Lifer here.

I've been following Avril's career in Japan since Girlfriend in Japanese came out. Her Japanese has...always been bad. I really think a lot of it is just her not knowing, or people are just telling her it's amazing, like most Japanese people are wont to do, even when it's not. Avril's always come across as one of Japan's Kawaii Culture fangirls, even if she doesn't always seem to understand Japan.

I found the song cute. Wouldn't say it's going to win any awards, but it's a mindless pop melody I can bob my head along to. I'd rather do that at karaoke than Bon Jovi. So, meh.

I will say, that train bit gets me every fucking time. I went running the other day, and I actually stopped and looked around, confused, because the train normally doesn't come that late.

AYRT.

Yep. Been here since before "Complicated" came out... I have never really been a fan of her, not even back then, but I am sure her popularity here did not help. (Constantly being compared to her by just about every person my age didn't really help at the time, either. I look nothing like her other than having somewhat similar hairstyle.)

Was made to sing her songs in karaoke all the way since back in 2002.

She just seems so, so awkward on TV whenever she is here.
She probably has no idea what is going on, so that is half the problem.
Totally agree with you that she probably gets told how well she speaks Japanese from anyone she speaks to. She doesn't know enough to realize that is just Japanese manners.

Doesn't make it any less embarrassing?

TBH, she does not annoy me as much as, say, Miranda Kerr or the lady from the ボールド commercials.
