YES. I can't tell you how much I agree. A dead, prostituted, FEMALE goldfish.

[adantatu2]

Looking dead is a japanese trend and Namie is the queen.

Yeah, maybe I should try it live!

Concentration 20 is the other way round for me. At first I only liked the odd song or two, then a few years ago the whole album clicked (even Storm is kinda fun lol!). I love the dated feel of the album, it makes it feel like such a "classic" album.

Cross Over is THE jam of that album! I love it so much!

And that's right, C20 has this classic/90's sound, it's cool for a throwback I guess!

For me, the whole part from PLEASE SMILE AGAIN to GIRLFRIEND (those songs included) is mind-blowing awesome.

if he didn't have the looks none woud have let him sing in the first place, cuz he's just...plain bad, but we all know how many of Johnnie's can actually sing, so..xD

also grotesque... listened once, borring as hell, the PV didn't help either lol

[blackmage]

I quickly looked over a lot of the posts, I'm surprised on all the Ken hate. I actually think they're great together for a collaboration and why didn't this happen sooner. His voice sounds fine to me and its really fitting with Namie's. The only thing I didn't like about him in this collaboration is that the way he trimmed his facial hair made his face look bigger than he is, or he just hasn't aged well.. Namie looks flawless as ever. The song is a definitely a grower, upon first listen it wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best, but enjoyable.

[CoriKaru]

But the Johnnie's are ugly.

And I love how he sounds on Unusual. I STILL listen to that song. Listened to it today madda-fact.

I just wish I could find that video. That dance break. That's love, guys. Love.

[Yumsushi]

Uh I didn't want to say it when I say the single cover but now that I watched the video I have to....Ken Hirai's gigantic head is soooo distracting when he's in the same shot as Namie because of the different in sizes. I just can't get over it.

Also don't like the song at all.

I think it's supposed to be Heaven?
correct me if I'm wrong'

on other notes, I love GROTESQUE as the song, and the PV itself is pretty cool as well!
I don't get why so many people seem to dislike Ken though : o

lol, he/she mean HEAVEN, which in the song Namie sang like 'HAIRBOOM' / 'HAIRBROOM", but i more care when Namie sang like "...you gave me ransom..."

[~StarCatcher~]

Ah I get it now her Engrish

[orangeakira]

I hated the previews for grotesque, and I'm not a fan of Ken Hirai, but I really like this song. They did a great job. The video is nice, but i wish it went places and they weren't just standing in the same room singing at each other. It has potential though. I might actually buy this single.

Namie on the cover of VOGUE Taiwan looking like the queen of pretty much everything.

LOL I always thought she sang you gave me ransom as well, even if it didn't fit...

What's wierd is stuff like, she sings shiver in Ballerina well, but when she performed it on tour she prounounced it as Siver. Why namie, why?
