Truthfully, I thought Namie would pull a Seiko Matsuda/Madonna and sing/dance forever. She seemed like a workaholic so....Ugh this retirement news this just too depressing!!! She was my role model throughout my teens and I've loved every single she's put out since Can't Sleep Can't Eat I'm Sick (when I was first introduced to her). Sigh...I'm also guessing she's pulling out that Best so soon so she can spend the rest of 2018 touring.

Maybe she'll surprise us and give us that 2nd checkmate, and a best of b-sides???? That's only probably just wishful thinking tho lol...
