I know it's not just Scandal that do this, but I've noticed the girls sometimes sing English lyrics in their songs. Does anybody know why?

I sounds sooo cute when they sing in English, but is that not a bit confusing for their Japanese audience? Or am I just being silly because they tend to know a bit of English anyway?

IMO that's because it sounds cool.
I think that's just it.

I think many japanese bands use some english in their song..

I don't know why they use it, but they are effective sometimes. Some bands know english, some don't. If they write their own songs, and they use english in it, then I guess they know english.

it's not just a liking of English but I would imagine some english words fit the song better. Plus, many English words have been adopted into the language so it would be strange.

As for whether they know English; they are recently out of High school and it's a major subject there. I teach, so I know to what extent they learn, its just a matter of if they paid attention or not. The audience will be the same. It's more common than you think.

such as
"kowaranai mirai kowashita itsumo bokuwo miteru arifureta MELODY ga"

ohh ~ nice call there Matt ~

so maybe the ones who can't speak english good are the ones that didn't paid

attention?

IMO japanese use ALOT english word in daily life also, just tht they change it into japanese (and it become katakana)

love = rabu
butterfly = batafurai

tht kind normal for japanese d, but when they pronounce it correctly it will bcome much cooler for the japanese
just my opinion.

aha aha aha aha (OW~) UR THE PLAY BOY~ xD
