I hope for her 12th album Namie lets Nao'ymt produce more songs, brings back T.Kura, Michico, Shinichi Osawa, and keeps Steven Lee. Steven's production for "Supernatural Love" and "Neonlight Lipstick", despite being auto-tuned atrocities to many people, is great.
I'm glad Namie decided to work with more international producers (
to get it out of her system), but the songs seem to lack novelty because of it. But that's due to my over-saturation of Western music I guess.
For some reason I find her Asian produced songs more innovative and timeless.
The packaging for all three editions of the album is flawless. Especially those back covers.
