What a great photoshoot! :heart

Really beautiful.

Reminds me a lot of Dejavu style(Kumi)

oooooooh so cuuute


I love the tights

this whole photoshoot is just absolutely...stunning. i can't pick a favorite! :laugh namie is so gorgeous! :heart :heart

This should be the cover of her new album.

When I'm obsessing over other artists, there's news about Dancing Queen. :D I'm so excited now. <3

NEW SINGLE COMING SOON! 安室奈美恵：“月9”ドラマ『私が恋愛できない理由』主題歌に決定！ ≫ http://www.visionfactory.jp/news/new...400_amuro.html

Awesome! I have a feeling this'll be a ballad.

The drama tie-up could be a new song (not HIGHER or THANK YOU), it was written after Namie read the script, and the song will be released on Chaku-Uta on Nov 2... :)

totally can't wait! i'm so glad it's officially confirmed. :D

Caaaan't wait! <3

Just saw this on Facebook.
Woot woot, can't wait.

wow, i can't believe it !!
i can't wait

I'm loving all of these tie-ins. I think I might actually check out this show.

so excited omg

hope it becomes a mega hit!

Just a few more days before the show airs. I'm surprised we haven't heard the song yet.

Love that photoshoot sooo much! A lot of the pieces are from EMODA :heart

They've come so far, I'm so proud.

Yes (Smash Up Remix) niiice ;)

Good to hear about the new single. Been keeping busy with Namie trance remixes. Are there any other artists besides DJ Amaya that has done trance remixes to Namie?

WILD is awesome though, even as good as the Past<Future Tour performance version.

^yey for new single~ :heart

december feels like forever from now. :weep lol. but it'll be worth the wait! can't wait for namie's new single. :)

I thought it's going to release on 11.30? oh well, we have to wait till Dec...

Nice! New material.

Sweet! On Amazon it says Maxi single too. That makes me super duper excited! ^^

That was a rumor from baidu.



So excited! But I was honestly was expecting an album!

With a release date such as that, there MUST be a winter-themed ballad/song on their a la "White Light" :)

From the direction Namie has taken with the release of her last two singles I wouldn't be surprised if the next turned out to be a Christmas release, but then again, it's not really like Namie to release festive music that often. I have a feeling that it will be a sweet, mid-tempo pop song like "Baby Don't Cry", or ballad like "The Meaning of Us".

Whatever it is, I think that we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

Me too. A bit disappointed it isn't one to be honest :(

omg new single! :yatta I hope we'll get some more details soon.

I'm also not expecting an uptempo song. I'm thinking it'll be a ballad or just some sort of a sweet song.

aah neeew siingle :luv2 :luv2 , Please one more White light :heart

cant believe they announce it so early..lol!! this is really long!!
cant wait

from namie's FB. Not sure if its reliable, and the title is really hilarious

^Yeah I saw it too! The title sounds like when some inexperienced dog trainer tries to get the dog to make tricks. :P
I hope the real (or this by all means) title gets revealed soon!

I'm not understanding the dog training title.

i really like Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! preview!!!!

^ I was about to post here x) Thanks anyway haha

I love 'Love Story', have been waiting for a PAINFUL/SAD ballad from her for long!!!

Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! sounds billion times better than Can't Sleep~

Thank you so much for posting the preview! I'm loving the way it sounds! I hope she has some really cute choreography for the chorus! I wonder if the song is about training a guy like a dog or something, lol.

I can't wait to hear this song in full! I too have been waiting for a sad, r&b ballad from her so I'm super excited! Perfect for winter time as well! This single is going to be perfect!

Love Story sounds great, so much better than tempest :D
Not really feeling Sit!Stay!Wait!Down, hopefully it will sound much better in hq.

Love Story sounds so beautiful <33

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Love the previews so far :)
I hope for great covers too, not as cheap as the "NAKED / Tempest / Fight together" ones.

both 2 new songs are used as OP & ED theme for the drama Watashi ga Ren'ai Dekinai Riyuu <3

omg i love how both songs sound! especially "Sit!Stay!Wait!Down!", lol. never expected such a title, but i totally love how it sounds so far. so catchy! and "Love Story" sounds beautiful. :heart

i can already tell this is gonna be another amazing single from namie! :vbhappy

I'm liking both previews! :)

Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! sounds fun. "Good boy, good boy♪" XD

I love Love Story~! :heart

I really like the previews! Especially the Sit!Stay!Wait!Down one :yes

Love Story is kinda boring. Nothing special but much better than Tempest, imo. Loving Sit!Stay!Wait!Down!

I am super excited! Love Story sounds like a perfect ballad for my tastes~ and Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! sounds interesting. I like both the previews, and I cannot wait to see the MV previews. I hope the Love Story MV is just as amazing as the MV for The Meaning Of Us. Can't wait for the covers!

Loving "Sit!Stay!Wait!Down!"! It's fun and a nice combo of sexy and cute. "Love Story" is a bit lackluster, but it's nice overall :)

Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! (i honestly find it so hard to type this lOL)..is quite cool! a lil mysterious esp how it ends

Love Story sounds like a darker The Meaning of Us. I'm liking it as of now. I love how Namie is fnally singing more ballads!!! :) I wish the chorus had more melody in it..but oh well..

i sense a new album coming soon after!! since Higher and Arigatou are not released. I mean, Arigatou totally sounds like an album finisher.

love both songs, especially love story, i'm balladsuckers!!!

Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! sounds really promising, but Love Story is kinda boring for me, i prefer Tempest

I'm really enjoying the Love Story and Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! preview. Should be another great release from Namie!

The title of the new single kind of makes me remember Can't Eat, can't sleep I'm sick...

LOL @ "Good boy, good boy" :lech

'Sit!Stay!Wait!Down!' sounds interesting but I'm not enamored by it. I need to hear the full song to make a proper review.

'Love Story' sounds very generic to me. But I prefer it over 'Tempest' easily.

The single is cute and sweet; Exactly what I expected. I'm not in love with the previews but it sounds like a step in the right direction for Namie right now.

Now hoping for good sales.

Mh, I don't like both previews. I don't know, but the last single release of Namie I really liked was WANT ME, WANT ME.

That was 6 years ago lol

You totally win LOL

So, u don't like Violet Sauce either, which is weird to me, i can skip any Namie songs just to listen to that one, epic!

It it really what she sings ? lol
Because I hear "Gura boy, gura boy" xD

(love engurish >_<)

^ Well, 'sit, stay, wait and down' are all dog commands and 'good boy' is something you say to a dog as well XD

I hope the songs will leak early. The official release date is so far away :thud

I never cared for Violet Sauce until (Spicy) version was released on the album. That version I love!

^
lol.

Well she's never really had good covers. Personally I dislike all the single covers expect for 2.

Yeah, her single covers have been kinda blah. Hopefully, this one will be amazing.

I love Namie. But she looked like hell on her last single.

She looks so young ...

Namie, japanese perfection <3

yaay she's on the cover of ViVi!

Beautiful cover :heart

i love her hair & that hat! she looks so pretty! :heart

She looks amazing. Sometimes I wonder if she really looks that incredible or if they touch her up. I'm sure that there has to be some touchups, but I wonder how much.

Another win.

I love this thread.

Flawless :heart
I love the second picture, her smile is just so cute! And I really like the scarf and the necklace.

oh my god she's so adorable!!! the best :heart

btw are those keys from Tiffany??

I love the new songs from the previews. I can't wait for the single now.

And she looks beautiful on ViVi cover. <3 Also those Live Style 2011 pictures are beautiful. Black and white reminds me of SWEET 19 BLUES photoshoot. I really love those pics <3

Nice. I added the video links to the first post.

omg, i adore both songs, this is gonna be great :yes

I have always thought she looks really bad in her DVDs, like a skinny sweaty bobblehead.
