Ugh. I was so excited for this album. Somebody hold me. :'(
Right. Ugh. I know she's just a pop-tart and not meant to be ~profound~ and ~artistic~ but she's now making entire albums out of a language she doesn't even understand. tbh Namie's music/"artistry" has always been the most vapid of the jpop queens since she doesn't have like any input into it, but she's reaching whole new levels of pop puppetry these past few albums lmao.

The lyrics are nonsensical at parts too. They don't even sound like they were written by a native speaker? I mean we have gems like:

Quote:
Getting into my car,
or we'll let him wait
???

Do words even mean things?

Quote:
I hear them talking 'bout us, that we don't belong here
Guess it would make me sad but no, I don't care
????????????????????

Actually, this whole second track sounds like it was written by someone who took a few English courses and figured out that words can sort of rhyme sometimes.

Her target audience won't pick up on how awful the lyrics are but they're gonna bother the fuck out of me lmao.
