Well, English or Japanese, don't matter - Namie's music is always shit.

I've finally decided to stop being less of a file hoarder and an obsessive "completionist" and went through my entire Jpop folder, previewing every song and trashing all the ones I hated. Namie's folder got a WHOLE lot smaller. Seriously don't know how she's done so well when her vocals are so removed from the tracks she sings. I can't connect with those songs. They sound washed out, boring, repetitive, drab. It's like, some monotonous clap-heavy arrangement without doing anything to enhance the melody or chord progressions of the song itself. PAST>FUTURE was a truly atrocious album and I never reallt realized that until now.

Ku and ayu know how to create lush environments with their music (or at least used to). Namies material is just noise.
