I love that Namie has her own style of self-promotion and how she shows her personality, and doesn't bow down to the pressure she must be getting to spill some gossip or do a 'tell-all' interview or something. When other artists have been more open with their private life on Twitter etc (Like Ayu), I've actually found myself losing interest...I'm not really sure why. At first it was exciting, but then I just started wishing that celebrities would start being a bit more refrained about sharing details..

..I feel sorry for celebrities, they really can't win. Anyway, tl;dr: I agree with you, Namie gives off the impression that she wants her music to represent herself and that's more than fine with me

Haha yeah! Sometimes i'd love to know as well, but i like when a artist keeps most parts of their life private, it adds some mystery to their persona and work which keeps me interested.
Also, i've had artist say that they are totally different from their "celebrity/artistic" image, which i'm sad to admit actually makes me lose interest sometimes.

They really can't! It's a complicated business.

@Aloopy LOL she did? Nobody mess with the queen, she'll put you on the streets with zero yen.
