I'm assuming Waterfalls with Namie will just be on the japanese version?

Linoa62 11th June 2013 05:54 PM

Waterfalls 20th anniversary version on iTunes JP!

Haha yeah seriously. Namie and a unicorn would be priceless.

Namie and her team are making a lot of effort to reach her worldwide fan base, but they should do better by releasing her current digital releases and such on iTunes in every country. In iTunes Canada her picture is current (FEEL) but the latest release is "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!/Love Story" =/

^This. However I must say I'm impressed that Namie and her team are actually making all facebook posts in both Japanese AND English for the International fan base. :D

Now if only they could do the same with her official website.

Beauty4123 11th June 2013 06:12 PM

"Rainbow" and "Stardust In My Eyes" are nice titles! can't wait to hear the songs. :)

ILoveGeniuses 11th June 2013 06:26 PM

CDJ says Namie's also on the August 2013 issue of "steady". >> http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview....=NEOBK-1381663

Also just posting for anyone who's curious but this is that TLC 20th anniversary hits album... just half of it is the regular editions of like 6 songs and 2nd half are the same ones performed live http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=WPCR-15061

chasethechance 11th June 2013 06:45 PM

Does anyone has already the MP3 to download? T_T

harufi 11th June 2013 07:36 PM

That is the worst album art I've ever seen. Couldn't they do anything better, especially when Namie is featuring?!

ayu_ready? 11th June 2013 08:47 PM

I like the tracklist!

visionfactory 11th June 2013 09:35 PM

I agrre it is the worst cover ever >_> I feel like they think of Japan = Anime

The iTunes cover is just text but it's way better than having those cartoons around

I agree, that's the way I'd be doing it, too. I'm just afraid that the leak of the album will come too late for me to cancel it if I don't like it. So basically I really have no clue if I'll like the album. But then again I probably had one reason why I felt compelled about pre ordering this album - the fact that I love Namie's music. So, I'll be calm for now. xD

ILoveGeniuses 11th June 2013 09:48 PM

Must agree about TLC's cover. Gawd awful. Was so surprised when i saw it, and with the tracklist being the way it is I'd rather not. There is another simple best collection album of theirs on there though, which looks more interesting that I'm considering.

Btw, not sure if i did ever bring this up before, but how come Namie never puts making-of footage on her albums' DVDs/Blurays?

Definitely! It's a shame really, it'd be much better just with text.

Well CDJ has one of those Playlist Very Best Of CDs of them which is only 1238Yen thats 15 completely different songs on it, so I'm gonna grab it instead. :)

mi|kshake 11th June 2013 10:46 PM

Not a fan of the original Waterfalls, so not liking the 20th anniversary version either.

Stardust in my Eyes is a really cool title.

mi|kshake~

Benikari47 12th June 2013 12:16 AM

Loving the tracklist! And Waterfalls was a nice surprise, not my cup of tea as i never really liked the original, but she sounds great :) Get dat' engrish Namie!

adantatu2 12th June 2013 03:28 AM

I don't like Waterfalls :(

She is really shy so maybe she is like another person backstage and her makings are boring :shakehead

terra 12th June 2013 05:11 AM

I saw a gif set in tumblr of her saying sorry using those word cloud printed on small cardboards that she never had MC sessions :laugh she's the cutest.

And there are bits of her on the making of YEAH-OH in her 20th Anniversary Video, not much but if you want to see her making PV. She's awfully quiet tho lol

tokyoxjapanxfan 12th June 2013 05:35 AM

Was never really a fan of Waterfalls to begin with, so I'm not really a fan of the one with Namie either.

But it's really cool that such a collaboration happened :)

visionfactory 12th June 2013 07:02 AM

^^Those gifs!!! So sweet from her ^_^ being sorry for not doing MC

George 12th June 2013 07:23 AM

I don't really feel the song.

marty 12th June 2013 10:48 AM

OMG, those gifs, SO CUTE!! <3
She needs to stop smiling like that, I'm not used to it, I'll die, like in Contrail video, what with all this smiling powah Namie, YOU'LL KILL ME, TOO CUTE!!!

BlackSilence 12th June 2013 11:04 AM

From Sweet mag photoshoot...I absolutelly love it!


and from other recent mag shoots:


all of the ones here are PHOTOS not scans

pimenta 12th June 2013 02:28 PM

Namie's shyness is adorable, she's so cute! :heart

Lady~Deviance 12th June 2013 02:56 PM

"Hands On Me" will premiere in Japan in 10+ hours or so. So we should get to see the PV tonight if you live in North America. Elsewhere just add 10/11 hours to your current time. ;)

ILoveGeniuses 12th June 2013 03:48 PM

Dont know if anyone saw but Namies facebook reached 600,000 Likes. Shes giving out free facebook cover images (25 to choose from) specially shot for it. plus they said something about a new app coming soon as well. :D

Btw i can only half read those cloud cards she holds up. What exactly do those say?

kumis 12th June 2013 04:05 PM

Anyone know if she's going to release a remix album soon? There's a remix in the Non-stop Special Mix that Avex released back in November that I wanted to hear in full but I can't find it anywhere :(

jiarongisme 12th June 2013 04:05 PM

Those photos are not specially shot just for the Facebook cover images lol. They're pictures from the past KOSE ESPRIQUE ads.

The clouds says something like "Thank you for the encore. Sorry I don't do MCs. Time for a nostalgic song (or something along those lines)"

AyuHamasaki01 12th June 2013 04:51 PM

I'm not a fan of Waterfalls but Namie's rap is awesome, great English too!

:thud :thud :thud

Best song on FEEL so far. That song is so hot it melted my earphones damn

Me, Myself & Music 12th June 2013 08:45 PM

Hmm not really feelin Hands On Me.

Just sounds like noise to me.

BlackSilence 12th June 2013 08:46 PM

^same. not feeling the song at all..... it's like she's mumbling all the way through the song. The "instrumental" sounds interesting tho, but too monotonous and messy for my taste...NEXT! lol

Coelacanth 12th June 2013 08:47 PM

Can someone make a Waterfalls .mp3 with Namie's part removed?

A. MESS.

ILoveGeniuses 12th June 2013 08:53 PM

Like HOM, but dont :heart it.
Also listening on my phone. Im sure id have better soumd on my laptop but the internets down on it :(

Lady~Deviance 12th June 2013 08:54 PM

"Hands On Me" sounds a bit characterless and messy if I must be honest. It does not leave a lasting impression. :no I grew bored with it less than halfway in.

I actually like what I heard from "Alive" more. Four songs down, 8 more to go.

tsuki 12th June 2013 09:06 PM

Hands on me! OMFG! Looooove it!! I hope for some sick moves to this one..

CeReSu 12th June 2013 09:15 PM

I love Hands on Me so much! Perfect for this Summer!!!!

salina 12th June 2013 09:28 PM

hands me sounds very goood :yes

Benikari47 12th June 2013 09:46 PM

I'm shocked you guys don't like Hands On Me, that **** is a jam! The beat is sick and her vocals are sexy as hell, can't wait to see the PV!

harufi 12th June 2013 09:47 PM

I wish there was less English :dead2 but I really like hands on me otherwise, I adore when Namie does messy arrangements like this~

Dream 12th June 2013 09:48 PM

Hands On Me sounds ok... Still think Alive will be the best song on the album

jean-baptiste 12th June 2013 10:09 PM

That video posted of Namie is great. I love seeing her personality shine through in those kind of shows.

And hands on me didn't do much for me. I stopped it after a minute. Same with contrail preview. Alive was cool. I can't say for sure though cause even Uncontrolled sounded wack the first listen but it instantly grew on me the second listen. So I'll see.

Benikari47 12th June 2013 10:13 PM

OMG


Gustavopc 12th June 2013 10:20 PM

The outfit is a mess, but I like the coreography. Thumbs up for the scenarios as well, they give me a feeling of early 2000s pop.

Dream 12th June 2013 10:33 PM

omg that choreography is flawless :O

now I'm excited for the full PV!

TeamAyu2004 12th June 2013 10:55 PM

hands on me is amazing!
So in love right now!

emi♡ 12th June 2013 10:58 PM

hands on me is love. I don't care for the lyrics and english though.

But I don't mind, ****, I'd listen to only the instrumental of that song.

ILoveGeniuses 12th June 2013 10:59 PM

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the PV preview!! I Adore her outfit too!!
Cant wait to see the full thing. :heart :heart :D :D

ak.malfoy 12th June 2013 11:09 PM

That video just made me drool!! Can't wait to see the full PV :D

Yumsushi 12th June 2013 11:25 PM

I have conflicted feelings about 'Hands on me'...the beat is really good and her engrish is horrifically hilarious but the song sounds strangely familiar. Anyone one else think it sounds like something else?

pheonixflame15 12th June 2013 11:31 PM

Is HoM in all English?? I couldn't make out much of what she singing!

TeamAyu2004 12th June 2013 11:33 PM

Waterwall was... nothing really. It barely changed and all they did was add namie to a part of it.
Blah.

The song contains samples heard in various other songs so it's hard to tell, at least to me anyway. :shrug


The choreography is interesting, and I really do like what I see in the PV so far but....I still think the song sounds basic as hell. :P

I'm not feeling these full on English tracks from her. I hope her next album does away with it. :(

Reminds me something recent from Girls Aloud and Cheryl Cole, not in a bad way...

ILoveGeniuses 12th June 2013 11:49 PM

I LOVE when Asian singers try English even if the pronunciation sucks. I've been listening to Japanese music since '97 & known a lot of ppl with bad English as well so i guess I've just gotten fully used to it and can now understand it very well. :heart

George 13th June 2013 12:45 AM

I don't love Hands On Me but it's a grower.

Anyways, I :heart :blove The PV!! And the song's got me totally hooked now!! :D :D :D :D
Plus Woohoo!! My internet on my laptop's finally working again, which is really helping. :D

Oh and bit off-topic, but i really want this Namie Amuro mug. Anybody know where I can get it?

You can buy it through her official facebok page.. go to "Store" and you can purchase all her tour goods there :)


Hands on Me is fireeee. I love everything about the song and PV

Delicious n Bold 13th June 2013 02:12 AM

Ummm...
Even though I said the song is ok, has anyone ripped it yet?

ILoveGeniuses 13th June 2013 02:15 AM

@aloopy Says its Out of Stock :( Oh well, guess i gotta wait for it to be stocked again. :(

freedreamer 13th June 2013 02:30 AM

I quite like the short version hahah! I'll watch the full version later before commenting further

ak.malfoy 13th June 2013 03:43 AM

This has got to be one of her most infectious songs yet (nothing beats Hide & Seek for that)! I love the electro-inspired interludes and the intense drumming during the non-chorus lines. It's eargasmic! :D

ILoveGeniuses 13th June 2013 03:51 AM

Well couldnt get that mug but i got a few other things instead from her FB Store. Looking forward to getting them. :D

oh, and i made one of those custom FB Covers with that link thing she set up on her facebook page for my own timeline. What u think? ;) :heart

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps3d3a8b6e.png

Also, I've watched that PV 8 times now :D :D :D :D It's infectious!! :blove :blove :blove :blove

Lady~Deviance 13th June 2013 03:59 AM

The PV gave me so much life. :luv2 I think the song is slightly growing on me now. We'll see how it holds up to the rest of the songs. ;)

I hope Kuu's new single gives me the same "summer nightclub dancing" feel like "Hands On Me".

toLOVE 13th June 2013 04:06 AM

This is my p*ssy popper for the summer. :P

The song's hot, sick beat, flawless choreography, and Amuro's like a Queen in the last few second of the PV. <3

I need FEEL to release ASAP!! *I'm going to play Hands On Me to death* <3

adantatu2 13th June 2013 04:17 AM

Her dancing is so damn good, she looks gorgeous in high heels !!!
The song is not my favourite, but is good

jiarongisme 13th June 2013 04:18 AM

Song is still growing on me but that choreography is cool.

R_Hikki 13th June 2013 05:09 AM

I honestly like the "Hands On Me" video more than any of her previous videos. She has never looked better. And the slow-motion step at 2:57 is one second of pure sex.

jiarongisme 13th June 2013 05:42 AM

Heaven: https://soundcloud.com/der-heart/01-heaven

I absolutely CANNOT wait for the album.

R_Hikki 13th June 2013 05:48 AM

Holy overload... "Heaven" sounds like it could be released as a single in North America and not do that bad. The English is great and the sound is perfect.

Ayufan11 13th June 2013 05:48 AM

this song would've been amazing in Japanese. I hate that her engrish is so hard to understand. It makes it much harder to focus on the music

Ayufan11 13th June 2013 05:54 AM

I do love contrail though <3 also, I heard you guys were talking about her tattoos... It really does look like she's removing them. I wonder why?

TeamAyu2004 13th June 2013 05:57 AM

Wish I wasn't at school so I could get uptodate! But it must wait till I get home!!

ragingrush 13th June 2013 06:01 AM

DAT PV IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

She is amazing. Loved the choreography. The beat got me hooked lol
Yellow dress with heels and fast choreo BEAST *throws shoes at screen*

ak.malfoy 13th June 2013 06:03 AM

Don't mess with the woman who can do the moves on high heels! :P

tokyoxjapanxfan 13th June 2013 06:07 AM

I don't really know what she's saying in Hands on me, but then again, her Japanese gets mumbly too in a lot of her songs. So...

I prefer Heaven to Hands on me, but her dancing is amazing.

tokyoxjapanxfan 13th June 2013 06:10 AM

Does anyone think the piano version of Contrail could be a hidden track at the end of the album, like at the end of No?

R_Hikki 13th June 2013 06:13 AM

^ I hope so :)

toLOVE 13th June 2013 06:24 AM

I feel like if Namie's English was a little better, then these songs might be pretty big hits in the US.

jean-baptiste 13th June 2013 06:24 AM

I'm liking heaven! My favorite so far. (after bbc)

Zeke. 13th June 2013 06:47 AM

Wasn't expecting a lot but was secretly hoping this album would surprise me.

Heaven is boring and Hands On Me is annoying. It sounds like they sampled the standard alarm clock noise for the break before the chorus (and during the dance parts)... Why would anyone subject themselves to voluntarily listening to an alarm clock buzzer? Lmao. I guess it would be the perfect alarm clock song though. The faster you put your hands on it the quicker it shuts off, lol.

KLJames 13th June 2013 07:05 AM

not much impressed by both new song, its so typical like those eng n kor fast song in nowadays market. but i do enjoy HOM pv, love the part she dance with TLC!

Dream 13th June 2013 07:26 AM

I love Heaven, it sounds great. This album is gonna be so freaking awesome!

koumori 13th June 2013 09:00 AM

I love Hands On Me and Heaven sounds good too. I like the sound she's going for this album, very summery! :) Definitely tracks you can dance to.
