English song. Here I think they just thought it was cool and are probably following the manga. No idea how noticeable it is to the Japanese. But most of the songs are your usual japanese with some english added, that's like most modern japanese songs. Also aren't in some english songs purposely mispronounced words, just to fit the melody better? Not like I can give example, I don't pay it that much attention. If you don't like it it's valid, tho I feel one of the reason why it stood out is because the song was repeated quite often. Her new song is mostly japanese so hopefully you can enjoy her last performances. |

| It's funny because I think they went with English as a way to make the show more sellable worldwide, since not everyone listens to Japanese songs, and it totally backfired. I could be wrong though. |
| I'm genuinely confused. Have the people on this thread literally never listened to J-pop English in their entire lives? |
