LOL, yes rigid... It just bothers me when she is dancing... she just kind goes all stiff while she dances because you can tell she is concertinaing super hard.
I mean... we get videos like Contrail... she has so much emotion and just radiates happiness, but then you get videos like heaven where as soon as she starts dancing, its like. All business. lol

Damn. I don't know if I'm having a kind of hesitancy with the recent works of Namie. But they still sounds to me a lot of blah recently.

It's a shame that her music, to sound actual and trendy nowadays, has to use those high electrical sounds, with so much going on and being pretty generic and forgetful after some listens.

Yeah, it's fun and you get addicted to some parts, but, they are full of a emptiness that's quite impressive coming from an artist with her past works.

I think it's the price to stay in the media.

Anyway, Hands on Me it's the better one so far that is on the disc. I can't understand anything with her engrish, but I hope "Feel" doesn't sound like the disastrous "Uncontrolled" to me, being a piece of the same thing on and on, in a never ending nightmare.

I love all these high intensity songs she's been giving us. On top of that, her dancing/choreography is full of swag - she totally owns it. Makes me want to dance watching her dance, which I miss doing since Rock Steady and What A Feeling.

And holy crap, she's gorgeous!

Nah. These dances are like Gordon Ramsey having to toast bread.

Namie is ALL business when it comes to doing a Namie dance.

It's her image. It's her front. She's a badass. She doesn't give a ****. She is above that. There is music playing. There is dancing happening.

She's too cool for your school.

heaven is the better song, but hands on me PV was nicer. So Let me Let you go must be a ballad then (Beach PV)

after watching Heaven PV, it sounds so good now. i love the PV.
she looks extremely gorgeous. love her make up a lot.

TeamAyu2004, haha she's cool like that, that's her trademark.

I fukin LOVE the song! And OMG Zedd produced it!!!!

These are SO PERFECT, thank you so much for this, they're unbelivably amazing!!

About Heaven, I'm sorry to say I'm really not that impressed. Don't get me wrong, there's really nothing wrong with it, it's nice and catchy, but I've heard this stuff EVERYWHERE nowdays. Pratically every western woman minus Taylor Swift gave me something similar. Nothing special, or original. Still fun though. And it has a very badass, supersexy and nice video, but still, Hands on Me beats all this 10-0 for me.
Now I'm so curious about the rest of the album. I'm wondering if it'll have the same effect on me of Uncontrolled, which half I really liked, half I really didn't care!XD

so does someone have a better rip of heaven since the PV aired?

Same here. I still dont understand what is she singing even though it's in english. :headache
Wishing for more japanese songs in the album.

Thanks for sharing! :thud I love these! Please do make more my dear. :D

I hate to say this but I do hope the album leaks early so I can make my final decision before the first press sells out. :P The only Namie album that I physically own is P<F. It's high time I bought another one. :yes

I really don't like Heaven
Out of all the songs released so far the only ones I have liked are "Big Boys Cry"
and "Beautiful" (i have yet to listen to "Contrail" though)
I'm really not looking forward to this album
It sounds like it's going to be a generic dance album :\
Which is fine if that's what she's going for but that's just not the music that appeals to me

Namie's deadness is her trademark :P
And heaven has grown on me a lot.

Is there a streaming link out for Hands on Me? I want to start the viral campaign among friends.

i never realized people liked it. lol
Its a shame.

Heaven PV is decent. I think theres gonna be a part 2 for the PV, reason is the screen shot where
Namie is in the center and the dancers where jumping was not inthis PV.

I got a Katy Perry vibe from the song at the beginning, then it went to straight up Nikki Minaj feel...
all jabbering to me lol, song is meh, PV is decent
