I never remember correctly how I became a fan of an artist, but I try to remember something. Well, as I said before, I think my first song was HIDE&SEEK. I'm pretty sure I was on YouTube to find her songs. One of my friends was a fan of her and I had never heard of Namie, so I decided to listen a few songs from her. I don't remember what year it was, maybe late 2007? Oh well. Anyways, in 2008 I became a fan of her. Before that I thought she's a nice singer and almost forgot her. But then I started to listen to more and more her music and I bought Queen of Hip-Pop album. I really liked it and listened to it a lot, but then I started to like Kumi and Ayu more and I forgot Namie again. I sold Queen of Hip-Pop to my friend (and now I regret it >.<) and I didn't listen her so much anymore. But then she released WILD/Dr. and I started to love her again.
And I love that cover for Fine, she looks great.
I love her smile.
