Cool? That's not cool, that's freaking scary. People who spend that much money on clothes, shoes and all that crap they don't really need, especially if they do that in such a short time, they've obviously lost the contact with the real world. Yes, she's a successful entertainer, so it's understandable and very clear what it is like that, but that doesn't mean it's anywhere near fine - or 'cool' for that matter.
You can say I know nothing about the society in Japan, but I dare to think she's probably a good example of how the Japanese percept the world around them and how they feel in it - they're obviously very simple minded materialists. Even she herself admited so many times she never actually had anything like dreams, expectations or plans for future - which is how vast manjority of the Japanese feel like - and where she is right know is basically by accident.
This really makes me feel awkward when thinking about all the nice stuff she writes in her lyrics, all the vocal skills she has and all the good looks - it's all by accident. She's the absolute "happened-to-have-it-all" phenomena of modern Japan.
That's the most fascinating thing.
The worst thing is - she seems to be nothing beyond that.
