Might SR come to the West, after all?
She's gone overboard with the travel motifs (including Companion to Freedom)
Also I hear that she's just been traveling the world (including a trip to London). I'm sure the idea's been proposed to her many times (especially with her sistas Utada Hikaru and Ayumi Hamasaki having done *something* in the West), and rumours suggest she is set against it. But all her lyrics seem to point to a transformation of sorts in her personal life -- she keeps referring to 'her new self' in one way or another, explicitly in that Dai Hakken interview.
Soil n Pimp did it. As did Cornelius and Salyu in London's Jazz Cafe. Hopefully she's next. Or a collaboration with some western musician. Not expecting her to break through or anything, obviously.
fake edit: most of her lyrics have this sense of motion, but from Sports on, the journey seems to be continuing on a different level
