Thanks for writing in, D.K.

I asked Jason DeAngelis (our resident Japanese expert and the person who helped with the lyrics for "Itsumo Futaride") about this, and he told me:

When romanized, the standard way of writing it would be 'ai shite iru'.
In spoken Japanese, however, it often becomes a contraction
pronounced "aishteru".



Hope that helps clear things up. Thanks!

that is what they told me =/
