I hope you don't mind that I replied once instead of four times. ^_-  The way I
understand it is that in Japan, where Christianity isn't such a dominant
religion as here in the U.S., crosses in pop culture are more of a symbol of
the supernatural, or of spirituality in general, than of Christian redemption
specifically. Wearing a cross there could be interpreted in a similar way to
wearing an ansate cross here.

I suppose Lilith is crucified because of what she represents: a return to
whence we came, to the primordial soup, to pre-humanity. Just as Christ was
crucified even though he only brought us what was good for us (according to
Christian belief), so Lilith was crucified even though her release would be a
gift and a blessing. You'll notice too that her "execution" was just about as
permanent as Christ's.
