Talking on going back to her roots,
her cover of SPEED's "I Remember" is out! It sounds so good, such a smooth rnb tune, some 90s/early 2000s vibes to it, and her voice is also great.
Even if she doesnt feel like making a whole cover album, I really think she should make a covers best with those tribute songs plus covers throughout her career... Saigo no ame, Cutie Honey, BE MY BABY, Megumi no hito, and all those classic ones we have plus ENGAGED, So Close, IT'S SO DELICIOUS, Wanderin' Destiny, and now I Remember! All amazing tracks, would love to have them all on an album! She could even extend it and have an English covers disc as well, with Venus, Got To Be real, We Will Rock You, Livin La Vida Loca, maybe I Feel Love or Hot Stuff (from Donna Summer, which she also covered live). These days I also discovered she used to cover xtina's "Reflection" in the first years of her career, would die for a chance to hear it.
