What a hot video. I think it’s apparent that Namie (or her record label) are trying to cement her as the premier Japanese musical artist once again. Notice all the foreigners in the video? Someone is trying to push her internationally. Not at all a bad thing. She has, after all, thoroughly conquered her homeland, so what else is there? Don’t be surprised if you see her in a U.S. movie release. Pat Field, who I almost worked for once, did the wardrobe and providing a look the west will find recognizably chic, combined with Namie's cool Japanese aesthetic, good looks & talent, I am sure Hollywood is not too far down the road.
