Completely agree. I love her dance-eurobeat works. She was at the peak of her success, almost as popular as Ayu is today. It's my favourite by far. The R&B-popish era was plain boring but you had some awesome singles such as PLEASE SMILE AGAIN, NEVER END and RESPECT THE POWER OF LOVE. I like her new R&B-Hip Popish style... it suits her well. But to me it dosen't compare to her days when she was produced by TK. When Avex was just a wannabe record label with only techno/dance/eurobeat artists (Namie, globe, ELT, hitomi).
