^こちらこそ...

i love the bridge part...

That pic of Namie is really pretty :luv2!

Tempest sounds beautiful! It's so powerful & emotional! Thank you for the link!!!

only one who doesn't like tempest woot woot

thAnks a lot AyuGame !!!

The build-up epic sound kind of reminds me of 'Ever-Free'

thank you ^^

I really can't wait for this 20th Anniversary Concert....I am so effing excited!

I don't think I've been this excited about one of her tours before -- well maybe best fiction, but yeahhh.

Tempest is so beautiful :heart

I found kanji lyrics of Tempest here (they're not official, but they sound correct to me).

edit:

Tempest (translation)

Tempest sounds better in HQ.
I really like it now! :heart
Yay, one song at least!

the lyrics are extremely beautiful but the song.. meh :shrug I don't like it.

^I also don't like it...

Tempest is my favorite song on this single, officially! :)

As a Namie ballad, Tempest sounds great with her vocals. But as an overall ballad it's nothing worth writing home about in my humble opinion. However, I still prefer this single over Break it/Get myself back.;)

I'm not feeling this song "Tempest" too boring...

okay, so a few more listens later....i think i love "Tempest now". :P i'm so curious to see the PV for it & the PV for "NAKED", as well. i hope they'll be available soon!!

I really like Tempest, it's the first really powerful ballad I've heard from Namie in a long time, and imo best ballad since I Will, wonder what the pv will look like, her vocals are nice as well :D Now that we've heard all 3 songs I'd have to say my ranking goes like this

1. Tempest
2. Fight Together
3. Naked(Maybe the pv will change my opinion, and HQ audio as well)

this is gonna be a really nice single, my least favourite is NAKED

Can i ask..what does Tempest mean?

^ it means a violent windy storm. Which makes sense when you read the translation XD
I love those lyrics, sooo beautiful! :luv2
yesss! new initiate!

<3 I Love the 3 songs of the new single, but i need a real rip of them!

I think my favorite is Fight Together, but I still enjoy all the other songs on this single as well.

Wow, Tempest is seriously beautiful x_x Good job Namie :heart

My favourite is Naked <3

I like:
1. NAKED
2. Fight Together
3. Tempest ♪

NAKED PV Preview Pics:

^Not even NAKED ? :D
I can feel a fierce PV coming !

I want NAKED PV right now..!

OMG A.A!!!

i made some lower-quality caps

omg namie is looking PERFECT. :luv2 i wanna see the PV right now! :scry

here's the PV preview on YT:

ah, Namie's looking good as always. i love the flag scene. :)

"Tempest" is a really pretty song too.

Wow! Tempest sounds so beautiful!!! She sounds amazing in it!!!! :luv2 Her strongest ballad in a long time :luv2 :luv2

The PV looks pretty cool. Not quite the amazing WHAT A FEELING-esque video I was expecting because of the heavily electronic instrumental, but cool nonetheless. I want her next album NOW.

Which performance is that ayu pic in your sig from?>

^It's from her current tour, POWER of MUSIC.

That PV looks good,though I was expecting something more... summery !

she looks beautiful, the preview of the pv looks good

this is going to be one of the cases where I like the pv and not the song :laugh


I can't get over that annoying gamey music in the background.

The PV looks fierce. And she's looking great as always lol.
I love the flag scene though :heart

SHE LOOKS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg *dies*

I think now is a better time than any to pull out the Namie flag!

Another preview (more Namie with flag in it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX7ex...ature=youtu.be (don't know how to incorporate the video in here, can someone teach me?)

^ u can add the code of the vid(the code behind = in the full link, for example, according to ur link, the code would be JX7exdwxIPE) in here [youtube] ===>

I LOVE her outfits in the PV previews! She looks great!

BTW it said that it took 17 and a half hours to film the pv! That's quite a long day xD

She looks gorgeous in the PV previews :heart

My translation of NAKED is up on my LJ.

love her looks but not so much on the dance movement

I still dislike NAKED pretty much, the melody doesn't blend well with Namies voice and the vocals at all and it's almost the same melody over and over. >_<

But the PV preview does look nice so far. Though the dance movements are a bit bland.
Ok, in the first PV preview posted the dance moves look much better!

the other PV preview is still so amazing. i seriously can't wait for the full version to come out! :cool

edit: here's another PV preview:

Anyone else get a huge Robin Hood vibe from this part?? The clothing works so well haha.



The woman says in the video that the concept is "resistance", which also is reminiscent of Robin Hood haha.

Does anyone have the new "NA" logo? i saw it somewhere but don't remember where..

when the full PV will be release, I want it now... (´Д` )

I'm not that into the new songs of Namie=( they are okay though...

I think the PV preview instead looks nice.

I think Namie in the green outfit looks very similar to Kumi in the TABOO PV outfit where she was in bed with the other girls!!!

i loveeee it, she looks phenomenal. Can't wait for the full version.

EDT: @tenshi no hane - Thanks for the translation!

dance moves are bland? pffft you trying dancing like her.


I love the orange outfit, it looks richer in the making of ehheh

That's hot :luv2

I LOVE IT!

WOWOW I love Tempest, like fully love it, and Naked is growing on me slowly but surely. I just can't get into Fight Together.

I need the Naked PV in my life ASAP

Benikari47
I love your cover! much better then the original :)

Benikari47 - wow..that's cool

This single is giving me life. Tempest is freaking LOVE. I can't wait for the HQ.

woo, this cover is so hot *sweats*

I love that cover

That cover is amazing :thud

OMFG :thud

fierce namie!

wow I love the new magazine!!! :D she looks sexyy

beautiful. :heart :heart :heart

getting more excited for this single now that I've heard a decent preview of Naked. <3

I think, Amuro Namie's NAKED (full) PV already aired...?

hahaha that made me crack up. So true though, I wouldn't be able to do HALF her dance moves. I was reading somewhere that Yamapi couldn't keep up with her dancing during 'Unusual' and that he took longer to learn the routine hahahaaa.

Really?! I'd love to read where you read that about Yamapi. I totally believe it cuz we all know Namie is a badass when it comes to dancing.

lol well the original article was all in Japanese (I don't really remember where I read it) but a rough translation of it was that when the two danced together, Yamapi surprisingly could not keep up with Namie and people were surprised because they figured since he's had so much training with Johnny & Associates he would be able to keep up haha.

LQ version of NAKED PV:



Love the symbols they put in.
And dislike the peach dress so much.
It's a shame Namie is recycling so much with her dancing, she can do awesome choreographies.
The PV is ok overall.

She looks gorgeous in the PV. :yes

Couldn't hear the song but I loved the PV. <3

The PV is boring (nothing new) and the song still sounds annoying :S Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to listening to all the new songs in HQ :yes

video is ok.

personally i find all of her upbeat videos to be pretty similar recently. her ballads are the videos which interest me the most. so im looking forward to tempest. :)

the pv is boring...

going to wait for hq to see if it's "boring" pfffft

Ugh, those people. I'd rather wait.

WHERE IS THE NAKED PART?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? D:?!?!?!

ahhh, i love this PV so much!! :heart the outfits, setting, and just everything was perfect for me! i'm sure it'll be much better in HQ, but for now i'm happy! love the PV. :D

I didn't think it was boring, but whatever. That might just be because I love seeing different outfits, dancing, etc. Obviously the people talking over it was annoying, so in HQ it'll probably be better.

The "NAKED" pv may be one of the best of Namie's dance videos that I've ever seen. The director payed a lot more attention to detail when it came to capturing symbolic images and not just dancing. The choreography in the verses and instrumental breaks were also unique compared to her past videos so overall, I am very pleased and it's not even hq! Amazing.

Can someone tell me what the symbols are in the PV lol! Its a really Namie eye-candy-esque MV to me :)

i'm going to wait for a high quality video =)

^amen brotha

I concur.

But oh my gosh, those people talking were super annoying.

I've seen more inspiration in her past PV choreography, which sadly ended after Hello PV in my opinion.
Other than that, Namie looks hot.

^gosh..they are breathtaking!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE your Tempest cover

The covers are gorgeous. I love the middle and the last one.
