Can you tell me/show me how to do it with paint? I have Photoshop, but I never learned how to do the border thing. The cover thing kind of sucks but it's not a "national disgrace". I know it's just because Namie, who is a singer in JAPAN, using a concept from a KOREAN magazine, angers the overly-nationalistic Japanese people who carry strong anti-Korean sentiments.

Oh hey, I wanted to ask you... how do you make the border like you have on your Namie picture?

A lot of people think that Koda is the best, especially the fags on here, and I'm like wtf?! Her music isn't even as good as Namie's or Ayu's. Sure, when she has a good one it's GOOD, but compared to the former two there's no comparison. That's why I can't stand most j-pop fans; they're delusional of what is really going on. They're so hypocritical and desperate when they say bad shit about Namie too.

I'm really looking forward to it and I know I am just going to go crrrrazy when I see those videos + listen to the songs. :( SO CRAZY, lol. Anyway there should be more fans like you and me. Unless Namie turns into the biggest bitch on the planet (which she WON'T), I'll never stop supporting her. She's just the most... complete artist for me. And she has this effect on me that no other artist has. She's wonderful. If she was as happy as could be in life, but made sub-par music let's say (though I don't see how it would be possible), I would choose that over her having a shitty life and making great music. That's how much I care!

Yeah. Basically those people who only pay attention to shit because it's popular. That's not being in it for the music or because you truly like her. This "Queen of J-pop" shit is so tripe. Fans only egg it on so they can feel better about liking their chosen "queen", and the media just does it to be "interesting" and "controversial". The same ol' bullshit. Namie had her time but she only "lost" the throne to other people because of her marriage and divorce. She's ballsy you know. And I respect her for that. She did what she wanted- and now she's back where she was by way of her own merits. For instance she does not do "gimmicky" marketing that Koda and Ayu do. Although the only person you can really compare her with is Ayu, and Utada... it's a bit different. Ayu and Namie are similar in that they have had influence over the Japanese public for so many years. Koda's on a lower level than that. So many Western fans don't understand that though. Koda isn't half the artist Namie is.

I could make it for you in less than 5 minutes... but like I said, I don't wanna watch it yet. Haha. But when I do in December, feel free to bug me. Hey, you could look at it like celebrating the official release of PAST < FUTURE. You won't get tired of the ava as quick. I can make you a new one for you right now in fact, any ideas on what you would like? I have a shit-ton of Namie videos, so shoot!

Oh and when I was talking about her popularity peak and dip, I was meaning to say that they don't get that she has been through both extremes before and that being "# 1" isn't important to her anymore. She said it herself. That getting #1 is nice but it's not THAT important to her.

Or people who just listen to BEST FICTION and onward while dismissing her older stuff. Not to mention her oooolder stuff. They don't really appreciate NAMIE. I wouldn't really care if it's not their cup of tea, but to say that it's shit just because you don't like it is dumb. A big thing that these losers seem to not understand about Namie is that she went from the top to people saying that she was a has-been, saying she didn't care about her son, etc... in very dark periods of her life. I don't think the average person would show such strength in her position. That's why I am SO happy she is getting the recognition she deserves now, but it's not always for the right reasons. Why do some people only seem to care about her NOW and not when she was releasing stuff before, y'know? I will NEVER stop being her fan because I know that she's a good person... and I know that she has talent that not a lot of people have.
