^STYLE's better. Even break the rules is good.

I really like STYLE, it deserves a lot more love IMO. One of my favourite Namie albums. :yes

which album of hers's sold the least again ?

was it STYLE ?

Yep that's the one. Really upset me when I heard that. :(

Also Put 'Em Up is her lowest selling single, and that's like one of my fav Namie songs! T_T

I think it's so sad that STYLE is her lowest selling album.
And that Put 'Em Up is her lowest selling single.

I believe her highest selling single is CAN YOU CELEBRATE and her highest selling album is PLAY? Not sure though.

You are right about CAN YOU CELEBRATE? But SWEET 19 BLUES is her highest selling album. :yes

I honestly thought STYLE was one of her best albums! It still bothers me that it's her worst selling album (>_<).

^You're Not The Only One...don't the albums go in order of how the sold though?...except for the whole QOHP PLAY and Style?

Sweet 19 Blues
Concentration 20
Genius 2000
PLAY
Queen Of Hip-Pop
Break The Rules
Style

Edit just checked...QOHP sold more than BTR.

What about Dance Tracks Vol.1? That one sold pretty well too

Do they count that one?

Wasn't that done with the Supermonkey's or whatever they were called? xD!

EDIT: Just checked and it was credited under her solo name!~

Yeah that one is classified as a Namie album too. XD I heard that one sold over a million just like her other older ones.

^I don't consider that one only cause it wasn't under her Avex career, but if I did include it would it be right above or under C20?

Fair enough reason then. :laugh I believe it sold about roughly 100K under Concentration 20. :yes

Edit: Fixed the bad typos. :laugh

From Break The Rules i like only Never End^^ Genius is ok, but i like only Something 'bout the kiss, Love 2000, Leavin' for Las Vegas and Kiss and Ride.
Sweet 19 Blues and Concentration are nothing special for me, i can't remember how songs go anyway...

and i absolutely love Style, Queen of Hip-Hop and Play.

Style was ahead of its time. ^_^

Well considering how low the singles sales were STYLE actually sold pretty well. A platinum record isn't bad~

Eh. STYLE, i think, is her best album, followed by PLAY then QoHP, regardless of sales.

And Yeah, thy loved changing the groups name in the SUPER MONKEY'S days.

I love break the rules more than any other album ;)

Agreed :yes Except for me, I would switch PLAY and QOHP :)

I really liked the tracks FISH, it has such a weird title :laugh but awesome song :D

Ohh yes please. Wow that poster must be pretty rare :O

Ooo Yes! Please do share! Any pictures of Namie is readily welcomed in my book. xD

STYLE took a while to grow on me. Maybe it's because I started off with her Queen of Hip-pop album and went backwards? =/

After I saw her do "Fish" live on Live Style I was blown away. Started appreciating the B tracks more actually.

^ Wow. I started off the same as you :D Queen of Hip-Pop was my very first album from Namie, and I loved it! Then I went from there and I fell in love :laugh

^ Haha. That's exactly what happened to me also. xD I kinda cheated and downloaded her First Best album and was surprised at how her earlier songs sounded. Kinda threw me off for a bit. I loved them anyways. Dancey songs always = win in my book. xD

goods in a-nation 2008^^

Those goods are kinda ugly. D: They look like what hitomi would make. XD You can't really tell it's Namie's stuff anyway. :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwmf2...eature=related

oh you wont believe what namie did in this video... i was "wtf?" by the way the girl is rinka, the japanese french model

No t-shirts for males in the a-nation 2008 goods...

O_O;

yeah the love thing is too hitomi-ish (or maybe ai-ish too XD) i thought they will pus the play tour sign or sth like that :( but its not that bad~ i still like it

wee i preorder BEST FICTION CD+DVD, going to get it on 8/1, and it's coming with a poster, so more happy!

^ ooh very nice , where did you preordered it from ?

Karen just pre-order from CD Japan, that's your best option.

really why ? I thought their shipping charges are quite expensive .

Anyway I saw this 2 CDs + DVD compliation called J Pop Phoenix just now at CD Rama & it cost S$20.95 . It's released in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Avex Asia 3 years ago .

A few of Namie's songs are included in both CDs among other avex artistes like TRF , otsuka ai & ayumi .

you can see it at http://www.yesasia.com/global/avex-a...0-en/info.html

Yeah, their shipping may be expensive, but the items are priced cheaper than Yesasia, so in the end the prices are almost the same. Anyway, CD Japan handle goods better than Yesasia, and your guaranteed to get your items without damage. It's just my experience. I use Yesasia as a last resort.

ah ok I see & yes I also use YesAsia as the last resort

in fact the only good thing about YesAsia's when I ordered OS presses of NEWS & ARASHI's concert DVDs for my younger sister & myself respectively

we don't need to pay extra for the shipping since the dvds are priced US$25 & above

Even in Japan we need to preorder it to get the B2 Poster or else you wont get it.

I preordered it on tsutaya yesterday

ok WADDA HECK WAS NAMIE DOING IN THAT VID!!

a-nation tour '08 goodies - http://shop.mu-mo.net/list2/200403001?jsiteid=mumo

quite limited as compared to the rest of the acts hmm

I don't know if i've told you this before, but even though you have to pay SGD$10 for shipping (Air Mail) in CDJapan, it's worth it because for me, the CD arrives in 3 days which is earlier than the estimated 4-12 days!

actually you didn't told me this before :laugh

I don't plan to buy from CDJapan anytime soon

too bad they don't have OS presses of items , if they do I seriously will consider to engage their services

Really?...so does that mean that I can get mine withing 1-3 days of it being shipped?

looks like it dude

they don't call it EMS for nothing

im so torn between the cd+dvd firstpress or cd only...the cd only cover is 10x better, in my book. but do i want the dvd?! ugh! i need to decide soon haha.

You will NEVER have OS versions on CDJapan, because OS versions are FORBIDDEN in Japan during a couple of years after Japanese release.

Only Yesasia, Play-Asia, and HMV Hong-Kong sell OS versions.

Another question...which jacket is the poster going to be?

Wow, I hate Namie's goods from a-nation. They're honestly the worst, I don't even see her name on them. I think Ayu got the best.

I hope not...I don't like the promo pic cause one of her eyes looks weird...I prefer CD/DVD jacket:love

@ dddaiyamondo

Her name IS on the back of that shirt with the heart...LOL

LOL i just would've liked to have seen her face... or her name... bigger. Not all that weird stuff. I wonder why even people like SEAMO and Ami get better stuff than her.

Here is my "Stop the Music" poster back from way back when:

^ Damn that's one awesome poster!

It's like...MASSIVE!!!, and I love your FP for S19B...so jealous that was one of the ones I would have wanted...now I have to buy the ugly cover...:eviltongu

the same reaction here.

Haha, I love that font on the poster. :D It reminds me of Dexter's Lab. :P
Poor Super Monkey's are about half the size of Namie's leg. :cry

Wow nice poster. ahh and you have the Don't Wanna Cry & body feels EXIT singles! brb robbing your house :mischief

I wish Namie has better a-nation goods. I was really looking forward to them, I was hoping they'd stick to the BEST FICTION theme .__.

huh what do you mean OS presses are banned in Japan ?

They are not aloud to be imported into the country, I think that's what he meant.

And that Stop the music poster is just awesome! Gosh, I'm so jealous.

hmm ok

not sure why that's not allowed though , weird

That's why Yesasia don't send OS version in Japan ;)

eh

they do though except they don't accept preorders

I know cos I emailed them regarding OS presses of ARASHI's One Love & for that matter they don't accept preorders

When I used to use yesasia I saw the banner that said that they can't send ship OS in Japan..

Anyway Yesasia shop is not located in Japan that's why they have OS

oh yeah that's right , they cannot ship OS stuff to Japan

their HQ's located in HK so yeah

I'm not sure if I should get BF when the OS press rolls out in S'pore

I only have her PLAY album :weep

Of course you should buy it, but buy the JP Version and make sure it's from CD Japan or HMV, as it will go towards her ranking on the Oricon Charts! We want Namie to be way ahead of the rest. :yes

^ I know that sales from CDJapan are counted towards Oricon but does that applies the same for HMV Japan too ?

I'm quite sure it is seeing as it's located in Japan. I couldn't see how it's any different from CD Japan

HMV is a very famous shop and I'm sure it counts on Oricon too =)

OMG My 2 bought copies are going towards her sales...?!...I'm so excited...my first contribution to her:)

haha :laugh

& I'm assuming you preordered BF from CDJapan , dude ?

^Yeah, Richie told me that they were cheaper on CDJapan...which they were cause Yesasia upped their prices, AND that shipping was faster, so I assume I'll be getting both orders on the same day, just in different packages as I ordered with different credit cards.

it's true that YesAsia takes a bit longer than HMV Japan & CDJapan , it took about 8 working days for me to receive my copy of the latest ARASHI DVD

but it took 5 working days for the NEWS's Never Ending Wonderful Story DVD to arrive at my house though

I think it depends on luck

Does anyone have the romanized lyrics of Do Me More?

Romaji thanks to kevin_vlc @ JPM. Lyrics not 100% accurate.

LOLOLOL good for you, the CDs i can buy are usually chinese rip offs of her albums so i dont think i can contribute XD

Yep, only JP releases count towards the Oricon Rankings. (>_<)

Yeah but you contribute on her asian sales ;)

Woah, do Chinese releases count towards Asian sales? I didn't think they counted towards anything. ROFL

Since the OS version is waaaay cheaper than the Japanese version, and if the Japanese could buy OS versions, the JPN version cds will never sell.

I was about to say the same thing ^^

well that make sense

I'm always in favor of OS presses since I'm forever broke & am not willing to shell out extra for the original Japan presses

but in certain occasions , I have no choice but to get the original Japan presses of items

Thanks for the lyrics!!

Anyway i just can't wait for the 30th D: (Though i have yet to even preorder it)

Hmm...I thought the PLAY TOUR would be doing better than that. >_<.

^ eh your point meaning Mike ?

the PLAY DVD was released way back in Feb 27th this year & it's still great that it's hovering in the DVD chart dude

True, but I suppose my hopes are way above the norm. :roflmao

dunno has been posted or no

It was posted on the NNN website, but I don't think anyone posted it here. =D

Yeah I don't think anyone posted it here too. XD

Speaking of NNN I just saw this!
http://i33.tinypic.com/143nqip.jpg

Yeah, I saw that earlier. xD! She looks hot, but it isn't the best promo pic for the album! To be honest, I prefer the others more.

I agree with you. She looks kinda uncomfortable in that shot.

Looks weird..for me..
I like the album cover more.

I was thinking about the lyrics for R&Me and I think Namie or Nao is trying to say like, "It ain't R&B, it's R&Me."

...XD

wooow, awesome picture <3

i can't wait until a DVD of the BEST FICTION tour comes out. <3

I like that cover... the PSed hair still bugs me, but it's not as bad far away. I really like that pict. I wouldn't mind a poster of that.

wee~preordered BEST FICTION CD+DVD, getting a poster too on 8/1

Which version was it you ordered? I'm guessing it was the JP Press.

^ I don't think the OS press is released yet?

Man, I seriously hope Singapore will import the digipak+the poster.

umm well i'm not sure, i'm pre-ordered it in the store, so i would think it's the taiwanese version
