Have to say, nothing else in J-pop moved me, nearly as much as Finally by Namie Amuro did. I feel it’s such a monumental album, that I hope I’ll be listening still after years and years. While it’s a bit bittersweet at times, cos I really liked her newer songs as well, and since this is the end, there’s no more coming. But with an album like this, I hope there’s songs worth listening years and years after. As Kachu said on the first post, a worthy swan song for an iconic artist, and even more iconic career with it’s ups and downs.
