If they are doing it for fun, and are aware that the translations may be inaccurate, they should say so. But many times they want to pass off as someone who knows what they are doing and even reorganize sentences or invent words to make up for incoherences from their poor understanding of Japanese. As a fan who has found on several ocasions that songs I loved had their meaning totally butchered up by innacurate translations, I greatly apreciate this list. And I don't think stylistic choices are really being condemned here? I've seen translations of the same song by recomended translators that had different wording yet retained their meaning.
