I love your covers! Better than the real ones if you ask me.

[Delicious n Bold]

It's such a hot dance song, In the SPOTLIGHT. Re-kindles my love for the album.
Too bad Namie's Engrish is apparent (hear the froor XD) But a song wholly in english is a good move.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

^ I don't think it's too Engrishy. It's nothing like the first verse of ONLY YOU

[Yumsushi]

In the spotlight is allight (lol) but I can't understand half of the song, just like Only you. I don't know, I'm not sure I like all Engrish songs by her. I feel like the songs are missing the "cool" factor of her other songs.

There isn't anything in the song I can't understand... Should I post lyrics?

You can, but that doesn't negate the fact that I can't understand what she's saying and that takes away from the song for me. I hope she's not doing it for her international fans, I mean we all became fans without the need sfor songs fully in English.

[pommy48]

I don't understand her in Japanese, so the Engrish is fine to me lol

[Not Fade Away]

I can understand everything, there are a few words here or there where I can sense some Engrish creeping in, but for the most part it sounds pretty good.

If she's doing English songs for her International fans, then I think it's a wonderful thing. I think she's trying to include her fans globally in her 20th anniversary and it just looks better for her image.

I'm waiting for the pv before anything

[*hearT_Place*]

I really like it!

[koumori]

I love it! Thanks for the Dailymotion link.

I can understand if I listen really well, but the awkward english is still off putting for me.

It always is, with any singer I listen to though. I try and live with it lol


But I'm more disappointed with the fact that it's just a very...um, here I'd call it "radio friendly" song. It's just there. It's not bad, but it's not great. Very mainstreamy, sounds like two american songs mashed up together.


Personally, I wish people in the world would stop trying to put out songs in english, but it seems to be the way to go.

that Sweet cover is yet another beautiful magazine cover from namie!

[CoriKaru]

"In The TRASHCAN (Recycle)" is lazy. I don't like it at all.

It seems in her English songs, she's so far out of her comfort level and trying so hard to get the English right, that any effort to make a good and interesting sounding song with a cool melody goes out the window.

Generic Crystal Kay Crap. Nah.
