It's probably the new song she performed on tour I'm guessing.

Suilen

There are going to be two songs: Dear Diary (a ballad) and Fighter (a dance track). The live action comes out at the end of October.

Thanks Clover for your idol rates!

There is one song y'all really don't like and there's definitely a dark horse emerging. The current winning song also has a perfect 10 average.

5 days left.

so sad

i'm happy she was able to make her way back to the top after being demoted.

I went to BOOK OFF and finally decided to buy _generic to see what the hell Japanese loves so much about Namie and I just. don't. get it. There is literally nothing on this album that is any stronger than Ayu or Kuu's last albums. In fact, this one is especially cringeworthy as Namie's thinks she can actually sing in English. I'm pressed.

That being said, her song with Hatsune Miku is a ****ing BOP. What was the consensus on this song? Hatsune Miku's vocal tech. sound so much more advanced than that one song I've heard of her's (World is mine? Something like that).

You started with the wrong album tbh, try Past<Future.

B Who I Want 2 B is modern art and the song you're thinking of is Tell Your World iirc.

Past<Future is the only Namie album I haven't heard yet. And nope, the song is in fact World Is Mine. This is her signature song I believe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF6OdELPaak

This tea. I also don't get why Namie manages to sell consistently while Ku and Ayu had major declines. And yasss B Who I Want 2 Be is the best song on _genic

such a bop
