- At first i thot you meant Steffanie.
-
- UY has a number of all-English songs:
- Every Day (UY ED8) Steffanie
- Born to Be Free (UY3 OP) Steffanie
- Remember My Love (UY3 ED) Steffanie
- and mostly-English songs:
- Chance On Love (UY OP4) Cindy
- Open Invitation (UY ED7) Cindy
- Rock the Planet (UY OP5) Steffanie
-
- But in Project A-ko? Let's see, the three songs in that were:
- Dance Away (A-ko's theme) Annie
- In Your Eyes (B-ko's theme) Samantha
- Follow Your Dream (C-ko's theme) Valerie
-
- And Capricorn? The only song Animage lists from that is:
- Sayonara Stranger Days (ED) Hiroki Yumi
- But it can't be her, she has a last name. ^_(

- I don't know who you mean. Maybe she's singing in Japan because they
- don't notice how bad she is there. Maybe she's a media-manufactured
- no-talent like Kylie. Maybe all English singers sound like that to
- you.
