Would you hold it against someone if they thought about death before they die?
I guess I just have a different interpretation of her than you do.

Obviously you can think about but also, she was dreaming of this huge farewell concert all the time, the way she presented it is like all the time she couldn't wait to finally finish her career and go while she is still at the top. Like, what's so wrong about going without a dome tour if you can do what you supposedly 'love' for a much longer time... For me it's really just, ugh, this kind of 'dream' just is so 'toxic' to me. I just really have a problem with that but I do see your point and understand it... And obviously I wouldn't with the death but if we'd adapt Namie's situation to death, it'd be like someone having a great life, not old tho, who can't wait to be older and finally die so he can look back at their life.
Obviously I WILL want to look back at my life and be happy when I die but I don't want to think about it now that I am still young nor do I want that in 25 years. Same with whatever passion / job (supposedly Namie's/my passion)
