I wish Ayu was in the same genre as namie for 1 album.
Trashy, derivative EDM. Just once.
Something fun.

She looks so gorgeous! (Well... when doesn't she?!)

I really don't care for those fan wars, Ayu and Namie have REALLY different music styles, so I don't even bother to compare who is "better" in general... For me, I personally like Ayu more, but that's me and my taste of music, and I also totally understand who prefers Namie's music, because her music is also great, it's just not the kind of music I tend to prefer, but I know that many many people like that music style more and I can understand and respect that. They're just very different, so of course some people will like one better than the other, but that doesn't mean that one is actually "better" than the other, it's just taste...

I just don't understand people whom hate so steadily. I mean, sometimes it happens to me to hate a singer (or... someone, or something, anyway), because I'm a human being and so my emotional sphere isn't limited to just love or ignoring. Sometimes I hate passionately, but I'd NEVER, EVER have the time to hate on it constantly, like someone can. I have so many things I love, I really don't have the time to go and always compare, and bash, and remind someone how much I hate something or someone. So, if I'm asked and reminded, I'd talk gladly and profusely about why and how much I hate it, but all those people that can't let a chance to bash on someone slide, not even once? Boring.

On another note: ok, I know the Alice in Wonderland theme is SO overused everyone has already done at least twice, but I can proudly say that I don't care! It's a always welcomed cliche, and the pictures for this new tour look absolutely awesome!

Totally awesome photoshoot for tour goods! love this one xD

Is that thing on top of her head meant to be a heart made of hair?

*throws money* ok I need that pamphlet!

kawaii

excited for the concert!!

:heart :luv2 Shut up and take my money~

She already had this type of stage for Live Tour 2011 right ? (with LED stairs)

EDIT: I just checked it out, it's the same style, but not the same shape. Live Tour 2011's steps were kinda triangular.

Does anyone have this picture in HQ?

I'd love for Ayu to do EDM but if it's just gonna be generic (trashy, derivative) then what's the point? I'd like to see her do EDM but with Ayu's meaningful lyrics. I want Ayu to add her flavor to the mix, but this is OT. :dead2

Does anyone know how much the tickets are for Namie's tour? I bet they're ridiculous.

I just want this tour so much.

Trashy and derivative in the vein of Namie's FEEL.
I love FEEL because it's so trashy that it's good. Except Alive. That song is pure gold.

I think I have a different definition of trashy than you guys lol

^ haha me too...trashy would be more like HYNA's TARATIKA for me or something :laugh

^If that's your idea of trashy then we're thinking in the same vein, and I couldn't see Ayu doing something like that...:tired

Am I the only one that organizes my trash?
Old 90s JTrash
Electro JTrash
Generic Trash

I think I said this before, but i need to change my opinion. The songs on the album (barring tracks 10-11) are all trashy. Except alive, which is trashy sophistication. The rest are generic trash. Not that its bad, mind you. Otherwise I wouldn't have dumped $50 on the cd. I personally see the epitome of electro coming from songs like edge by yasuta.. I mean perfume. Also people who make electo for a living, like deadmau5.
And while I'm at it, I'm gonna say that my fav trashy song of all time is hitomi's candy girl. NOTHING is trashier. Not even some careers.

Let me rephrase what I originally said in a way that shouldn't confuse anyone, not even a sleeping dragon: I wish ayu would release songs like alive.

I completely agree with you. I too don't participate in fan wars (I feel like I'm too old for that anyways although I've never participated in them) and don't really understand when people compare artists whose musical styles are completely different from each other (like, if a person compared Tommy February6 to Koda Kumi, that would be absolutely absurd and random, lol.). I can understand contrasting and preferring an artist over another due to personal preferences in musical style and how well you think the artist executes the style, but stating that one is better than another when they are nothing alike is a matter of taste, not quality.

Anyways, I wonder when "Neonlight Lipstick" will be released. I'm hoping it will be released while she's on tour and that she will perform it, at least on one of the later tour dates. I love "FEEL" and am thoroughly enjoying it, but I need "Neonlight Lipstick" now, lol.

^ Comparing Tommy February6 and Kumi would truly be a very weird comparison :laugh

For me, that's exactly why I think FEEL is a weak album :(


The tour stage reminds me of PAST < FUTURE tour, which I absolutely adore :yes Namie doesn't really need wide stages...

from https://www.facebook.com/NamieAmuroOfficial

^ She's so adorable :laugh

Ok, maybe the only time I'll like that song :laugh

OMG!You're so cute namie!!!

She looks so cute it makes me wanna hug her like a teddy bear and never let go omg :love

she looks so happy :)

^ Let Me Let You Go seems completly missplaced imo
But the tracklist is great! :blove

I'm really happy with the choices for the non-FEEL songs :yes

It's basically only new namie..she is very clear with her visons which is nice. No old songs. I miss them but I have my favs on 3-4 blu-rays already so no need for them. Very nice setlist altough it seems to have a abd flow (or many stand out only songs). wait and see

If it's a stand-alone songs like Love Story was than it's ok, but if it really is between La La La and Wonder Woman it feels very misplaced...

I love Higher too! She should have put it in Uncontrolled :(

SO HAPPY HIGHER IS IN THE SET LIST!!! I think this is an amazing set list for her.

It really is a small stage like PAST < FUTURE Tour was... I think that kind of stage is better for her :yes

No old songs again in the setlist :( It's basically FEEL+Uncontrolled+Checkmate. I love the new Namie but I would like her to include some oldies such as Body feels EXIT or Can you celebrate?

Apart from the choice of Higher, I'm not that enthusiastic about the setlist. There's really little variety! I'm happy she used everything from FEEL, but was it necessary to turn to Uncontrolled about all the rest?

Yes yes! Higher Higher!!!! Now if only she would replace Hot Girls with something else :laugh

And I like that she's focusing on the new songs. Didn't she say that after BF that she wouldn't sing old songs anymore?

She did? But she sang a lot of older songs after that...

Totally and i actually love it haha! I guess she sung many oldies in 5 DOMES Tour so..hahah

Well except for the 5 Dome Tour, but she said that she wouldn't sing TK-era songs anymore

Cause unless it's an anniversary or something special like the Okinawa live, she's not singing those old songs :(

But I kind of like it that way cause people get annoyed when ayu sings those same songs at every concert, so old songs are a bit more precious cause Namie sings them once in a blue moon now :laugh

i actually think LMLYG is missplaced, too. It could have been better somewhere wiith ONLY YOU and Love Story.


NIce tracklist, Namie!!

WOW...Almost all is her newer stuff...

i like her hall or zepp tour, i think small venue fit her...i really dislike her dome tour because it feels empty

Thanks for sharing, btw it's not her official facebook. Its from her fanpage ;)

This one is from her official facebook (https://www.facebook.com/NamieAmuroOfficial)
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...79749475_n.jpg

I know right. Her dome tour's tracklist were either too old or too new.

The tracklist is amazing. I love it~ :heart Now I want to see pics of her outfits.

oops, my bad, mixed up the accounts :laugh


I like when artists sing old and new songs mixed up, specially considering that all my top favorite Namie's songs were released before 2010...

She seems really uncomfortable in big crowds, which is why she prefers to do her tours in smaller, more intimate venues, and that fits her perfectly. And personally, I think she sort of disappear in a bigger setting.

I really like the setlist!

the setlist is totally amazing. so glad that she included alot of songs from uncontrolled

Happy to see Higher and UNUSUAL there, kind of a surprise she'll still performing these. A bit sad cause there is nothing from P<F or before :( Hide & Seek could have fit this so well, and a bunch of P<F tracks as well.

I was kind of sad too with no tracks from p<f but I still think the setlist rocks.

She's promoting her Dome Tour 2012 DVD/Blur-ray....

The poster is beautiful. I wonder if YesAsia will sell it but I doubt it...

i'm so happy that she included UNUSUAL on the setlist!! *--*

exactly..and she definitely dislike lot of stuff on her stage...
her stage always simple and blank...

Hall or Zepp definitely fit her more

I really want the tour poster... but its already 2,600 yen on YAJ:

Enjoy :)

^That's so great. I just love her old music.

the "FEEL" tour setlist is amazing! i'm so happy that namie performed most of my favorite songs, like "In The Spotlight (TOKYO)" & "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!". :)

No pics of the outfits yet? :(

^ I'm guessing mini-skirts and boots...but I'm just going out on a limb here :laugh

Namie and her boots are no supplies :P haha

OMG the photoshoot is pure amazing!! On a side note, anyone know of any reseller store in Tokyo that I can get concert tickets? Planning to go for Namie show on either 26 or 27 Nov in Tokyo

^
^
wowwww the photoshoot looks cool!
but her pose is kinda weird, it looks like she slips and bout to fall down haha XDD

anyway, love the setlist for the tour.
i thought she'd do arena tours, not doing halls anymore

http://namie-fans.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=656 the only place where you can find HQ Namie stuff. Tho those are scans.

:roflmao No doubt about that.

Hey I just wanted to share these. I got 'em in yesterday. Some of the Namie Amuro FEEL Tour 2013 Goods :blove :blove :blove :blove

Pamphlet book. Sorry about the photos. The writing on both sides is kinda hard to see since it sorta reflects the light. The book though is totally gorgeous through and through.

Black Pouch. SOOOO CUTE!!! :heart Oh funny thing, but both on the website and labels for it they called it "black porch" LOL

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...90037277_n.jpg

Poster A - I really think she looks SOOOO INCREDIBLE here. I'm planning to get it framed this week. :blove :blove :blove :blove

lising to the playlist made out of Feel Tours setlist is like listening to one big and genious album.
Glad she decided to dithc the old tours and do what tours a meant to be - promote the latest album. Moreover Uncontrolled did not have a proper tour and I did not like most of it's performanced at the Dome. Glad about that one too.

and for those wondering why she does no arena tour - you did not get her yet or? she is no show artist. Smaller venues fit her much better since she tendsto get lost in big ones. Moreover it looks much better on DVDs and she is not a big crowd person. Glad she decided to do more stops in smaller venues <3

love her.

The pouch is adorable!

Sigh, I'd like that poster SO much... It's really worth fraiming!

^the details in her eyes (and my apologies i couldnt get an even better shot) is incredible. :D

And if u want to buy any of the other goods too, I'd suggest going to Namie's Facebook Store. I don't know about shipping to Italy but the Shipping to Canada is a flat rate of 2650Yen no matter how much or how little you add to the cart. Yeah, I know its pricey, but it's shipped by EMS, well packaged and if you can afford (and want enough stuff) to shove in as much as possible it's not all that bad for your money. :)

I like the look and feel of the tour pamphlet a lot.
But the poster is a miss. She looks a dead mess, like rigor mortis just set in and she fell down or something. But the actual feel covers/poster are the best pics I've seen all year.

Thanks for the hints, and I really wouldn't mind pay for it (wooooorth it) but I'm so broke right now! :grumpy I just hope goods will still be there when I have some money again, sob.

I think rigor mortis takes place after you die. :laugh

On the contrary, the FEEL covers/posters are my least favorite of her shoots this year. Her mag pics be on point.

i've listened to "FEEL" & it's such an amazing album! :love

words can't describe how amazing the album is. i've been listening to it non-stop all weekend, lol. :P it's just that good! i don't think there's one song that i don't like. i love the album from start to finish! speaking of starting, "Alive" is a perfect song to start the album. like i said, i love all the songs on the album, but if i had to pick a #1 favorite, it's "Alive". :heart such an amazing song! but i have other favorites, like "Heaven", "Hands On Me", "Supernatural Love", and "La La La".

overall, "FEEL" is a perfect album! it's namie after all, so it's no surprise that i love the album this much. it's an amazing album & i love it! :)

Oops, I was always bad with bio.

Also I think Alive can be contended for one of namie's best songs ever,

On the contrary, I would have to put "Alive" into one of namie's worst songs ever category imo

sneak-peek at one of FEEL Tour outfits (from rekabiczka, tumblr)

? Who's that ???

Same here. It'd be just nice, if I had not heard this same type of track everywhere for the last two years. But I think it'll rock as a tour opening song.

Namie’s new endorsement. For a clothes brand - UNTITLED. Starting 8/20

:love

^Nice :D

that hairstyle...sigh...

If Alive is her worst song then there will never be a best Namie's song, ever.

For me Alive is the first Namie's song that can actually reach the darkness & awesomeness of Violet Sauce (Do Me More & Top Secret can be runner-up). Have been waiting for years since 2005 for that to actually happen, and now I'm feel Alive <3

I like the tour outifits! I expected something different and more elaborate from the tour posters, but I really like how they all fit Namie's style and personality. Let's see how she'll put them to good use now!

namie is pretty as always in the tour outfits! :heart
