    xD Suteki has multiple connotations, as do many english words. Usually for this song, wonderful is chosen.

    I would like to take this time to note that if you want to sing to the tune of suteki da ne, but with english words, you could always put in the words to The Skies Above (the black mages' version of To Zanarkans)

    The first two verses fit very nicely with a few minor changes.

    I think most songs that are originally made in japanese should stay in japanese. If you translate them, it takes away the beauty with which the artists performed them

    No, Real Emotion is what you get when you take a teenage girl, give her ecstasy, cram some form of rusty hook down her throat and THEN get her to sing. If I wanted to hear music like that I would just bash my head against glockenspiel several times.

    As someone that plays the glockinspiel, I resent that.

    Xylophones are better anyways. Orchestra bells are way too high pitched xD they go straight to your brain.
