More like light years if you ask me.

This is shaping up to be one of her best albums to date <3 I'm so proud to be a fan of this woman! She always delivers.

This post 20th anniversary era, concept wise, is probably one of the best things she's done in career in quite some time imo. I'm glad she did away with 'Damage' and went the "pop" route. I'm diggin' this "
FEEL" era so much it's ridiculous.
Just seeing a more lively and engaging side of Namie is refreshing.
Witnessing her display such an array of emotions and seeing her become more daring with her music has made me see her in a different light. I'm glad she's finally comfortable with herself and her image as an artist (less stoic) and you can clearly tell when you watch these newer PV's from 2011 till current. She's finally come into form and she's happy with her music again.

*scratches head* Since when has Namie ever cared about catering to any particular demographic? Why wait until she hit 35 to all of a sudden reach out to foreign fans?
If she wanted to cater to an international audience she would have just come out and said it. She's not the type to make a career move and not come out and blatantly state her reasons. It wouldn't make any logical sense not to.
Let's be real here. This is Namie I don't give a **** Amuro we're talking about.
Also many foreign non-native English speaking artists sing songs entirely in English and have English facebook pages (purely for convenience) but prefer to remain local artists in their home countries. Having a mere facebook page in English isn't enough to make such a claim fact in my humble opinion.
