I'm trying to hold back my emotions. I don't want to acknowledge that it's over. It's too upsetting to see the era of Jpop that I love take another step closer to becoming a thing of the past. But nevertheless Namie will always be special to me.

I was listening to Play yesterday and rediscovered Should I Love Him? and Pink Key. They are part of Namie's hidden gems. In regards to the Uncontrolled topic from earlier. I love that album. One of my favorites.

Uncontrolled and Feel remain my favorite releases for the 2010s. Feel is actually a contender for my all time favorite albums of hers.
