Yeah, I do believe that Namie does have the talent for writing lyrics and she has shown that on the tracks that she does write. But she is intensely private and shy and I think that is the reason she doesn't write lyrics as much or it's highly possible that she does but does not take credit for them.
I do wish that she would write more though since she certainly has the life experience to draw on and some huge tragedies in her life that I think could make for some very moving lyrics - but it seems she would rather keep those feelings private. In a way I admire her for that, even if at the same time I want her to write about them.

While I prize great songs and writing more than I do great dancing. I definitely have to give Namie her props here - she is by far the best artist I have seen when it comes to singing and dancing at the same time.
