unique song stylings
Sometimes, in order to withstand the Engrish in some anime theme songs, I pretend that it is actually Japanese. This came to mind when I was listening to .hack//SIGN's OP, "Obsession." (sample lyric: How come I must know, The direction of relieving)
I guess they must have saved their good English for their other songs. "The World" and "In the Land of Twilight" are practically Whitman in comparison. And "Emerald Green", despite 2 extra syllables in Emerald, (it just wouldn't sound the same without them) remains one of my favorites in the whole .hack series. (See Saw's stuff is good. Why aren't they more famous?)
