(stream Kalk Samen) Although you could put some of Bjork's lines like "I'm no ******* Buddhist" or "how Scandinavian of me" in the OP video and they wouldn't seem misplaced. Or this banger: Quote What's the lesser of two evils: If a suicide bomber Made to look pregnant Manages to kill her target Or not?

Namie will always be the Queen of JPop with a better discography. Her prime run and constant experimentation, phew. This take… Namie’s best album doesn’t even compare to Utada’s song about a ******* stuffed bear Experimentation? You mean doing the same exact music trends (yet worse) as American pop stars, 3 years too late?

Please spare me You must be the type of Utada stan who thinks she’s the Bjork of JPop while making the same bland AC album 10 times. And quality-wise? Sweetie, just listen to the OP. There’s a reason critics dubbed Namie the Janet/Madonna and Queen of J-Pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodus Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Y'all are not about to slander my username. Exodus was a fantastic album. Way ahead of it's time and very self-conscious. She IS the one and only Queen of Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 On and On, Dirty Desire and Poppin' are BOPS though. I love the This Is The One album. Also Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence FYI where she sings about sipping chardonnay from 2pm on a working day.
