Back from work and I read all the posts that passed by here

I don't hate Hamasaki for lip syncing, I just think it's more realistic that she does lip sync than saying she rarely does or never does. I just don't understand how peopel can just say "she rarely lip syncs" when (now that I've been proven wrong) she performs tons of the same concerts all over and people (mainly members in this forum) base what they see from 1 recording out of all the concerts she did.

And on top of all those concerts since they rae probably all the same, does she cry everytime she sings Who...? Same tears and say joy all at the same time? Maybe that's why there's only 1 recording that is sold to the public. You see she and her dancers do the same exact routine every concert. Tears and all I bet. There was once an old rock group that performed in LA and a friend of mine got a recording of the group and watched it before the group came to his city in Florida. At one point near the middle, the lead singer tripped over his mic wire and messed up his lyrics. Looked completely real, then at the live performance in Florida, same spot at the same time in the music he trips on the chord and the same scenario occurs. Does he manage to 'accidently' do this each concert? Just the same way as Hamasaki can shed her tears? I think SOMETIMES she cries for real but that's a rare case. Like when she's thanking her audience and so on, but not during songs.

Anywho, I'm sure if she doesn;t anything that can be considered "cute" people in this forum will jump on it and be like "WOW SHE SO PERFECT! ^^" or whenever she has dejideji or is in a magazine every other comment "cute" "kawaii desu ^.^" "she so pretty" Bleh... Hamasaki is so overrated most of the times. I just see her as another pop singer trying to make it big, succeeded, and is now falling downhill rapidly.

I'm sure when she sings HONEY live it'll be enhanced if not lip sync'd. The reason to that is because she can't produce nasal singing without enhancements unless she rolled around in a flower bed and got her nose stuffy, in which case we should see some snot flying.

As for you Surreal, I don't read her lyrcs, I just listen to the song and if it sounds good then I like it. I don't understand hardly any Japanese so I could careless if she was singing about killing Americans or something, if anything it would be funny. So yes I just listen to the melody of her songs just the same as I do with all the other Japanese singers I listen to. Maaya Sakamoto's song Tune the Rainbow, I liked that song a lot before I read the lyrics and come to find out the lyrics were just as powerful as listening to the song. Doesn't change the song to me though. It still holds same value as before I read the lyrics because I don't remember it all and don't know what line is what when she sings it, it just sounds good. Maybe that's why I like techno/trance so much because it doesn't matter what it consists of, as long as it sounds good.
