And as I've said, that 'hollow' sound was due to the performance on that show and a not so good arrangement. When I heard the full version it didn't sound hollow at all. I think people that hate the song right now will at least like it a little better once they have heard the full version - not love it though because they are already predisposed to hating it.

But overall I think a lot of people are being overly hard on this song. All it's supposed to be is a fun pop song and at that it excels. She has PLENTY of "substancy" songs. This song is refreshing and I don't see the problem with her saying, what 4 words in English? And so what if she counts to 4? Almost all the numbers in Japan nowadays are written as 1, 2, 3 etc - it's not considered a big thing or abnormal in Japan.
