I agree...but when does the woman ever take an unattractive picture? lol

Maybe she's a Japanese Barney Stinson? :P

The Contrail MV is amazing. Her smile is just lovely and her dress, omg I want it! It's so pretty.

Will be buying that sweet magazine definitely.
She looks amazing.

it's awesome how much promo she's got i wonder if she's gonna have any live performances on TV.

i actually wish Ayu had this much stuff going on. It's so silent.

the tour promo pic is totally stunning. love it!

Is she removing her arm tattoo? I know they could just Photoshop it out in magazine pictures but her tats look faded in her recent tour

The MV makes me love Contrail now, I love when Namie smiles like that ahh so cute!! :heart

I can't wait to hear 'Can You Feel this Love' in full. I'm trying so hard not to have the preview on repeat! It sounds addicting! I've been humming it all day haha!
I just watched the Contrail PV. I'm afraid I'm not impressed with it at all. I love to see Namie smile, but that's the only part I liked of the whole video :(
I'm excited for the rest of the album though! Poison sounds like an aaaaawesome title, ahhhhhh can't wait!!!

She's too pretty, and in Contrail's pv, smiling all the time, she's just perfect :blove
She's actually more pretty now than in her earlier career years imo

She probably is, she already removed the ones on her left wrist (and did a new one on that arm later)... I think she's finally getting rid of her not so pretty tattoos (even though the ones on her right arm were meaningful)...
Maybe later she'll make smaller and prettier tattos for her mother and son :) Or maybe she doesn't think she needs those tattoos anymore as it's been more than 10 years since she did those and she has already overcame this phase of her life... Who knows...

Exactly! She looks even better than her earlier days imo she's looking younger and fresher :D

I kinda noticed about her tattoos too, maybe she did removed them. I thought it was kinda cool about her tribute to her mother and son but the big one doesn't look really good for me lol

where is the information on her tour?

nevermind found it!

And just got to watch the video! its amazing...

Sorry for the double post, but also.
What is the drama called that had the piano version of Contrail. The video has been removed from youtube... :*(

^It's Soratobu Kouhoushitsu in TBS

^ thanks!!

Obviously it's completely up to her, but as a fan I kind of wish she'd keep them. They give her a 'rebel' aesthetic. But I understand that she has probably grown tired of them.

I just wanted to share this, but!
I got tickets to her Sendai show!!! YAY!!!

^OMG I'm really happy for you!
I know what you're doing when you ask about the tour lol~

Have fun watching her, I hope she pulls the big guns again :yes

Hands On Me PV will air on MTV Japan on Thursday!!
