I am so over Break It >< but I guess it did come out quite a while ago so it wouldve been easy to overplay that single since I pretty much thought it was going to be ages before we ever see the album knowing Namie xD

That's really cool Benikari, love your font choice too.

Uh, not such a big fan of IN THE SPOTLIGHT. I mean, if I was looking for songs like this I could download J.Lo's album. Hopefully the other two we are waiting for are better.

You're right. This song sounds a lot like J.Lo's recent hits, but funny to say, I actually enjoy all the similarities to J.Lo. I first saw Namie's So Crazy PV in 2003 and literally thought J.Lo was singing a Japanese song... and that's what made me a fan of Namie haha. I can't explain why.

In the Spotlight could be an actual hit song in the west. Hope they somehow make Namie an international success. She's still got so much potential!

I LOVE In the Spotlight. I loveee dance songs like this.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

[Not Fade Away]

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

Totally agree.
I thought she said "I can take the lime tonight a fire, but just a little rain" or something. Then she says "so why if skies aren't always so brue".

[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.

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.

[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!
