Listening to STYLE now, and I think I might like it more than PLAY.
Namie's style is really interesting. I think...out of all the Japanese artists I've listened to....her music really reminds me of American music the most...I don't know why everyone says kuu was the first one to do it...her's is nothing compared to the depth at which Namie's later music seems influenced.

STYLE's from the BEST FICTION era. It was her first really Hip-Hop album, and I'd say it's more Hip-Hop and less accessible than PLAY, so I'm not sure how you'll like it in comparison. But I completely agree about the American thing. Even Kuu's most R&B w/e song isn't nearly as American style Hip-Hop as some of Namie's music.
