[Namie Amuro] The 96th Thread ♛ Queen's Farewell 〜Compilation, Tour & Retirement〜

[ShiniTakashi]

I think you guys are misinterpreting “Finally”. She’s not saying she’s glad to be over, peace out. The lyrics are about someone who has achieved everything they’ve dreamt of and are now able to finally say they’ve done what they set out to do. She no longer has to dream and can finally relax and enjoy her life as a “normal” person.

This whole “Namie always looks miserable” comment has always irked me too. Acting like she doesn’t care about what she does or her fans compared to others.

Hm, yeah, but isn't that exactly the point?
I mean, nobody of us really knows, what her dream is or was. But with Finally and the lyrics it feels like singing is a job for her, not a passion and /or her life. Looking at the lyrics, her private life is more important. And I'm stating that without judging, cause that's ok.
Maybe it's just the fame she doesn't like about it - we will never know, unless she talks about it.
Just take the second line of the song "The day I've kept praying for has made its start at last" - that is a really strong thing to say.
And you can inerpret it both ways, positive and with a negative connotation for people hearing it.
