I think _genic was a really particular situation. I remember a interview of hers saying she just left BRIGHTER DAY out so she could add all songs she wanted to - but I think someone need to warn her you can have an album with more than 12 tracks lol. Plus BD was the only single track, right now we have three, so I think it's very likely they'll be on the next album

I want Best Something, or a legit single like 60s70s80s ..

OMG!! Her creative team is ON POINT <3 That painting concept is everything. I can't get over this one:

^Broken link?

Stunning. That first portrait shot is STUNNING!! :love

Surprisingly , Hero went up to #15 this week , selling 6,163 copies

Total 3 week sales - 40,272

I'm sure Mint is still charting , I have to wait until tomorrow but cool that Hero sold more than last week's sales

Also , namie amuro LIVEGENIC 2015-2016 DVD is still charting . It sold 321 copies this week & its total sales is now 99,187

^Olympics started, it was expected to go up

Finally listened to Show Me What You Got

Namie makes the girliest girl songs that are clearly just for girls... yet I can't stop listening to it and Sweet Kisses.

And the PV is amazing, she has so much on-screen presence when shes just having fun.

Has anyone scanned Scwaii August (or I think July) 2016? I have the issue just wondering if someone already uploaded it.

This is actually quite good.

Position/sales updates for Mint

This week / week 13 : #186 ; 243
Total 13 week sales - 44,037

Anyway, among the most recent ones, which one is your fav single? I'd rank them like this:

Mint > Hero > Red Carpet > TSUKI > BRIGHTER DAY

That style reminds me of Gustav Klimt. :)


I'd say: Mint > Red Carpet > Brighter Day. I don't like any of the other two.

TSUKI and Mint above all :p

I say:

BRIGHTER DAY > TSUKI > Mint > Hero > Red Carpet

"Mint" & "Hero" totally blow away the past single releases, for me. :P but I've truly come to adore "TSUKI" over time! :heart I just don't listen to "BRIGHTER DAY" & "Red Carpet" that much - when it comes to Namie, I'm generally in love with her more upbeat songs. :)

Does anyone miss her hip-hop songs? I really do, but it's interesting to see how Namie redirected her sound almost seamlessly starting with maybe Uncontrolled? It was definitely apparent Namie's sound had changed with FEEL and was solidified with _genic. I'm sure she'll continue with this predominantly pop sound on her next album (as her singles indicate). I'm wondering how people are liking this change, and if anyone even noticed? I honestly wasn't even conscious of the fact that she'd brought the hip-hop sound to a minimum and then did away with it. I'm glad she can evolve so successfully as a pop act!

Mine is similar.
Mint > Tsuki > Brighter Day.
And don't like both Red Carpet and Hero.

tsuki> >>> brighter day> red carpet>mint>hero

im not feeling hero. (yet). i wasnt feeling red carpet as well but now, i l ove it.

TSUKI > BRIGHTER DAY > Red Carpet > Hero > Mint

I'm not a huge fan of Mint somehow. It's solid but not my cup of tea. TSUKI is one of my most favorite songs in general... I love it so much.

Mint >>>>> Red Carpet (especially for Black Make Up ♥) > Hero > Tsuki > Brighter Day
