OMG there's another non-Namie-stan here!? (Just kidding.) Wait, you mean "write," as in, compose? Or lyrics? Because I was annoyed that she never writes her own lyrics, but I didn't think she did a single composition... If she's composed something, I do have to give her props for that.

It makes me rethink--everything.
Even if some people do think she's a complete joke, her sales for this album did well debuting at #1 and selling more than NL.
So obviously not everyone has this opinion.
Anyway, I'd love to see something a bit different from Ayu. I look forward to 2010 and I hope she raises the bar on her next album.
No more overtly rock overtones or covers by Sweetbox though.  |
So.... Some people think Namie Amuro writes most of her stuff..? Oh my, I need to get the word out, lol... And a major reason she's selling so well is not only because of great promotion, but because this is her first studio album in two years. I can guarantee Ayumi would have sold at least 200k more than what really happened, had she been in this position. Hell, maybe even Kumi would've. :O But we all know this'll probably never happen for those two, at least not the 'waiting two years' part. -_-
And I agree with you about Ayumi. I do think she took a good step forward in her career, but I want more!
Maybe I'm just being greedy...
