Maaya - fluent in English?

Lyrics at my site, also have "Do you know what I mean" ^^

(but this is exactly what I'm talking about. I don't mean English you can't understand, that's not an accent, just English that you can tell is not spoken by a native, fluent speaker)

Didn't you get those from an official source? :lol: so I guess it's gonna be the same XD

I don't think having an accent will deter people from thinking she can speak English or realise 'oh she's not a fluent english speaker' because there are plenty of people who are fluent in another language whose accents are appalling...An example being my friends Japanese dad who speaks German with an accent like Yoda from Star Wars but is perfectly fluent.

That's very true. People will still come to mistaken conclusions regardless. :/ oh well.

(as for the lyrics, I don't own that album so I had to get them from someone else's site, I think they're accurate though XD [I don't give credit for songs in English--how hard is it to type something up? anyone can do it--so thats why there's no credit for it on my site XD])
