Hmm, I beg to differ. In 2006 she released twelve singles (sixteen if you count all of the 12 weeks singles). This year is not so bad I admit...she'll probably hit four single releases by the end of the year and that's okay, but she also released another BEST album at the beginning of 2007 (which IMO was unneeded considering how soon it was after her other two BEST albums). The thing I noticed is that the more she releases, the more generic her later releases are. I don't know who's in charge of her promotion stuff but they must be thinking quantity > quality or something.

I'm confused here. Usually a lot of people having the same thing drags down the uniqueness of that thing...so when you say, "that doesn't mean they're unoriginal", you must mean the SONG itself right? Not the title? Because the title is as unoriginal as they come; the song, it's too early to tell. I believe most people were commenting on the title.
Yeah, and that's just how it is, but that doesn't mean it can't be helped. No one forces anyone to have this title or that. I think it's a stretch to shrug off the title "Come Over" by saying it's a snip of Namie's song and Ayu's song or Xtina's or whatever, but you have to admit that "Ai no Uta" is a common title--in that same format, no addition or subtraction needed. But yeah, I'm going to wait and see too. Based on KK trends for the past year or two, I'm estimating a typical ballad release, but I guess we will see.
I stopped being a big KK fan after the "Secret" era so I'm rather critical of her work...for the past two years, I'd say she's either been hit or miss.
