Was there any explanation why CHANCES ALL chorus is reused in Rich & Famous? I'm assuming they are lyrically connected. The low quality of the preview doesn't give the best impression of the track, I'll just wait for the HQ version.

I wasn't talking directly to anyone here for that reason I didn't quote any of you but was rather talking about the general feel the international fan base has been giving me lately. This is the only music forum I'm on and the majority of people in this thread are cool & non-dramatic, which is why I'm still here. I don't know if there are Japanese boards & what people are talking about there, my Japanese friend was talking specifically about Twitter. And it's only normal not to like everything, this year there's just been mostly negativity about anything she does where most of it comes from unrealistic expectations.

Some of the comments I read on insta are: if she can't produce better MVs she should just retire / should use her own money to make better MVs or I can't listen to the new songs cause the covers are so bad, etc. Complete BS. And those are the actual fans I've known for a few years who can't seem to grasp that she's not in her prime anymore and not on Namie level. Many Japanese people I spoke with were surprised to hear that she's still active despite the new songs playing from every single Jankara in Osaka and there are a LOT of Jankaras in Osaka. I spoke to a few people about the rugby world cup too and not a single person knew that Koda Kumi did a theme song for it.
