Former solo queen of Japan bringing back the 90s.
Ready for #NA13 otherwise known as "Nostalgic 37 Dreams"

^ I am freaking DEAD.

OMG!!! Checkmate II is coming!!! Now Namie gonna collab with Ayu and make a PV something like bad blood~ Hahahaha! Just kidding guys! Seriously! I'm kidding!!

You got me there for a second, haha! Your funny. :spew:spew

Those new pictures are amazing. They remind me of the 90s so much~ :heart

THAT SOUNDED SO COOL!!! omg excited CHECKMATE II plzzz

Does she have enough collaborations for another collaboration best? Not that I'm against the idea but many of her collaborations were already in the first one. Second one would be full of new songs so it would be like a new album or a special concept album or something. :D

Looking forward to giving the preview a listen! And loving the new photos - so reminds me of Concentration 20 <3

I think that some of the tracks on Checkmate! were new ones (like Wonder Woman, make it happen or UNUSUAL) and were made just for this release.

Correct me if I'm wrong, so far she has :

- GROTESQUE feat Ken Hirai
- REVOLUTION feat Crystal Key
- 限界LOVERS feat SHOW-YA
- B Who I Want 2 B feat Hatsune Miku
- What I did for love feat David Guetta

It'd be a mess if she put in b who I want 2 b and what I did for love on a potential Checkmate 2. We know namie would be above that.

I didn't like de red cover of Marie Claire but everything else is beautiful.

there's also that Jolin Tsai song.

She probably wouldn't include the _genic collabs though, just like how Fish, Ups&Downs, First Timer, and a bunch of others never made it on Checkmate

I don't think there will be a Checkmate pt2 anytime soon, but I wouldn't mind it, Namie is the collab queen after all

The marie clair shoot is gorgeous :luv2

Not feeling that rock song collab. Guess I'll go back to anticipating REVOLUTION. lol

Oh yes, how could i forget that collab with Jolin Tsai ?! D:

Well, if we take off the featurings from _genic, we have so far 4 tracks for a potential Checkmate! 2 (GROTESQUE, REVOLUTION, 限界LOVERS, I'm Not Yours).
5-6 collabs to go, + 2 or 3 new ones ;)

YESSSSSS I LOVE THIS

YAAAAAAAAAAS NAMIE USED MY FINGER AS A SUPPORT YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

I am loving how she is sounding on that Show-ya song!

Ahh...I just looove this new version of the "Golden Touch" PV! :blove I just wish it was a tad bit longer, that's all. :P But anyway, Namie's so gorgeous in the entire video. :heart I especially love that yellow/white dress she's wearing...:luv2 Very pretty!

And I am still totally lovin' "Golden Touch" (the song, itself) as well. :cool :heart

^ me too, I guess it's my favourite from _genic :yes And I love the new video, even tho it makes me think she should have been featured since the first one hahahaha

btw Waterfalls feat. Namie could also be a potential track for a Checkmate II, right?

More from the news:

I'm not such a huge fan of Golden Touch but it is a very creative/fun music video. I felt bad when I pushed her chair and she gave that look behind her like "What the hell?" My first time touching Namie Amuro and I push her.... xD

There were some scene in the news report that we didn't see in that preview. So we can expect a full ver soon. Yey! I'm kind of over the song but the vid is just so cool. :luv2

^ I saw a guy saying on a FB group that the full ver will avaible for streaming for those who buy _genic at tour venues :P I wonder how leakable that is

I like it even better now with Namie on it...

So much better than the original version. Too bad it's not a full version :(

I'm loving it

Wow, so many Namie news lately.
I.m not feeling the Crystal Kay song for now but that heavy metal one is impressive. This was a huge surprise! I want to hear the full ver. Hopefully, Namie has a few more lines.
The new edit for Golden Touch is sweet.
And those pics of Marie Claire are showing a fresh and young Namie. After some weird magazine covers, these are really nice.

Came to the GOODS party severe late.
Yeah, I'm not making a 'ticket board' account just to order Namie tour goods, haha. If anyone is ordering, let me know, and I'll definitely take part.

To carry on, these collaborations are random. But, I'm not complaining, haha.

Namie looks beautiful!! after watching the golden touch remake, I wonder why it wasn't made like that in the first place. :)

This new Golden Touch version should've been the original instead tbh

the new Golden Touch is way better than the original one. Love it!!

She looks so cute in this version of Golden Touch! :yes

NO KIDDING :O she should do a rock album or something! https://www.facebook.com/namiefans/v...2122595352865/

^that was already posted pages ago.

I love this version of Golden Touch's PV even more, it's so cool to actually interact with Namie :D

More from 'Golden Touch'

I second this question! What happened to her tattoos? :shakehead :(

^ I want to know about her tattoos too.
If she got them removed it's a little sad.. I wonder what her reason for this was if that's the case

Yeah, she's been getting rid of her tattoos lately.
I'm going to miss her tattoo to her mom.

They really seem to be amazed by that !
Come one, we're in Japan, where robots dance and play football, and where you can sleep with an anime character virtually.
lol.

She's been removing them since 2012.

I hope they're finally gone, they were so faded at the beginning of the year and she's been trying to get them off for 3 years already...

Now the question is: WHY is she removing them?

She probably gets tired of them. Is weird because she made a new one around 2012-2013, dont remember the age...

http://amiamiflower.up.n.seesaa.net/...too-3.jpg?d=a1

^ 2011.

Maybe she's moved on? I mean those two tattoos had a very important meaning to her, maybe removing them is equally meaningful? Maybe they're just not necessary anymore to give her strength and she decided she could remove them now? idk, just thinking, we'll likely never know...

Yeah I agreed. I also noticed that while her tattoos were in the process of getting removed she also stared smiling more. Maybe she healed!! :P

I also agree with pimenta, maybe she decided to let of the past so she could go forward

Or maybe they're changing her for a droid who has an smiling app instaled who knows

^ :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

The full pv will be air tonight.

^ I hope there's more than they both dancing in the middle of the crowd during the PV. I'm excited :yes

Yes! I'm glad they did a song together, even if I think the remix is better than the original. Lol I wanted a really EDM-heavy track! It's not bad though!

To be honest, I'm more looking forward for the full version of the new Golden Touch PV.

CKay looks so smoking hot I couldn't even notice Namie tbh =/

I think Namie looks horrible in that red dress, it looks like a potato sack, and CK looks stunning.


Also, the height difference lmao.

Ah, I just can't wait to watch the full PV! I love Crystal & Namie's dancing, already. :love Plus, I gotta say how much better (and more gorgeous :heart) Namie looks with that red dress during the video, compared to how she looks on the single covers. :luv2 Looking forward to the full PV real soon! :D

I have expected this kind of PV...club banging...both of them on stage...I can picture it since the first time I hear the song...

Namie lost her neck yet again at 0:21. :roflmao. Can't wait for the full pv.

Short version of "REVOLUTION" PV:

Ahhh the PV looks great. Is that KO?

They looked great. Still not a huge fan of the song or of the music video itself, but they look fantastic (Crystal's legs. Ohhhhhhhhhhmygawd. :love) and they looked to be having some actual fun, so I'm still looking forward to the entire thing.

They both look so cool.

They both look great! Lovely PV.

The height difference is very distracting, though :laugh I always forget how small Namie, Ayu etc are. I remember feeling like a giant in south Japan and I'm just 174 cm.

Full PV of "REVOLUTION", for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. :D
http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Crystal...59551fad40a8ce

I love the entire video! :love Crystal & Namie both looked absolutely stunning and gorgeous. :heart And they also make such a great pair for a collaboration, as well! It was totally a fun PV to watch. :) They both also had those dance moves down, for sure. :cool Funny thing is...the choreography/dancers look & all of that totally reminds me of what Namie would do in her own videos. It all had that "feel" (no pun intended! :laugh) for sure. :D

Painfully average song. Crystal Kay looked great. Namie looked great too in the part where she had her hair down, but that red dress is just awful.

Not crazy about the dance scenes, but overall really good!! :P

Saw some pics of the LIVEGENIC pamphlet on baidu and I LOVE them. She needs to step up her album booklet game like she does with live pamphlets :dead

The PV of Revolution is not bad.
But I wonder why japanese singers want to "fry" so much, let's bring them to McDonald's !
(huhu jk)

The PV and song are okay. They look beautiful in the solo scenes.

The PV is okay, but Namie's red dress really isn't all that good looking.

God I LOVE Crystal's voice so much. The parts where they were singing in the black clothes though were absolutely gorgeous. Dancing was alright.

Hey is there a download of the video? Jpopsuki is a being very big pain to load.

I like the song and PV, though the choreography is a bit boring... but they look good :)

The choreography is not as good as I expected. It makes the song even more boring.

LIVEGENIC opening night setlist:

1. What I Did For Love

^ I really like that setlist

Nice to see dr

OMG, That setlist is everything *__________________*

That's a fantastic setlist. I wonder if there was anything special about the B Who I Want 2 B performance/any cameo by Miku.

Every song on _genic, and Dr + Get Myself Back, I am living.

Is that set list real?? cause I'm getting super excited here!!

I bet Golden Touch live is a sight to see.

Dr??? OMG, the setlist is great :luv2

Mostly excited about Close your eyes, close to you and Dr. Sounds like a great setlist!

Asia Tour announced!
http://namieamuro.jp/news/2015/detai...medium=twitter

^Awesome!

Love the setlist. Not once has Namie disappointed me when it comes to song selection.

Yay for the setlist! and Asia Tour!

Dr., SWEET KISSES and Break It!!! :D

If WoWa and COPY THAT were included I'd be dead

Another amazing tour set list from Namie, as always. :love What I'm super excited to see are performances of "Photogenic", "Stranger" & "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!". :heart :inlove

Asian tour!! Maybe she'll visit countries like Singapore and Korea.

Great setlist, all songs from _genic are there!

Nice setlist for the tour but I kinda wished she didn't perform that one specific song I can't stand but otherwise the setlist is awesome. :)

She's werking those boots.

omg wHEN IS THIS CONCERT AIRING?

And these two outfits looks great, I love the red one :yes The hair is what I expected so nothing to add

Namie looks fabulous, Wow Jaw drop!! :)

Loving the set list and her outfits! :love

The red one reminds me of the one from LIVE STYLE 2011.

The setlist song choices are great although per usual I always questions the way she put it together lol

Wish her asia tour would come to SG, I would die to see her!

*pops the champagne* Happy Namie Touring Time Everybody!!!!

Lord, I was away from this site for one day ONE DAY and it's the very day she started the concert. I'm so excited for the tour and, oh my god, that setlist. The farther down I read the list I was just getting more and more excited! I need more info! No. I just need to be there!! Ahhhh!
