The tracklising looks good. And IN THE SPOTLIGHT (Tokyo) sounds catchy, I really like the song. :) Can't wait to hear the other new songs.

I'm glad that three of the single tracks are going to get exclusive album versions. I hope they are awesome.

^ Flawless as usual. Especially love the orange shirt pic, and the last one, it looks so natural :)

^she is sooo gorgeous

I'm very happy with the song choices that were made to get album mixes as well as the order of the final tracklist. And as usual, she looks great in all of the magazine scans. This album is definetely one of my most anticipated releases for this month!

Yeah for another Break It version!
I totally love the original, hope they give it some more heavy guitar driven beat like in the last chorus. And if just fully in English...well, then in a good English please.
Namie's obviously going this route, so she should get better with it at least. :laugh

THIS.IS.EPIC!

^That's so awesome!

I still don't like the album cover but that video was cool.

those GLAMOROUS scans are stunning! my favorites are the 3rd & 4th scans. fierce! :heart

amazing :D

my goodness, those scans are the best picture of the year

I have to get a copy of Glamorous, love the bangs Namie :) every time I see her hair it stops me from cutting mine ><

I have no problem finding it :shrug

All those photos are amazing. I love them, she's so sexy uuuggghh. The one of her with the toothy smile is just adorable, while in the first magazine she looks so cool.

Just gonna go be happy in a corner somewhere.

source is at the right corner of the picture.

*It's not my fault...if you can't see clearlyhttp://img.t.sinajs.cn/t35/style/ima...ouxiao_org.gif

she looks fantastic :heart Namie knows how to do fashion.

omfg how the bleep could i overlook it lol. Excuse moi!! Gonna wait for a bigger version of this shoot, because I'm going to make it my "Untitled" coverart, I don't like the original shoot. :yes

*i forgot how childish you were (edit; ARE) :) the source is not linked to every bottom of the pictures, so there, just 2.

The amount of flawlessness in this thread is too much for me to handle :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

Thanks for those scans, they are simply gorgeous!

:laugh I have to agree with you.

I'm waiting for someone to do something epic to the original "Uncontrolled" covers, until then I'm using mine (custom):



(I love drawing on the picture lol, it gives a whole new feel to the original) Big version of the original picture will be much appreciated!!!! :)

^LOVE the drawn effect you did, just not faded stroke and glow you added to the text.
Really nice work though :luv2

^ Wow, I think this may be my favorite Namie fan cover ever :yes!

Love your fan cover, RayJason! Yet another fan cover that's better than the original. :P

Namie is too beautiful

omfg this is amazing!!!!

saved. When the album leaks, this is gonna be its cover.
Anyway, those magazine scans are so omfg-amazing! O.O This woman is so beautiful!

Taking this. Thank you! :P

I started making fanmade covers for "Uncontrolled" a while ago as well. I'm just waiting for more interesting magazine shoots to make more. :yes

so much better & too beautiful :love

What album do you guys recommend? I want to give her a chance.

Holy shaz, that's a lot of PVs. I know that they've basically been released in singles so far, though. tbh I find it kind of cheap that there's only 4 new songs, and that this basically means everyone who bought those singles pm wasted their money but AT THE SAME TIME I DON'T GIVE A DAMN BECAUSE IT'S NAMIE AND SHE'S AMAZING

Hm...despite the lack of new tracks, I'm pretty pumped for the album! I'm considering buying the CD+DVD version...

I know i'm late, but i love In the Spotlight :heart
And i read you dont like Dr. but that song is unique

I tell you this woman is perfect

Flawless :heart

She has such a pretty face :heart

fringe doesn't suit her, really

She rocks the hell of of side fringe though, like in Yeah-Oh.

Amuro Namie...

I wish I liked some of those songs lol

but anyway, good for her~

^ Oh so u don't like those songs? Such a pity, they were and will always be her best works.
I dun like her vocal back then in 1990s at all but those songs are masterpiece, I would pay my all to hear her sing those songs now, with her current voice =)

eh...I can't stand 90s jpop, so, it's no surprise I don't like them.

I don't agree that they're her best songs though, and I doubt you and I would ever agree lol

I just really have issues with the generic arrangements.

^ Some of her oldies were performed in 2003 SO CRAZY Tour, and for me they all sounded so much better comparing to the orginal 90s stuido-records when her voice was like dead cat.

Thank God ! I thought I was the only one who doesn't like those songs lol
I didn't even dare saying that I don't like them haha ... was afraid to be crucified >_<

Love all these songs, good for her.
She's comeback much stronger each year and the new album would be epic.
I almost screaming after listen to In the Spotlight (Tokyo) :lech

Well I used to dislike her old songs a lot before. But when I actually decided to try out all her older albums, they completely grew on me. I can surely say that I think SWEET 19 BLUES is one of her best albums. It took really a long time until they grew on me though, and I remember thinking "This sounds so outdated and terrible", but I know how wrong I was today. If you give it more chances, you can get to like anything, really. If nothing, that's what music has taught me.

Personally, I know anything CAN grow on me. But I really don't like it when I have to let something do that.

I prefer songs that just instantly click with me. Like YEAH-OH.


@heavenly: there's a good amount of people who feel this way I think ;) never have any worries.

The music video for "In The Spotlight (TOKYO)" will premiere tomorrow, 7.30am - 8.00am, on SPACE SHOWER TV's NEWS CUT.

The director is the one who directed 『FAST CAR』 『The Meaning Of Us』 『LOVE GAME』 『Get Myself Back』『Break_it』 『Go Round』『UNUSUAL』 & 『Make it happen』

^ sweet!!!!!

Not sure if this has been mentioned but here in Japan, Youtube is using the live painting, as well as the soccer commercial, as the commercials before videos start. :)

Just noticed the live painting one today, but the soccer cm has been since maybe a few weeks ago? Her team is making efforts at promotion, which is really nice.

i totally can't wait to watch the "In The Spotlight (TOKYO)" PV! :D

me too! i can't wait to see it! :)

Really....everything she (and her team) are doing this year is just perfect :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

I need those iPhone case...and that iPad case *_*

^Me too, even though I don't have an iPhone or iPad :laugh

Post TK Namie is one of my favorite pop artists... But IMO (and don't crucify me for that), 90s Namie is just a TK avatar on high boots and short skirt... I don't really feel her on her works from back them...

I want the phone case I WANT IT

Seriously lol, I feel so spoiled thnx to her FB.. before was it always a miracle when we got Namie pics that werent magazine ones :laugh

Thanks to pAiZaLa@JPC ;)

Everything looks so cool so far!

i really don't like In The Spotlight

Edit: after listening to YEAH-OH countless times, I was able to hear something like "love like you can't breathe"
Now I feel good :)

Namie has finally stepped up her game <3<3<3

The production for this Mv was awesome <3<3<3

Ha! If you notice the Tokyo's signboards are packed with namie's CD cover

I don't think it's even real billboards (or whatever you called them)

one word:
Photoshop

And Recochoku Chaku-uta Weekly Chart No.1 is ONLY YOU - Namie Amuro
http://i.imgur.com/yedPW.jpg

I have such a love hate relationship with that song lol

Anyways, she's so gorgeous.


I'm just pissed off that, there were so many times in the shots where she was alone, where she could have got down and did a badass dance to show how awesome she is...but she just stood there.


I can't unhear this song though omg.

of course I knew that was photoshopped :lech people will took tonnes of pictures if they were real

Some parts are really nice but I dont know if towards the end, I still love it as much. The PV is really beautiful but I dont like how the camera on Namie jsut pans LEFT and RIGHT just to create some movement LOL..they could have done with more perspectives. it'll be cooler and I wish Namie had more dance moves but oh well, overall still nice to watch n hear :)

God.. just when i thought i couldn't stan for her more, she goes on and release this.

That video gave me EVERYTHING.
Lights, Energy & Namie looking better than ever.. THAT RIGHT THERE HAS INTERNATIONAL POTENTIAL.

Seriously... wow :luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2

Oh and i'm redoing most of my Namie covers so it can look nice on iTunes. Here's one i just did for Past<Future which imo fits the album much better than the official. Well the darker/futuristic side at least.

Spoiler:

http://i47.tinypic.com/5n69vq.png

you sir, are amazing :heart


oh im also happy with the whole "international potential" thing <3 I can see this video played around here very easily.

oh, the HD has been up at kmc and jpopsuki for a while~~


links at kmc are really annoying. beware.

I don't really care about the song, it's okay :)
I just want the new album to sell good for Namie for now
I love this woman

I don't like neither the song or the PV. Mainly because it feels very uncharacteristic from her.

Amuro is ALL over Tokyo right now!! It really is amazing how artists can have new peaks

I think Namie is losing her energy. What I love about her in 2008 has gone. Or maybe it's just me...

What kind of energy she had in 2008?? lol Do Me More & Sexy Girl?

i kind of like how it makes her face look smaller

eta: christ that made me sound so shallow

i'm scared to listen to in the spotlight because i don't want to hate it before the album drops. i really love the singles she's released so far, so i don't want to jinx it by having the first track be something i think is total shite 8c

w/e i think i'll just get over it eventually

i really like how namie's people are using facebook to reach out to her international and her japanese fans. it's very smart, promotion-wise imo. plus they're recognizing the very real fact that she has fans all over the world and they're giving us information that would otherwise be hard to come by. i also feel spoiled lol but it's really a blessing, tbh.

Im really liking everything that she is doing right now!!
The album looks like it will be amazing!

Although... In the spot light... is it just me or the vibs coming off that song sound like it would fit perfectly on Madonna's Ray of Light album....
And she kinda sound like her too!

might i say that this is her BEST PV since WAF? YES I MIGHT!
SUCK ON THIS WANNABEQUEENS!!

I like the song :D and the PV is cool!

Well she is driving an Aston Martin in the new PV, so how can I not love this PV? :heart
I really like the PV, it's awesome!

I do wish that they included some epic Namie dance scenes, but other than that, it's awesome :heart Did I already mention she's driving an Aston Martin? :laugh

Well IN THE SPOTLIGHT is just okay. The chorus is kind of catchy, but the verses are kind of dull. I will say her English is quite good in this one though. I can actually understand what she is saying.

I hate that she isn't dancing in the MV
