Would that had happened though if she hadn't linked up with Tetsuya Komuro? He really ruled the 90s in Japan and she was but once of his many acts who had notable success.

Look at all the artists that were famous because of TK in the 90's. All of them are no longer relevant or known in the industry anymore right now except for one. TK can push any artists into fame and success back then but whether are they good enough to last the next 20 years, well history proves itself

TK produced for Ami Suzuki and she was insanely popular in the 90s but look what happened to her.

TK helps a lot of artists propel into stardom but it's up to the artist to remain relevant. Just because Namie doesn't write her music doesn't mean she worked really hard to get to where she is today. And even then, Namie has some say in what she wants to do with her career. She wouldn't sing a song named Put 'Em Up at first because she felt the Japanese lyrics didn't match the melody till the songwriter changed it; or something like that.

Idk why people discredit Namie so much. It almost sounds like people are bitter she's doing better than their faves but idk.

Flawless Forehead is doing something right if she's been around forever and outselling most singers. Then again, every singer goes through cycles where they sell really well.

As for her personality being compared to sushi, I feel she's just an intensely private person, especially growing up in the light during the 90's. Would it kill her to crack a joke every now and again ? It actually might, and then I'll be sad.
