"If someday DON'T exist"
DON'T
DON'T
DON'T
*echo echo*
*screams in grammar nazi rage and falls into crying*
It's not right... it's not right... this is Sakura, Chiru... it was so pretty and graceful with beautiful lyrics...why?
Don't exist... D;
...
Well, beyond that small moment of shock... I decided to stop it before it got to the part we hadn't heard in G's preview. I want to leave it a surprise even if I'll be in suspense now that I know I could listen to it all the way through in the English version. I'm intrigued and excited to hear the duet. I wonder how their voices will mix.
GACKT's looking great for such a busy boy! So many things going on recently. It's like the twelve days of GACKT Christmas again. PV releases, news, duets, magazines... *whistles*
I'm also really proud of our boy, TAKUMI. ^^ Of course his first guest would be GACKT. :)

I think, the reason why the use of "don't" instead of "doesn't" bothered me more here than other typos I've heard is because it doesn't sound like a mistake as much.
People who natively speak English (at least in America) use it because they either genuinely don't know better or - more commonly - they're showing off attitude. It gives the feeling of trying to be cool/tough/sassy by not caring about the rules, so it kind of sounds abrasive.
The lyrics were gorgeous and pronounced correctly with no accent. It's a beautiful scene, I see pretty cherry blossoms, it's flowing smoothly like I'm being carried on a nice river~ and then "pop!" the bubble bursts and I'm left confused looking like this: D:
as the song goes on as prettily as before...
Random question! You said you're not a native English speaker, so, what is your native language?

My standards became ridiculous after GACKT... I'm more excited in how the duet will work out than the fact that there is one with YOHIO. No offense to YOHIO, though! I don't follow him, so I'm simply not excited about a duet with him. GACKT with his smooth, rich vocals, and YOHIO with his budding vocals... I love the Japanese version. I'll see how I feel about the English one afterwards.
Yay, Greek! That's really cool. I've met people who speak many different languages, but not Greek. Wow. ^^
