 That was a nice video. I love the choreo, it's somewhat different, more fun and less robotic than before. But, man, I don't think they'll ever top the "Fushizen na Girl" or "VOICE" PV's. Those remain amazing...

 Spice was the 1st song I heard from them. I didn't like it at all back then, but I love it now. It's a grower, I guess.

 Spice grew on me too, but Glitter was always perfect for me.

 So after much consideration, I've decided that I stan for Namie. 
 She's no Utadasus, but she'll do until the Queen comes back from her hiatus.

 Namie & 2NE1 flopping on the singles chart. 
 
 @ BIGBAG's numbers & Collection debuting at #5, not too shabby,  it almost outsold MDNA. 
 
P.S: I kind of like "SHE! HER! HER!" , I might go ahead and download their new album.
