Why not ? Her pronunciation is probably better.

So she can crash and burn like Utada, boa, crystal kay, and all the others? No matter how great the songs are, that's what will happen, unfortunately.

I realllllly like songs from "Love songs" but I never listen to this album as a whole, is too slow-tempo for me. And "LOVE again" it's pretty forgetable to me also.

MAKE LOVE AGAIN

Album title not starting with LOVE.

Because Namie is the "it" thing and has a "cool" image. Namie singing in English supports that image. But if Ayu would sing in English her fans would feel as if she would betray their Japanese culture.

And she's already dealt with that notion enough after two marriages to foreigners, lol

And I find this so ignorant. I still don't want her to do it, but if she did you know I'd be buying that shit and supporting her.

Yes, it's ignorant for sure.
I mean, one reason I listen to J-Pop is because I love the sound of Japanese. I would be a little sad if Ayu would make an entire English album, but it's not like it would be the end of the world.

Friendly reminder: Namie is 1/4 Italian.

How is that related to literally anything that was being discussed...?

That's a misconception though. Namie's father was European but Namie's mother (I think it was her talking) said she didn't know or remember.

It used to be written in all profiles and magazines back in the 1990’s, but Emiko Taira herself (Namie’s mother) stated that she never known which origin was her father. She only knew he was European, she said “maybe English or Italian”. I think Namie’s company thought that Italian was fashionable and exotic at the time and decided to go for it. The truth is that Namie only know she’s not 100% Okinawaian. Her father may also have been an American of European decent, that’s what a few Japanese website write.

Chibi-Chan · #**314** 2nd February 2015, 08:46 PM

Who's father? Namie's father or her grandfather and therefore Namie's mother's father? lol

Trying to break the debate between ayu's new album in English and Namie's old English album. We should not put ayu and Namie in a debate because they have different style

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #**318** 3rd February 2015, 01:23 AM

But I also think that boa, crystal kay, and Utada have different styles and they all failed.

ExodusUK · #**319** 3rd February 2015, 01:57 AM

They probably went with the Italian thing because Namie was about all about the tan phenomena back in the day.

hayasaki · #**320** 3rd February 2015, 02:36 AM

I have a feeling that the new album will be released early april and will have the CDL too. Like how they did with Party Queen.
