"Birthday" is Amuro's first recorded song that lyrically deals with celebrations, anniversaries and birthdays. Musically, "Birthday" is a dance-pop song that talks about celebrations and anniversaries. Michael McCarthy from ''Otakudx.com'' commented on the lyrical themes; “'I'll celebrate my wedding night,' she sings, the song being about anniversaries as much as it is about birthdays. Which just makes it suitable for even more celebrations.” A reviewer for ''Kpopbreaks'' compared the introduction to the song "Into the Groove" by American recording artist Madonna, but later compared the song to "Birthday by American recording artist Katy Perry; “Unfortunately, the song goes from 80’s Madonna to ''Prism''-era Katy Perry rather quickly.”〔 McCarthy also compared, but favored the musical composition over Perry's song and "Birthday" by American recording artist Selena Gomez; he commented “There's also a song called "Birthday," but it has nothing to do with the lovable "Birthday" by Katy Perry or the even better "Birthday" by Selena Gomez. Nope. It's another Namie original.” He compared the music to bubblegum pop.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Birthday (Namie Amuro song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
