My top 3: 1. Body Feels EXIT 2. a walk in the park 3. Can you celebrate? The first got me hooked in 1995 and stayed my nr1 ever since. I downloaded the music video from internet when it was still in baby shoes and communication was by slow speed modem.
Truly one of the most mediocre high-selling artists of all time. How this woman ever got mentioned in the same breath as musicians like Utada Hikaru, and even more so a masterfully versatile composer like Shiina Ringo, is mind-boggling to me.
I think both Utada and Shiina are great. I also think Namie has an incredible charm, has adapted effortlessly to different genres and decades, and was an overall marvelous entertainer. A very different kind of artist that is beloved for many reasons :)
