Do you know who put even more time and effort into these songs? That's right, the producers. Having their own creations mistranslated to the point where the original meaning has completely disappeared, that's what insulting.

Here's an example where two translators get a different meaning from one line from the song: "告白予行練習-another story-"

Original: 少しのわがままも　僕なら聞いてあげられる 少し背伸びをして　精一杯の笑顔で

AmeSubs: Even I can listen to a bit of your selfishness, your bright smile as you tiptoe to reach me.

descent87 / ukwildcat387: Though I'm a bit selfish, I'll listen to what you have to say. I'll bear with it, putting on a smiling face with all my might.

I honestly don't know which one of those is correct (or if both are mistaken), but as you can see there is a big difference on what is conveyed through those words.
