wow thanks for sharing!
actually i wish they didn't wear the PV's outfits for the cover haha XD
but namie is so pretty when smiling! :love:love

Im going to be few that love the scawaii cover -.-
I flipping love it!
Then don't, no one is forcing you.

Awesome song :heart

I love make it happen! I even like the girls, too (even though I don't listen to Korean artists). The PV is AMAZING.

I have a question I hope someone can answer here.. does the Break it/Get myself back single have other pictures in the booklet?

^Nope. I'm guessing it's the same for the CD only version too.

nope :no

my friends have the CD + DVD edition of Break It / Get Myself Back & they said the inside sleeves contains the box that Namie's in , except she's not there haha

oh okay. thanks guys. It's a shame Namie doesn't have that many pics in her booklets since her photo shoots are usually so amazing. I was looking at scans of PLAY, Style, and Queen of Hip pop and even though they're albums there still aren't many pics in the booklets at all either. :(

PLAY didn't really had that much pics of her D: D: but it beats not having any to begin with I feel :O

PAST < FUTURE's a bit better , at least there's a pic of her in almost every single page before she rip apart the BEST FICTION photo in her hands haha

^I wonder why it is that she doesn't have that many. there's probably a bunch of gorgeous unseen pics they didn't use. I'd love if she were to release full booklets and photo books with her albums!

Bad place to ask here but is AI good?
I love her voice in WM

she usually rap though, but she still sing in her own songs

try "for my sister duet with judith hill". Her voice is really interesting

Yeah I don't mind rapping.
That's cool thanks I'll try it out.

Ahhhh I want the other songs! haha

im very excited for this release~!

I think ai is ok. I only really like her when she's featured. suite chic feat. ai- uh uh..., namie amuro feat. ai and anna tsuchiya - wonder woman, ai feat. namie amuro - fake, anna tsuchiya feat ai - crazy world, etc. I think alone her music isn't really my cup of tea.

too bad namie's OS version of Concert DVDs don't hv any booklets T__T
so plainnn~~
the japanese version also the same or not?

Thanks. I like the cover :yes

all credit should go to fyafterschool.tumblr.com :laugh thats where i get all AS stuff~

ummm thats kinda stupid lol sorry..
but you should just listen to it cuz all they get to sing is the beginning and some "woo"'s and "hey's" :laugh it still has a namie vibe :yes

Somebody can translate Wonder Woman lyrics?

■Pop star Namie Amuro will collaborate with NEWS star Tomohisa Yamashita in her upcoming album. The two will sing a love song titled “UNUSUAL”. Amura had said she wanted to make a song with a male artist who could sing and dance, and that she had gotten the most inspiration from watching Yamashita’s “One in a million” performance. It is the first time Amuro has performed with a Johnny’s talent. The video has already been shot.

my oh my , a love song ?! this's going to be fun 8D

^ woah a love song title! how sweet..so can't wiat!!
woahh amuro said that? she's impressed with Yamapi's One in a million performance? woah~~

Love song O.o noooo

One in a mirrorm million is my least fave Yamapi solo single ~_~ but I don't know , there must be something in Yamapi that Namie sees in when she saw him performing this song

I just hope UNUSUAL wouldn't be cheesy for me to stomach :x

^ haha i like Hadakanbo better bahaha..
yea there must be something..but Yamapi is pretty cool when performing on stage..i like him ehehe~

SHUN choreographed make it happen & UNUSUAL PV... He's also a dancer in #1 PV... :)

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but the OS press of both the CD+DVD and CD only will come out 3/25 in Taiwan

oh cool! i love SHUN! :D looks like UNUSUAL is gonna be a dance song! i can already imagine yamapi's dancing, haha. :tipsy

OK who has good-sounding PV rips of the two new collabs?

Thanks so much for the info about OS Press! :D

i'm gonna get the OS version instead!
thanks for the info, Pommy!

so any idea when UNUSUAL PV will be released?

wow I'm really surprised that avex Taiwan is making them :O , I wonder how come they're able to do that as compared to Kumi's OUT WORKS since both OUT WORKS & Checkmate ! are both collaboration albums

must be an internal issue haha

^ wow thanks for sharing!!
Namie is so cuteee!!

^^ beautiful! Queen of photo shoots :love

so pretty!

Wow, so beautiful.

Yup. That's pretty.

安室奈美恵さん、あなたはとても美しいです :heart

^ for some reason I read that as "oishii" and had myself a giggle. But, obviously it doesn't say that haha.

From my knowledge of seeing song titles use those words frequently, I was able to read 2/3's of that sentence without a google translator. I feel special teehee

安室奈美恵ちゃんは一番きれいな日本人の歌手だよ！

^嘘！安室奈美恵さんは二番です！ｗ

停止スパミング -.-

僕はそれが楽しいと思います！:^D

Make it Happen > Wonder Woman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Break It

I am loving these songs so much :heart

^aw Break it is soooooo awesome though. I love it sfm. It's always the first song I listen to every day now. It really gets me energized and going~

I don't like Break It at all. Get Myself Back was much better imo.

These new songs are really promising though!

Oh yeah... Whatever happened to "Break It" and "Get Myself Back"? Just random non-album singles? Maybe there's a full studio album release in the near future. Or I'm just getting my hopes up. Namie releases take FOREVER.

took me a while to stop disliking Break It as I really dislike the melody as it was very annoying

I wouldn't say which song that Break It sounded almost similiar but if you know so then good for you haha

I don't want to bash anothe artiste in here but I'm fine with Break It now . I think the PV must have changed my opinion on it x)

多分 -.-

*sigh* I really hope so

Can anybody translate this article?... I think she said in her ViVi magazine interview, she wants short hair... :eyebrow

http://mdpr.jp/021133440

^ I hope not, her long hair is so gorgeous.

me too~ I didn't used to be so crazy about break it/GMB but now I've realized that whole single is just perfection. :yes

namie should always have long hair! it's just....namie. :P

using google translate so attempt to speak japanese isn't cute... -_-

Why is everyone speakin "easy peasy Japanese" now?

No no omg I will tear up if she ever cuts it
That's how much I love her hair

I love her hair but a change wouldn't be bad~~

LOL no, Namie's not "delicious" I've never eaten a Namie before :laugh
And I'm not using google translate, I actually know how to say "Namie Amuro is pretty" (Took a grade 10 Japanese course, now working on a Japanese 11) and we learned ALOT from it XD

Omg taste a namie someday *drools*

She said before that she wanted short hair~

Namie should never cut her long beautiful hair :no

Don't mind a hair cut, never did. Hair is growing pretty fast. :shrug
Namie could look awesome with the right short hair cut!

^ She has actually had short hair before and it didn't look bad really. Just about any hair looks good on her.

I sort of did. My japanese only goes so far. And I"m sure I was very inaccurate. I was half google translate/half from memory. lulz

I don't think Namie looks that good with short hair, especially when she has bangs. I remember when she was wearing that short wig last year she looked like a 5 year old. long hair helps make her look her age, plus it's just gorgeous and sexy.

I don't think these were posted.. VIVI scans~


she looks so tired in these and the Gisele ones.. I do like these though http://i51.tinypic.com/1zpjqtv.jpg :heart

very nice ViVi scans! and i like the GISELe scans, too. especially her outfits. the second scan is my favorite! :heart

wow! so gorgeous.
My favorite one is with the glasses.

She looks so relaxed and kind of tired in gizelle specially in pic 4.
I love the looks

GISELe scans is simply HORRIBLE Y.Y Oh Why?>!!

^yeah.. don't you think she looks really awkward? like her head looks too big for her body or something.. and her face looks pasted on. idk, it's just weird and she looks tired. I think it's just really badly photoshopped x_x

Thanks for all the scans! She looks gorgeous


But indeed, I dont like Giseles scans either

The second one to the right looks exactly like something from the SWEET 19 BLUES era...and not in a good way.

That's the only picture I like out of the whole photo shoot. The others are just :no

thanks for sharing the scans!
i love the last pic of giselle..so adorableee!

The Gisele pictures are just X_X

Only the glasses pic is bearable!

But I love the ViVi scans ♥

she looked as though she didn't had enough sleep before getting ready to do the photoshoots for ViVi & Gisele D:

but those pics of her with the glasses are <3

ViVi scans = :luv2
I really love them, especially the one where she smiles/

Thanks for posting the Gisele scans. I think this one is very cute :yes
Her outfits are :luv2

Thanks! Gisele ones are horrible though >.<

They are not that bad she just looks tired.

Those pics are ok but since were on the subject of Namie's hair I prefer with black hair.

Namie fb
Blackout pv coming soon


I'm now excited to see it

^WTF......

That look crazy where did you get the images from?

Namie fb

omg, the pics are son interesting, i can't wait

^^^Woah.....:eyebrow

I can't wait to see the pv for this. :P

I'll just leave this here.

It's... interesting lol. Namie sounds a bit odd, but it's getting catchier as I listen to it!

Weird, I love the rapping part more than the chorus, which is ... rare for me

who is Lil' Wayne??

...Black girl? :laugh

As far as I know, Lil' Wayne is a american rapper. :D

And I think I'll wait for Checkmate to be released before I listen anymore songs. I want to be surprised as much as possible. <3

Namie Amuro feat. Yamashita Tomohisa - UNUSUAL full song;
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhaaba_y_music

rip : http://www.mediafire.com/?fbwncj5y7cqa6sc

^ OMGNess thanks a lotttttttt!!
listening to it nowww!!

anyway, i love that BLACK OUT.. the music sounds so fresh!

I never liked lil Wayne his rap is so rough but I was watching a documentary of him and
I gained alot of respect for him, he got on a record deal when he was 9 years old


For some reason I thought I was listening to will I am and not verbal
I'm going to like blackout also unusual sounds nice.

So we just missing the ballad then

OMG at UNUSUAL D:

I thought it was going to be something terribly cheesy but it sounds like something which's taken from the SUPERBAD side of Yamapi's SUPERGOOD SUPERBAD

I'm kinda liking Namie's collaboration with Yamapi a bit more than Anna Tsuchiya & AI xD
