It's always so easy to criticise the people who work on melodies and/or lyrics of songs

Besides radio rips do not necessary do justice to the eventual CD studio versions of songs

Maybe the videos for Dear Diary & Fighter might double up or double down opinions further I don't know

You only like Red Carpet?? I think is her most random song in YEARS, I probably said that I loved, lying to myself, when it came out but I remember that at the third listening I was tired already.

I listen Black Make Up everyday though

It's the only song I find to be tolerable. Every other single released and it's b-side have been mediocre if not, terrible (imo). I suppose it's also because my music taste is very "Westernized" anyways so I was hoping she would keep with the FEEL/_genic trend.

Its an okay song...but the type of song I usually enjoy less of her: harder hitting in terms of beats and on the verge to rock (like Damge)

Dear Diary is cute. Fighter sounds like a generic upbeat song but it's catchy. I can see myself dancing to it in the shower lol

Fighter is bad, Dear Diary pretty uninteresting.
Going to jam to Mint again.

Thanks for posting, Karen!

I really like Fighter actually The part before the 2nd chorus is a bit much, but still. I love how she sings 'Fi-i-i-ighter'. And Dear Diary is lovely. I love her voice in songs like this. Especially the subtle emotion in her voice during the "You know all my secrets..." part.

edit: Dear Diary translation.

Here you go:

Spoiler:
眠れない夜には
溢れる tears 抑えて見上げてるstars
So why are we 傷つきあうばかりで
what can I do? what can I do? どうか教えて

You keep all my secrets
You know all my fears
You hear all my laughter
どんな時も

*
Dear diary この世界に光を
ただ愛することだけで
Let's make the world a better place
Dear diary この手に力を
悲しみを強さに変えるように
Oh please

Dear diary 忘れられぬほどに
繰り返し胸締めつけるあのシーン
Why can't we 分かり合えるのなら
How can I do? How can I do? どうか教えて

You keep all my secrets
You know all my fears
You hear all my laughter
どんな時も

Dear diary この願いを叶えて
ただ信じることだけで
Let's make the world a better place
Dear diary この手に力を
痛みを愛しさに変えるように
Oh please

折れてしまいそうな my heart
二度と切れそうもない start
Should I? Should I? Should I start believing?
だけど今この思い (??? chance?)
切り離して try again
Yes, I still believe

*repeat

Thank you Karen. Fgther is FiREEE I love it! I'm very surprised. I wonder who produced the song. This is her best song since Stanger. I like Dear Deary too, I was thinking in wait till the album release to buy it but now I want to buy the single.

There's something about "Fighter" that reminds me of "Supernatural Love" but the verses seem more scattered. I think the chorus will sound boss in hq.

"Dear Diary" on the other hand is instant love. One of my favourite Namie ballads ever.

I dunno why they described Fighter as an aggressive dance track. lol It's such a snooze fest! Also it's not even remotely close to what Damage was, i dunno what some of you are even hearing the same in this. Damage was awesome for my ears. This is your typical westernized boring EDM. Dear diary on the other hand sounds really lovely!
