I never listen to Namie. Ever. However, something about Feel intrigued me, so I did throw it on my ipod. Yes, it is a solid and easy summer album with bright energy and flow. It is good, but I'm just not sure of Namie herself for some reason...
I've been a fan of Ayu for YEARS! I came in just before the My Story era. She has her ups and downs, but I can usually find a time when I'm just dying to listen to her! However, Love Again is the second album from her I had no interest in purchasing (Party Queen being the first). As with Namie, I gave it a listen, but there was nothing that brought me back for a second listen. I already own this album in Love songs form, and I didn't like that album. At. All. So I have absolutely no need to listen to it again. Rehashed, replicant, recycled, redundant of her entire career.
