But recently I been looking at their pv's and I have to say. It's not as good as it used to be. Either that or they're not putting any effort into it.

I noticed Namie's Slip Up around Can't Sleep, Can't Eat.

BoA's around Sweet Impact

& Koda Kumi around Freaky.

I don't know Maybe is just me but I can recall them dancing way better some time ago.


Koda Kumi: Secret - Black Cherry Era
Boa: Listen To My Heart - OUTGROW Era
Namie Amuro: Style - Want Me, Want Me Era
I've noticed too. Namie at least has the age excuse though, but the dancing in her tours is still usually great. Also, Namie's dance period should be greatly expanded to include nearly all of the 90s as well. If you are looking for evidence of her technical skills as a dancer - jumps, pirouettes etc., you've really gotta look at her stuff from the early/mid-90s.

She seems an ok dancer in the video, but she barely moves at all in the lives.
