Love the dress!!

This woman has the most perfect hair ever :heart
She looks so much better without bangs imo

I hope it'll be fully gone until next year, she's been removing those for ages...

Why is she removing her tattoo?

Yeah, I'm quite curious as well why Namie's removing her tattoo...did we already talk about that before?

Maybe she don't need them anymore

Wow the amount of vitriol here (mostly from one person if I had to be honest) is terrifying, I'm not sure if it's even marginally better than Jpopcentral.

Am also really surprised that people dislike the previews and that the word 'filler' has been used to describe the music there. It's just staggeringly confusing and really makes me wonder what these people (who disliked the songs) think is "good" music. But I will just attribute it to a difference in taste and leave it at that.

I have the theory that she left the tattoos like that, because its been like 2 years and they look the same.

Im glad y'all love my signature, its so accurate it hurts, specially the Utada fans :(

^ wow I only just noticed your sig it is SPOT ON.

Not quite, they are getting more and more faded each year. I suppose they needed a lot of sessions to be completely removed...

Listened to the preview a few days ago, and I was happy with it.

I honestly don't expect much from Namie in terms of where I want her to go or what I want her to do.

I'm fine with her generic sound, and I'm happy to see what generic sound she pulls off next. She does it nicely, and I'm never really bored. And sometimes, she pulls it off amazingly and it just slays. So. I consider that a win. I think the album will be a win, but I don't think I'll like it as much as the last one.

idk what's going to win my heart after Stardust in my Eyes and Contrail.

damn I need to go find my album lol

I can't with the Utada section of the Namie thread! *dead*

:laugh

i actually like bangs on her, it looks cute. On the other hand this hair doesn't ask for much styling lol


----

The "emotionless singing/dancing/posing" seems to always be an issue here. Why the hell i don't have a problem with it? She seems normal to me lol

Maybe she knows she is getting old, and well, we know tattoos look bad on wrinkled skin.





I'm joking, lol.

hahahaha and that tattoo ayu has on her back will look exactly the same, a year later. :roflmao

Some people just didn't swoon over the previews.
And some stated their various reasons. Some even talked about the compositions themselves.

I know some people say that we should have different expectations in certain areas for different artists and I mean...you can. Anyone can. But that doesn't mean that everyone will. And even if you have the same expectations, an artist just may not meet it for some people. I never see that as surprising or warranting a reaction like in your post lol. I don't even think this thread is so bad. As you said, everyone has different tastes.


In the meantime, she is so beautiful. Her youthfulness will never fail to amaze me. And her legs. :luv2

I want to know where she found the fountain of youth because daaaaaaayum.

Actually in those fashion show photos she looks too ypung for my taste. xD
She has that puppet look going on and this is definitely not my beauty ideal.
She looks pretty perfect in the last shampoo CM though!
Give her hair some volume!

Tbh I always wondered what she would look like with dark hair.

Considering one of the tattoos is for her mum and the other is for her son, I do wonder if she's made replacement tatts somewhere else on her body? Not that she has to or anything, I was just curious if she had or not.

But doesnt has some events that she hiding her tatoo with make up?
