North American company releasing title:
Pioneer
Japanese version that North American version is based on:
As originally broadcast on Japanese TV

 Description of what effects the edits/changes had on the original story/plot (opinion)
The song was probably changed so Pioneer didn't need to license the song for the English dub, but it's still unfortunate that the familiar song is missing from the English dub.

 Detailed description of English dub changes
In the Japanese language version, Tina practices the well known song "Happy Birthday to You" while walking with her groceries. Later at Aoi's birthday party everyone sings "Happy Birthday to You" to Aoi. In the English dub the song "Happy Birthday to You" has been replaced with another tune with some other lyrics.
