My favorite musician♪

My favorite musicians is Avril Lavigne. She is from Canada.



This movie was shown on a Japanese news program "Mezamashi (めざまし) TV" which is a live broadcast in the morning. She is so popular that news reported her to come to Japan.

I have known her on other music program. When I watched her for the first time, I immediately became a her fan. She is so cute and fashionable. It is unbelievable for me that she is 23 years old! Because she seems to be younger than I expected. She has already married. Her voice impressed in my mind straight. After listening her song, I found her CD. When I was a high school student, I have played "Sk8er boi", her debut song, in rock band.
In addition, she writes lyrics of her own song. I'm often encouraged by her words. She almost sings love song. I respect her strong will.
As the program says, she is active in many countries. "Girl friend", the most recent her song, is sung a part of this song in Japanese, Spanish, French, German, and so on. I expect her to sing a song in all Japanese someday.

Listening foreign music is good for studying. It is interesting to find differences between ordinal lyrics and Japanese translation! Don't you think so?

I knew Avril Lavigne was popular in Japan when I first saw her featured in a manga that was recently imported to the U.S. I like her music too. It's really addicting and get's stuck in my head. It's cool how she is both hard core and classy.

Hearing the translations of songs from Japanese to English and vice versa is very interesting. Its kind of funny how sometimes things can be completely misinterpreted.

Just a few sentences in your post confused me, like, 'Her voice impressed in my mind straight.' Maybe it would be better to say 'I was very impressed by her voice.'
Keep up the good work. ^_^

To holly
Thank you for giving me an advise. I have to study English more and more!
I haven't read a manga that is written about Avril Lavigne. I want to read it. I like her song "why". Which her song do you like the best?
