As for the recent discussion, hmm, I didn't know that you couldn't feel a connection to dance tracks. It's not as if those are the only types of songs that Namie does, either. Just because Namie is too shy to say what lyrics she wrote/show her lyrics as opposed to Ayu who lays it all out there with hardcore rock tracks/heartwrenching ballads doesn't mean that Namie's songs aren't representative of her. She wouldn't sing them if they weren't. And, if I'm not mistaken, she took a very active role in producing PLAY. Lyrical writing isn't everything, look at Avril Lavigne. And all of this comparing is making my head hurt omg

There is a big difference between someone who writes their songs and someone who doesn't. There is no way you can express your own emotions by singing words that you never even wrote. That's why I have a great deal of respect for artists like Hikki and Ayu because they actually have that talent. Namie, on the other hand, probably just isn't very good at songwriting, which is okay cuz she makes up for it in other ways (nice magazine shoots).
