As much as we think it's cool to say japanese words, the japanese find it even cooler to say english words.

Alot of japaneese thing western culture is cool, alot of teens do atleast. So why not pepper up the story with some choice *EXCITING* sounding engrish words

You're right, Klinky.

If you want a great example of this love they have with English read the book
Hokkaido Highway Blues: Hitchhiking Japan By Will Ferguson.
A damn funny book and a good look at the Japanese society and mindset.

I gotta buy that someday......
