only 4? already disappointed, but I hope it's better than Party Queen!

http://www.wowow.co.jp/music/amuro/

ONLY YOU will be on Air!

The awesomeness of Yeah-OH, Break It, Get Myself back have already over Party Queen.
More awesomeness? All the single PVs released so far for this album are just simply stunning. No trash or addition unnecessary make-up or effect. (If you dislike the simple but hot PV "YEAH-OH", **** you lol.)

I apologize to say about this.

AyuGAME 24th April 2012 05:43 AM

Only You - she sings fully in English?

everlastingRAINBOW - yes, i immediately remember Guilty booklet cover

Benikari47 24th April 2012 05:52 AM

LMFAO, i like "Only You" so far. I can't help liking that 80's disco summer mess.
No but really, it sounds cute and very different from her.. this is definitely gonna be one of her most diverse & inconsistent albums so far.

I was definitely one of the people who didn't like Break It, i thought it was bland and sounded lazy from Namie.
But i've grown to love it, it's catchy :yes i guess i just automatically threw it away after hearing WILD for the first time lol.

pommy48 24th April 2012 06:07 AM

Oh wow! I didn't know people didn't like Break It *_*

I've loved it since the beginning because it's just so catchy...now I have the chorus stuck in my head thinking about it haha

adantatu2 24th April 2012 06:11 AM

I love Break It :heart
I can't believe it, she includes all her a-sides :heart

everlastingRAINBOW 24th April 2012 06:33 AM

^ That's okay; do you prefer 4 new songs or 3? lol

I wholeheartedly agree. :yes But this was expected nonetheless.

"Higher" imo, was a-side material that should have been the forefront of a single released during this era with an accompanied PV. That song deserves to be on the album more so than most of the tracks listed imo. Such a travesty. :(

CoriKaru 24th April 2012 06:54 AM

Mnh.

These 4 New Songs are going to have to be soooo SHARP and ON POINT that when I go to press play, blood splatters everywhere for me to purchase this SINGLES COLLECTION.

I love this kind of Namie hoho <3
Namie has set a new audience record for the venue in Okinawa. Masaharu Fukuyama had the most with 16,000, but now Namie's concert has been amped up from 20,000 to 27,000 audience members due to demand.
Tickets apparently sold out in 5 minutes.

According to the clip, ONLY YOU will be fully in English.
And it's a song for the people who always support her.

Benikari47 24th April 2012 09:09 AM

OMFG AN ONLY ENGLISH SONG.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Her Engrish has been improved. I can understand what she sings without subtitle of the lyrics.

Preordered the new album CD+DVD, along with the single SSWD/LS since I want to have Higher and Arigatou.

~StarCatcher~ 24th April 2012 12:28 PM

I'm very glad all A-sides are included + 4 new songs and PVs that will be an awesome album=)

What we all prayed for ^^

wow. That would be something unusual and surprising. A dream coming true.
I like ONLY YOU though from the preview. The setting reminded me of the ANTM All Stars motion video, but it doesn't matter. It looks promising.

tokyoxjapanxfan 24th April 2012 03:10 PM

I need to get this album. Mostly because I know everything about it will be awesome. Her production team is fantastic. :)

Her English singing voice reminds me of Kylie Minogue, but I'm not sure why.

Was a bit surprised that basically all of her previous singles and b-sides were included! I haven't really been listening to a lot of her recent material, so the album will be pretty new for me.

AyusakiFan 24th April 2012 03:13 PM

The first press bonuses for the album are special packaging (I'm assuming a digipak unless she decides to do something different for her anniversary) and a B2-size poster!

I could hear the Kylie Minogue comparison too ;)

Also, none of her B-sides are included lol. They're all A-sides!




I also had a dream I was freaking out because the album came with a photo book shot in Arizona (where they shot the PV I assume), but that'd be Ayu's GUILTY xD

pommy48 24th April 2012 03:39 PM

I think the PV is shot in LA just like Ayu's GUILTY

tokyoxjapanxfan 24th April 2012 03:46 PM

^^ Oh wow hahaha I guess I'm really out of the loop! :P I've just been checking up on her and listening here and there haha.

I sense a BEST album then..i dunno...what else could she have LOL
ONLY YOU sounds..alright at the moment lol

MissElin_ 24th April 2012 03:51 PM

This album is gonna be pure awesomeness. I really can't wait! 27th... It's like 2 days after I've moved back to Japan. Glorious.

ONLY YOU sounds, "naaah". But that I thought about Love Story too at first and it turned out to be one of my biggest Namie ballads favs ever. :smitten

toniayu 24th April 2012 03:57 PM

ONLY YOU is fully in english??I really hope she's thinking of make her international debut and a world tour too *O*

Seriously, I hate the massive production. Best album for her 20th is not necessary while a new album is going to be out in summer. She has just released a best album "Checkmate!" last year. A new best album this year is definitely no no no no.

Heavenly 24th April 2012 04:38 PM

Maybe this album is just the "Part I" :P
Still hope she'll make a double album this year... To get more new material !

Not Fade Away 24th April 2012 06:57 PM

It definitely DOES sound like 'Just the Way You Are', but I loveeee the fact that it's all in English and that it's meant for her supporters, it gives the song a lot more meaning. <3

melina_t 24th April 2012 07:07 PM

Woo-hoo! And ha, ha, ha to all the doubtfuls thinking we were going to get one next year.
Well, I just hope I'll be able to preorder on time for first press.

Corvina 24th April 2012 07:20 PM

Wow, a new album!
Just 4 new songs is a bit small, but as they're all getting a PV... and it's great for people who aren't buying every single from her. Like me. :D

I don't know how I feel about ONLY YOU, especially that it's completely in English. I always have problems understanding her English to be honest. Let's see how it turns out.

Break It/Get Myself Back still is my favourite single from this era, I love both songs so much!

Haha, well, I guess so. I am just happy that they are being released in this succession (January, March, June) so I don't have any periods of no new music.

I love what I've heard of ONLY YOU. I'm already so excited for this album. I haven't been listening to Namie much at all lately because she hasn't released a new album since 2009 but this has got me playing her music again.

I'm happy to see that Namie seems to have great things in store for her 20th anniversary! The part of the statement "the first album" indicates to me that there may be another album release this year! That would be amazing, especially since it took forever for this new album to come out. I'll just wait and see though before I set myself up for disappointment for jumping to conclusions, lol.

Only 4 new songs, but that was to be expected with her tons of singles over the past 2 years. Really glad that there will be 4 new PVs though - almost every song on the album will have a PV and her PVs are usually quality.

Hm, her English is a bit better here, but I still just understand some parts. It always feels like she's mumbling too much for me.
But it seems I'm the only one. XD

Not a big fan of the song so far, but I'm really excited for the other 3 songs. They said there will be hot dance tracks, so at least 2 of the other 3 new songs are dance tracks, yes!

"Only You" still isn't doing anything for me.

I just hope the other 3 songs are amazing dance tracks since Namie and her team can deliver in that area. Because truth be told, I'm not too excited about this upcoming album. :(

I think I'll just back track and purchase "Play" since I've yet to do so.

Acile 29th April 2012 01:34 PM

Her English has gotten better judging from the preview, although it's still not great enough to understand what she's singing. ^^; The song sounds a bit blah to me, too upbeat and soft. I like her sexy style more.

As for the album, I can't wait to see the new songs! Four is still better than nothing, haha - especially with the PVs.

SunshineSlayer 29th April 2012 05:49 PM

^ I must really be accustomed to Japanese people speaking English then because I can understand it perfectly. :thud

R_Hikki 30th April 2012 05:45 PM

It seems that Namie and her team are really trying to reach their world fanbase judging by the official facebook account and increased usage of English in her songs. It's interesting...

JackieRos 30th April 2012 07:02 PM

^which is awesome

Acile 30th April 2012 08:42 PM

I don't know, it's good to have English parts in songs, but I like her singing in Japanese. If I wanted to hear English lyrics, I'd listen to English musicians... But it's definitely nice to be better informed through her FB page!

everlastingRAINBOW 30th April 2012 08:57 PM

^ I don't really think it's about the language so much as the artist for me :shrug

Not Fade Away 1st May 2012 07:17 AM

^This.

I love the fact that she's trying to reach a global audience, and I don't care if she sings in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, Spanish, English, Engrish or some other combination of languages, she has a beautiful voice, an amazing musical style, and her overall artistry is impeccable, so she can do no wrong for me.

Hell I would buy a Namie song even if she decided to sing the next cotton commercial song. I would probably end up buying more cotton too....

All that aside, I think it's really important/really big of her to try and reach out to her English-speaking fans. I think she's finally starting to recognize how big of a fan base she has in her English-speaking fans.

Now if we can just get her to perform at Madison Square Garden, much like L'arc-en-ciel, we'll be all set.

CoriKaru 1st May 2012 07:49 AM

She starts singing in German, I'm out.

PetiteMonstre 1st May 2012 07:56 AM

I don't really like her singing English that much. Mostly because of her accent. I'd rather have her sing in Japanese.

toniayu 1st May 2012 08:27 AM

I dreamt that she was going to do a world tour...I was buying the ticket for the spain concert and I was so excited ;_;
So much Namie on my head lately xD
And I like the fact the the song is fully english :yes

SKYia 1st May 2012 09:01 AM

Her english scares me a bit, like when she sung 'we sing from the same star' I was like WTH?, what does she mean? and then I looked at the title and went .________.

tenshi no hane 1st May 2012 09:07 AM

^ Actually, in Japanese they often refer to the Earth as a star for some reason. /useless info.

I prefer her singing in Japanese too. Japanese is such a beautiful language imo. But at least Namie's pronunciation isn't that bad. Though Shut Up's "that's none of your bu-si-ness" still cracks me up :innocent

Rocky Raven 1st May 2012 09:08 AM

no no, I'm just saying that I was annoyed by her pronouncing 'wishing' as 'we-sing', without the sh sound :)

Spoiler:
They refer to all planets as stars, the planets nearer earth, that are known for longer all called a star of one of the 5 classical japanese elements...

Mercury = Suisei = water star
Venus = Kinsei = gold star
Mars = Kasei = fire star
Jupiter = Mokusei = wood star
Saturn = Dosei = earth star

The farther planets are called after they western name...
Uranus = Ten'ousei = ruler of the skies star
Neptune = Kaiousei = ruler of the seas star
Pluto = Meiousei = ruler of the dark star

"Sei" being used to refer to the planets and literally meaning "star" most likelly explain why they refer to Earth as a "star" sometimes :P

Font: a big Sailor Moon fandom as a kid + google :P
I don't know japanese through, so, I'm just taking literal translations from the names of the planets and aplying some stuff I know from japanese/roman mythology to it :B

or taken from here: http://discover-jp.blogspot.com.br/2...ar-system.html
Suisei (Mercury), Kinsei (Venus), Kasei (Mares), Mokusei (Jupiter), Dosei (Saturn) are visible with naked eyes, and they are considered as different from stars which make constellation. These Japanese names come from the thought in China. In China, people thought all things are constructed with 5 element; tree, fire, soil, gold and water. Therefore, Suisei is with water, Kinsei is with Gold, Kasei is with fire, and Mokusei is with tree and Dose is wit soil Chinese characters.

Tennessee (Uranus), Jalousie (Neptune) and Meioses (Pluto) are not visible with naked eyes, so they were discovered after telescope was invented. These names were simply translated from English name.


I admit I found some of her newer songs to be on the generic side... But a worldwide expansion explains that, as she can't really try reaching newer markets and listeners with stuff like Dr, that are amazing, but not really easy to listen^^

I don't really mind her using so much English in her songs to be honest. :)

And every time I come on these threads I just get this huge urge to listen her amazing music~ :heart
