LOL! Don't. I was born in 1985 so I grew up during the 90s. I just dont remember much cuz i was mostly a homegirl as a child & only listened to either SM soundtracks or random stuff my own family had on back then. LOL

Anyways, back on topic, but if it does come out this summer we should hear some official news of release details in the next month or so. JPOP releases are always announced over a month in advance. :)

TLC!!!!!! OMG they are my favorite R&B group for sure! Holy cow. I remember Chilli was supposed to sing with Namie on Put 'Em Up or some song of hers during her Hip-Hop cross-over. It'd be awesome if that collaboration is being revived now!

^Put 'Em Up was supposed to be a collaboration? Holy hell, I didn't know that! :D

Anyone have a translation of Contrail yet? :D

The full HQ version of Contrail will be released on Recochoku on May 19th (this Saturday for those of us in the West, Sunday for the rest of you in Europe and Asia)!

OMG! She looks so beautiful and sweet!! :D :D :luv2 :luv2 :heart :heart

Come on, bring on the contrail instrumental!

I saw that on facebook, she looks so pretty!!!!!
And TLC oooooooooooh!

Can't wait to see the Contrail PV!

And I really hope we get news on the new album soon! I hope it isn't LATE summer, like August. June or July please~!

More album details will be coming out over the next 2 weeks and into early June. Normally we get album details right after her filming of PV's. (Some artists for some reason film their PV's at the last possible second.):P

Namie's next magazine interview will be with 'mina' magazine and that comes out 5/20 [Monday] (Scans always leak early) so look out for it. ;)

NEWS: Sources posted that Namie was filming yet again for another PV today (5/15) but pictures haven't surfaced yet. Stay posted. ;)

haha, seems like we have some media agency insider here =]] Thanks for such sum-up update~

Contrail is ok.. but for me it doesnt deserve a PV T-T!! Namie, please use budget for some potential HIT... not a general sounding song!

A collab with TLC is...interesting, I guess. I'll wait and see...weird combo though, they're not very active musically anymore.

TLC.. talk about raising the dead.

I can't believe the instrumental is about to be out and nobody is friendly enough to post a translation, transcrimation or whatever

I don't really care about the TLC collab, but I guess it's cool? But like... a more current collab would have been cooler imo.

She looks great in that pic with her name on the chair though. She looks tan :D

I haven't listened to Contrail yet... I'm so damn lazy! D:

According to the pic, I'd say it's for a ballad :)

Here are more behind the scenes pics from the PV's. Namie is on the piano.
