that performance was wild! :laugh i really liked it. namie looked pretty, of course, but i think anna tsuchiya looked the best out of all 3 girls. i just loved her hair & outfit!

i also agree about that dress during the red carpet, though, lol. not the best dress, but i loved seeing namie smile!

I thought the performance was ok. I thought Namie did well, but AI looked like a troll and her voice was over-powering and annoying D:

^^hahahaha I'm pretty sure I just died laughing at the "troll" comment -- you pinpointed it very well ;oP

I loveeee Naked -- I wasn't thrilled with the wonder woman performance, I would have preferred Make It Happen, Unusual, or #1 instead (mostly because out of all the collabs I like Wonder Woman the least) but Namie looked good and her vocals were probably the best during the "You don't need to be perfect" part.

I had a feeling the performance might be a bit messy because that song doesn't sound like it would have any choreography. It pretty much seemed like it would just be the girls singing on stage and doing whatever. Sometimes that's cool and other times it just looks messy.

LOL @ that troll comment! Totally trueee! XD

ROFL you are so right!!! :roflmao

I am quite surprised by how 'NAKED' sounds. I only like the backing vocal verse/build up to the chorus and that's it. The rest of the song sounds messy. It doesn't sound terrible but at the same time it's no 'WILD' or 'ROCK U'.

And that MTVJ performance was all over the place. Anna Tsuchiya looked amazing though. ;)

This is so random, but I wish she would do something like LOVEBITE again. Short, sweet, and insanely catchy. Ugh I love that song.

^Agreed, I LOVE Lovebite, it's soooooo good

NAKED is slowly growing on me :) But I like Fight Together better...
Excited to hear Tempest, especiall because it's probably a ballad~

AI killed it for me she overpowered their vocals.

I didn't hear Anna at all, they all looked amazing except for AI wtf was she wearing O.O?

she looks really really tanned

Thought I was the only one who loved that song.

NAKED is alright. I expect so much from Namie now that I was bound to be just "meh" to something eventually. But I really think it will grow on me...and a lot. WILD was the same with me at first and now I'm in love with it.

:roflmao

omg I love LOVEBITE. Like you said, it's so sweet.

I'm hoping this years tour will truly be like Live Style 2006 and she'll perform a bunch of b-side and other songs that we've never seen her perform. I feel like there's a lot of songs from Style that I'd really like to see her perform in concert.

^ +1, I would die if she perform Gimme More from Style, I <3 that song Y-Y

I love As Good As. :heart

gimme more would be so awesome if she performed that live. I would DIE. *_______*

I'm obsessed with As Good As - whoops almost typed As Good Ass - Lovebite live would be amazing too.

I'm still waiting for 'Free' from Queen of Hip Pop, and I think I would just about DIE if she did 'Private' again after 495489058790436 years.

^Free, I'm rootin' for it as well, she has to perform it at least once!!

MTV VIDEO MUSIC AID JAPAN / 安室奈美恵（Red Carpet）

I watched the performance of Wonder Woman, and i find it very messy :|
It was totally playback, and they all three screamed instead of sang... And the worse was AI ...yurk... totally disgusting girl to me.
WTF? The PV was cool, and their voices worked well together, but there... a full mess.

Come, As Good As, and LOVEBITE <3<3<3 That would be perfect as a medley!

That would definitely make an awesome medley

Glad to see support for these songs. ;) Those are some of my top songs off of STYLE. Namie, please sing them for old times sake. :yes

^I definitely echo "As Good As". That would be good performed alongside Shut up or Please Smile Again(another song she should perform more)

It wasn't really playback because they were definitely all singing, but somebody made the decision to play the cd track along side them singing which is what made the whole thing sound messy. Definitely came out sounding kind of a mess.

I shouldn't have listen to 'NAKED' because it's totally playing in my head. It's addicting.

AI is screaming a lot

I seriously can't wait to see the PV for NAKED, it sounds like a perfect summer song to me !

I'm not fond of that Wonder Woman perfomance either, but Namie looks really beautiful, she's gorgeous when she smiles !

I watched Wonder Woman performance now that my internet works again. :D Namie sounds awesome, but I hardly heard Anna's voice and AI was screaming too much lol. :D

^ AI's voice made me cringe a few times. Anna looked gorgeous but like a few people said, you can barely hear her. :(

At least Namie was pretty consistent. <3

What pv I want the most is black out >.<

It's a hologram... :)

so sexy

^That is amazing.

So I know we're all waiting on her 2011 tour to start, buttttttttttttttttt.

Do we know if she is still doing an Arena Tour?

I think it's time for her to do one again.

She is back on top, and her popularity and diva-status DEMAND an arena tour.

Okay, sorry, I think - ever since I heard the idea - I can't let it go.

I want HUGE performances with props and elaborate costumes, and a huge arena with fans screaming as much as Ayu's do.

I know we already talked about dream songs that she would perform, but just for fun I think it would be interesting to see what people can put together for a set list if this is truly her 20th anniversary tour.

For me it would go:

(1) Body Feels Exit ~ Try Me ~ Taiyou no SEASON Medley (which I know is weird for an opening but whatever)
(2) Chase the Chance ~ Go Go Yume No Hayase De
(3) Walk in the Park
(4) As good as
(5) Don't Wanna Cry

(6) ~ Interlude ~

(7) Do the Motion
(8) Private
(9) Concentration 20
(10) Come
(11) First Timer
(12) Crossover

(13) ~ Interlude ~

(14) Gimme More
(15) Leavin' for Las Vegas
(16) Shine More
(17) Never Shoulda
(18) You're My Love

(19) ~ Interlude ~

(17) Respect the Power of Love ~ Sweet 19 Blues ~ B W Z You Medley
(18) I have Never Seen
(19) Dreaming I was Dreaming
(20) Get Myself Back
(21) Tempest

(22) ~ Interlude ~

(23) Free
(24) Speed Star
(25) Defend Love ~ Fight Together

(26) ~ Interlude ~

(27) What a Feeling Remix
(28) Naked
(29) Never End
(30) Can You Celebrate

Okay so I know this set list is crazy, but it's assuming she does 30 songs again (and did short version of songs like she did in her So Crazy Tour)

This would probably be my dream concert for her 20th anniversary -- What would yours be like?

I like your setlist. I hope that Namie's tour will include old songs.

^ Where r the songs from Checkmate? LOL
And u didn't know this year tour will be ARENA Tour?

lol, wellllllllllll I'm not a huge fan of the Checkmate songs (besides Make it Happen and Unusual), but this is just my dream set. You can put Checkmate songs on yours ;oP!

I knew that it was originally an Arena tour this year, but when she cancelled it briefly because of the earthquake I wasn't sure if that mean't the Arena was being cancelled as well.

Lol. I keep forgetting and then remembering that there was supposed to be a PV for that song -_-" It's long lost now probably.

shush noooooooo >.<

I still wonder what happened to the Black Out PV :bsigh

^I think, it got delay...

^ thats a big delay then.

They probably just won't air it.

If they already filmed it, it would be a waste of money not to release it. YG (Korean company) filmed a video for GD&TOP's "Don't Go Home" and they couldn't air it until they released a tour DVD because the song was rejected on TV. Maybe that's what they'll do for the BLACK OUT music video - put it on a tour dvd, or just air it later.

I made some Namie wallpapers~ If you'd like to use one, go ahead :)

^ Ooh I really like the first one heart breaker! Great colour scheme.

Yeah, I mean't they probably wouldn't air it during promotional stuff. They'll probably include it on a DVD or something like you said.

Maybe they'll even throw it in on the Naked/Tempest/Fight Together single last minute as bonus material.

I like the wallpapers, very pretty! :)

Wow Naked is awesome :luv2!!! I can't wait for the full single :yatta!

thank you! :)

Yeah, it would make sense to put it on a DVD, and it would make almost more sense than promoting it now, anyways.
And thank you! I liked them, I'm not usually too good at making wallpapers :P

I think is too late to call a new pv.

I just need it in my liiiife, they pic looked promising so I nnnnneeeed it.

isn't it already a full song on a radio rip...?

^ she said full single.

Thanks for posting!
Tempest is nice, especially the chorus, but nothing I'll play often.

So the single isn't that great for me.
I dislike NAKED, Fight Together and Tempest are just ok imo.
That's sad, cause I liked Break It/get myself back so much.

Tempest sounds great imo! :heart can't wait for a hq version~:D

OMG Tempest is damn EPIC! Definitely the best song on the single for me!

I don't like Tempest... (>___<) sounds boring...

- EDIT -

Ok now I love it, yay xD

Tempest is very beautiful!!

Omfg Tempest sounds so incredibly beautiful, like a Disney song <3
Gurl is delivering some KILLER vocals!

Glad that she sings grand ballad again...
i'm balladsucker...so i'm happy with Tempest

Tempest is EPIC!!! WOW..Namie's voice :D

(anyway I was just listening to Come hahaha)

Wow Tempest is so powerful...I love it! Definitely going to be a favorite. :) Only about a month until the single comes out, yay!

Now I listened Tempest more times it grew up on me, but I still don't love it

^ I dun know how to love a song with that kind of quality lol
I can't wait for the PV, it has been ages since the last time she sang something "big" like this

Not even halfway through the song and I LOVE IT! :love :luv2 :love :luv2

Love it! but I need it in HQ

Tempest sounds so traditionally, Japanese music based on GACKT's drama

Hm, too LQ for me. But it sounds alright :).

Considering its bad quality, I can't really form an opinion right now, but from what I hear, the song does sound a bit boring, unfortunately. I'll wait for the HQ leak, because I don't wanna dislike it even more by listening to it now (just like NAKED) :P

I thought the same!!! This songs shows her power and range!! Its been awhile since i heard her belt XD

I think the problem is the quality (at least for me)

I want it in HQ T_T I'm sure I'll love it

can it be? ... best ballad since never end?

i think it sounds nice, but i'm not sure if i love it right now. maybe when an HQ version leaks. :P

but i think regardless, i'm gonna love "NAKED" the best out of the whole single. it's just my preferred style of music from namie. :D

^^ YES. :yes

i know it's a LQ but the melody and the vocals sounds promising, for me sounds so much better than Get Myself Back

Her voice is gorgeous in it but I hate the song.

This single is a no no for me.

Get Myself Back has never been really good to me, it's just a "listen n forget" type of song ==
I think Tempest will be much better in HQ.

Tempest is amazing! I can understand why the cover fits this song the best, I think they're going to push this song especially with the tie-in. I love it though, so strong! Makes me think of All For You or a Disney song (as Benikari47 said).

I am also expecting an amazing PV for both NAKED and Tempest!

i cannnooooot wait for an HQ, it sounds amazing in LQ but I'm sure it'll be even better.

I really want Tempest in HQ.

Tempest sounds very mature for Namie. I like it a lot.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjp...sic#from=embed

Tempest in HQ :D!!!

OMG now I really love it ;___; Namie why you so gorgeous!?

Namie's vocals in this song is so strong and full!
Love how she ends the song.. with her soft and vulnerable voice, like [Can You Celebrate?]

Tempest is perfect,awesome,amazing...i love it and her voice is *O*

Omggggggggg I love it

imo I think that "Tempest" is her strongest ballad since "I WILL". Such powerful and uplifting vocals. I wonder if it will be a challenge for her to sing live.

I hope, it's a great song...

Dailymotion won't let me listen to it fully, it cuts before the song ends and the track isn't seekable. Is it do the same for you all ?

i think i like the song more now that i hear it in HQ. :) it really sounds beautiful! i'm sure i'll love it in a few more listens. :D

I´m fall in love with Tempest it´s awesome! love so much!

please, can someone make a rip ????

Just listened to NAKED and Tempest. NAKED's alright for me, beats stuck in my head! LOVELOVE Tempest though!:D

Here is the rip of Tempest from dailymotion
