what? Namie's songs are waaaayyyy more AMERICANIZED than Ayu! LOL. (do you think BALLAD, Don't Look Back, and Microphone sound AMERICAN? I guess not, they're all J-Pop and almost sound so Eastern-Traditional IMO)
all those short english lyrics, they are all in Namie's songs' verses, choruses, and even bridges! o.O
Those damn chaku-uta downloads lower ayu's sales nowadays IMO...
