Namie Amuro actually released an american album of Concentration 20 and had a debut in 1997 i never knew this must've been before she got pregnant and married to TK. It shocked me to death!!!! and she is on the regular MTV site. And Ayumi Hamasaki is not so i guess Namie Amuro is still known as the queen of jpop to mtv. She is more talented LOL. It has been rumored at Virgin Records that Namie's producers Rodney Jerkins and Dallas Austin are actually trying to get her to crossover her english is pretty good. They produced her entire Break the rules album and Concentration 20 it is going to be awesome i am praying this is true. she is basically hip hop anyway and her music rocks. Utada may be paving the way. I hope within 5 years Namie and BoA will be here we gotta wait and see i hope

Namie surely win ayu in the dancing part =P

I don't think Namie's slower stuff would be too successful here...maybe the kinda stuff she did with suite chic back in the day.

I agree. I like her Suite Chic and her old Eurbeat stuff. I think if she went back to that and released in the US that she would have good feedback.

I'd rather see Ayu in the US first though. And I totally agree about the dumb kids that'll be acting like they were fans of Jpop forever because they heard the new stuff. morons..

I really don't think Namie is more talented than Ayu.

[MsMiyabi]

Namie Is more talented Than Ayumi is some ways!

[ohsixthirty]

Hrm...interesting. It'd be cool...but then I don't know how I'd feel if suddenly everyone was listening to *my* music, haha!

[Nu-NRG]

put it this way..Namie is talented in dancing and Ayu really can't dance but she did improved but it doesn't mean Ayu is still better a dancer then Namie
and on the other hand Ayu is talented and well known for her writing lyrics and Namie..i duno if she ever did as i'm not tad a big fan of her

if Namie really do debut here it will be kinda funny...in the US..we got Hikki vs Namie
then in Japan we got Hikki vs Ayu why not make ayu debut in US first
but ayu english is...x.X

[ImpactBreaker]

Yep they have different talents...can't really be compared. Of course if you wanna say "dance" or singing hip-hop songs, then namie is really more talented than ayu, but in other ways, ayu writes much more complex lyrics and variates more in the style of her songs, so ayu would be more talented in that part. Has anyone ever listened to this english album of her btw?

[Sakura_Drops]

If she's gonna cross over her english needs to improve a lot and does she even speak english?

[CyberSpaceQueen]

Sounds great!
I would looking forward to an Englisch album of her!!

[MsMiyabi]

If Namie Came to the U.S she would have moe Sales than Hikki! Mostly is she realsed Suite Chic in english!

[voltron]

I don't think that there's anything to be excited about just because she had an album here. Puffy AmiYumi has two and are barely known, Kuraki Mai also has two American albums I believe and they both did pretty poorly, Dreams Come True was meant to be a crossover band though I'm not sure anything actually ever came out here, Coco Lee had an album and I think she has another one in the works. Moral of story, most Asian artists flop when they release something here.

[jiayulam]

if she ever crossover.... for sure her album will be better than exodus.

[yulen]

i think namie's style album in english would have down VERY well
