You lost me there. The reason I don't like a lot of Namie's new music is because it's wayy too americanized. I still don't think ayu's music is very americanized at all, and that's why I love it.

Namie's music is mostly urban. But it definitely doesn't sound like Americanized urban songs.

I don't really think that Ayu's music is too Americanized. Actually, it isn't at all. I simply think that she had lost her touch since "(miss)understood" and her music is getting more and more generic. They don't have that special something like it used to be.
