Many fans don't realize it's in English due to the singers accent though (which resulted in such mistakes as the [[MemeticMutation often joked about]] fan-sub translation that had the lyrics "I was a believer in life" as "I want to be a river in life").

* So are Anna Tsuchiya's "Rose" and "Lucy", both openings to ''{{Nana}}''.

* ''SuperSmashBrothers Brawl'''s theme, "Audi Famam Illius", is in, you guessed it, [[OminousLatinChanting Latin]]. There is also a remix of the main ''FireEmblem'' theme, with the Japanese ForgottenLyrics rewritten in Latin.
