Wow, this title made me a do a double take. To be fair, a lot of anime series use mediocre-to-good jpop singers. It's kind of funny how our perception is that they are 'better' just because they are Japanese. American bands probably have a lot of drawing power in Asian countries.

Yee gads. An Avril Lavigne cover of Nickelback? That's a lot of awful packed into one little song there.
Thank goodness Arcade Fire and Rush are around to redeem Canadian music.

An Avril Lavigne cover of a Nickelback song? I think I'm going to go gouge out my ears with sporks now.

I knew it.
But really, not too surprised on the cover of How You Remind Me. Considering that Avril is engaged to Nickelback's lead singer, a cover of one of their songs was eventually going to happen. Plus, I think she'll do a decent cover of Bad Reputation.

yeah, but that songs only good when Nickleback sings it. Avril couldn't even do Joan Jett's song justice so I have no hope for the nickleback cover. Oh well, it's not like I actually watch One Piece. The Japanese viewers probably won't know the difference.

WELL. That came entirely out of nowhere. I actually don't mind Avril too much so its kind of interesting news. And two theme songs? Also interesting. I defiantly can't imagine her singing 'How You Remind Me' though.
I can hear Funimation's pure frustration over licensing already.

So it is "creator's intention" indeed!

It does to Oda, at least.
Here's an idea: just have Hatsune Miku do the cover for those songs - then all the fans would be fine with it!

I think the license fees just tripled.

Avril Lavigne covering Nickelback. That's just wrong on so many levels.

1) Japan will probably love this because I don't think they're capable of disliking western rock music.
2) *barf*
3) Blame Canada (For real this time)

There is a difference between what Japan produces, and what America produces. The problem is, America produces more s*** than they do good stuff.
