So do you guys think she will be able to sell 600-650k? x__X

P.S. thanks for Defend Love lyric! I like it!

Yeah I think it's highly possible, she's selling so well so far.

[AyUta]

Yes then, I think she can.

[aloopy]

Thank you tenshi for the lyrics! I love Defend Love so much! I think it is my favorite song on the album.. tied with FAST CAR

-
I'm sure I'll love Shut Up once she performs it live! That always happens with Namie songs I don't like at first lol (Do Me More, Rock Steady, Funky Town, Hello etc etc)

[jiarongisme]

I think it's possible as well since she got even more attention after BEST FICTION. So I guess more people know about her releases.

[non3ko]

I love Defend Love that much more now! Thanks so much for the translation. The song always had this sort of dark feeling to it before...

I'm happy that her sales are doing this well, though I wish there had been a bit more promotion. At least a few lives or some more single releases. Still, the album did good despite this.

I also wish her the best in her personal life with Atsushi. She's been through a lot and she deserves that happiness along with the success in her career she's worked so hard for. Go Namie!

[tenshi no hane]

Two more translations~ More shallow lyrics though xD

FAST CAR (translation)

Spoiler:

Whether I beg for it or take it by force
I won’t be able to settle down if I can’t get you
Boy, you’re so so fly and unstoppable
A truly flaming desire

*Speed it up, boy
You won’t let anyone ride you, you’re my fast car
You’re uncontrollable and hot (speed it up, speed it up, speed it up now)
Give me the key
You’re irresistible; let me drive you down the love street
I can’t even breathe (gimme that, gimme that gimme that now)

Around the clock, yeah all night long
I whisper, oh boy I need you
A dream vintage, truly exclusive
If I won’t set you free, there’ll be no next level

*repeat

It’s too hot; overheat
Your heart beats so fast that it might burst
Slow it down, slow it down, just slow it down (baby baby)
Leave it to me, let me control you
Calm down, one more time
Gimme that, gimme, gimme that
I know what you want, yeah

*repeat (2x)

Bad Habit (translation)

Spoiler:

I’m trouble, but your eyes seem
To say that you like me
I’m not yours
I’m not his
I’m nobody’s
Rather than words, I let my sexy hips do the talking
Everyone throws themselves at my hot lips
I know you can’t resist
You definitely can’t get away

“Don’t drop in on the way”, your mama used to say
But reason can’t beat desire

*’Cause I’m your bad habit, repeating
Again, again and again
A bad habit that can’t be stopped
No matter what you do

**(Do we do) I’ll do crazy things for you
(Do we do) Until you’re dazzled by me
(Do we do) Sing a bit, lalala
I can hear your heart sing

You won’t forget me even after just one meeting
I’m still irresistible even after a hundred meetings
Who’s that girl?
I’m that girl
You’ll start to want me again soon
Tears and flattery make me tired
I hate total liars
Be honest with your feelings
Let me hear your heartbeat

“Don’t get lost”, your mama used to say
In spite of your timidity you won’t go away

*repeat
**repeat

You know you should, but you can't stay away
Ah ah, can't stay away
You know you should, but you can't stay away
Ah ah, can't stay away
You know you should, but you can't stay away,
What your mom gonna say?

*repeat (2x)

(I also have the romaji's on my LJ if anyone wants them)

Mine closes perfectly too. I think the packaging is pretty awesome. I just don't like the "<" spam when you open the digipak. It's so hypnotising. @_@
