I've only been a fan since Fall 2004 (I met a girl at college who loved her), and that was during the last era. The first songs I heard of hers were "the SPEED STAR" and "Alarm," and I loved them both from the first time I heard them!! Her new stuff is much more original than the cheesy pop songs she used to release.
I think if Namie could sing perfect English, her songs would be popular in America. I think the same with Koda Kumi.
