I wonder why they choosed ALARM, it has NOTHING special lol and most of the time she's not even dancing :/

At least it's from my fav era

^ It's a great song, what's wrong with that?

I'm still mad, I was supposed to be at this concert :/

Both Supernatural love and Alarm are great and dance-wise correct but I don't feel any energy going on from them, I was really angry I only got Ayu concert ticket because I though Ayu will be like in her recent concert which I didn't like that much and Namie will explode like during FEEL tour which is in my top five concerts of all time, but Ayu actually made an incredible CDL and now I see two not so energeic Namie performances... Won't judge so far, waiting for Sweet Kisses :)

^Thanks for sharing!

I dont know why they aired Alarm lol, not only the perfomance is random, and the song is the biggest flop of Namie, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Alarm though lol

I will wait to see the full tour to make an opinion :P

And yes, FEEL tour is AMAZING, its my favorite tour of her

Sleigh Namie

I love her ALARM performance outfit... except for the weird, random, purple tissue thing...

You sound mad.
Exactly this.

sweet kisses is on jps

Isn't Put 'Em Up..Namie's biggest flop?

Looking forward to receiving my Blu-ray despite not being a fan of concerts which don't have a band. I'm buying this for Whisper alone lol!

I never heard alarm before and I immediately fell in love because of this video.
She sounds amazing and her dance break was killer!!!

I don't like supernatural love but when she hit that high note I got chills!

Thanks for sharing the performances!
We still don't have TSUKI?

SWEET KISSES

Sweet Kisses is wonderful! <3

Tsuki not available yet?

In terms of sales you are right, Put' Em Up is her biggest flop, but in terms of position ALARM is, its the only single of Namie out of the top 10.

Love the SWEET KISSES perfomance!!

I've absolutely loved everything about the "SWEET KISSES" performance! :luv2 The outfits, dancing, stage...everything was total perfection, including Namie. :love She was looking fabulous, as always! :heart

I've also loved the "Supernatural Love" performance, too. :)

omg WHAT @ y'all never hearing ALARM before

It's so damn good :'(

It was the song that got me into Namie's music properly
I love it so much

omfg she looks STUNNING

this irl Benjamina Button

Where are these from? I love them!

These are promo pics who got released today since the MV will be out tomorrow!
You can find the articles on google news by typing "蔡依林 I'm Not Yours".

Oh, I though she had only shot those scenes with the red outfit, so it's great there is another great look for the MV! Thanks for explaining :)

--edit--

Oh, just now I saw there was the text before the pics lol I accessed the thread on mobile and it made the text so small next to the pics that I didn't notice it :P

those pics are so nice. I'm looking forward to the pv

YAAS namie! Sleigh the lessers!

I was looking for an English translation of Sweet Kisses but I had no luck finding it. When I saw the original lyrics of the song I realized that it''s fully in English hahaha

I think she needs to study the language a little more haha

ALARM is amazing, it's so underrated.

TSUKI

finally..i've been waiting for TSUKI performance

i found that this tour is a little boring compare to her other tour...

I'm Not Yours MV


And behind the scenes pics with Namie:

Meer Meer on the war....Song is meh, they should've let Namie dance. Namie also looks better than everyone in the video combined lol

Alarm is just too awesome, I mean who can say /kick the lady kick the baby' and get away with it in this day and age?

An edited short version of "I'm Not Yours" with Jolin's solo parts removed:



or https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=851145148257987

The video is blocked.

How is the video blocked there?

ikr how can you even call you a Namie fan if you haven't listened to ALARM!! It's like not knowing SO CRAZY or WILL :shakehead

You mean...I WILL? :laugh

Namie didn't have time to rehearse the dance.

I've just finished watching the "I'm Not Yours" MV & wow...what a creatively cool video! :luv2 I've totally loved it. :heart Although I must admit, being a Namie fan, her scenes in the MV were probably the best things about the video. :laugh She looked sooo stunning! :luv2 As always. :heart But, I thought Jolin Tsai was pretty, too & I liked her dancing, and I even love the song itself, too. :)

I've also just watched the "TSUKI" performance from LIVE STYLE 2014 & what a beautiful performance, it was! :love

I accept that. Mad actually works, not "salty".

sorry I was writing on the phone :tipsy

Covers of 'Scawaii!' & 'Gina' March 2015

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...4.jpg~originalhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...f.jpg~original

Hm...I kinda like the video, I want Namie dancing more. I don't understand chinese, and I never like namie's engrish. Blah...I do like the "na na na na na na na na" parts. Maybe if Namie did like, a japanese solo version with a video where she's dancing, I'd love it lol

The MV is visually flawless, but tbh I felt the part they're standing side by side a bit awkward lol Music wise, the song doesn't move me. It's not bad, it's just not special, and I think Namie kinda spoiled me in the last years so maybe that's why lol

Namie slays and looks spot on dead as usual on the covers. The second cover is giving me rigor mortis vibes.

"Stylish but Ladylike", indeed! :D That Scawaii! cover is simply gorgeous! :love And the Gina cover is so pretty, as well. :heart

Cover of Sweet:

I really like her performances so far from LIVE STYLE 2014, and especially SWEET KISSES : she nailed it perfectly ! Although the song is pretty short, it's really intense, but Namie managed to reach every note.
About I'm Not Yours PV, I think it's visually the best out of those from Jolin's PLAY.

Namie's so pretty in pink, in the Sweet cover! I love. :heart

Dead Sweet Namie sleighs

I've just watched through the entire Ballada DVD, and I'm not very familiar with Namie's works pre Queen of Hip-Pop. But I have to say, think of me is one of the weirdest, random-est PV's I've ever seen.

Now that Namie has left Vision Factory, where will her tour goods be sold online? I know that she has been selling them through a shop on Facebook for international fans, but where will they be sold for Japanese fans online? Do you think that now that she is being managed by Avex, the goods will be sold through mu-mo and end up being sold on YesAsia, which would also be a cheaper alternative for international fans?

^ I think it'll probably be done via mu-mo. Either that or they'll set up another platform to buy her goodies online.

Alarm is life.it actually showed a different side to her music style. Also I'm convinced that namie dances differently during these recorded lives versus being there in person.even my critical boyfriend said she dances better in person in comparison to the dvd.

Woke up this morning to an email from CDJ saying they shipped my Live Style '14 bluray! yaaaaaaaaaas I was kind of apprehensive about getting it after seeing some of the performances they released but I'm excited for it to get here :)

I did too, finally an email worth being excited over. Have to be honest though I will be fast forwarding till I get to her whisper performance.

^I'll be trying my best to not excitedly skip to the Whisper performance!!

^I don't blame you .whisper was one of the reasons why I had to go to her concert in December. Between alarm and whisper it's like she decided to revive some older songs that never got a fair chance.

Side question. Does anyone know where they shot live style 2014?

Wiki says it was the November 6th performance at Yoyogi.

Here's Whisper!!! Watch at your own risk!!

I watched the first five seconds then panicked and clicked out of it... I JUST CAN'T DO IT! I want to wait till I get my hands on the Blu-Ray before I see it for the first time. Only just heard the song for the first time when I got my copy of Concentration 20 three weeks ago any way.

Gahhhhh who gives that sort of temptation ? O_o. I almost watched then said "NO"

But thanks choko. I went to yoyogi on December 11 and that crowd was DEAD aside from a select few. It's kinda ironic that she actually filmed there just a month earlier.

I've never heard Whisper before... :o

^ a lot of people haven't unless you've followed her entire career.I didn't know of it until this past summer where I saw her 1997 tour for the first time.it's been on repeat ever since.

Must....hold out....until bluray comes.....aaaaughhhhhhh

Wasn't she also performing PRIVATE during the tour? I though I had seen it in a setlist, but didn't see it in the BR setlist

Whisper was always one of my favs...probably because Concentration 20 is one of my favourite albums by her (and it has How to be a girl!)

I get you choco.all of these releases are painful. And I don't think I saw a mentioning of that song gustavo. The only songs that were changed through out appeared to be songs off of ballada.darn girl didn't sing wishing on the same star.

Whisper perfomance is everything!! I love it.

Ahhh got my concert in the mail yesterday. Whisper is amazing. So happy she brought it back.

aaaahhhh!!!! I had CDJ send mine to my Tenso address so they could consolidate it with a couple other packages I had waiting there...it kills me that I could be watching it right now if I hadn't done that /weep

Heads up to anyone who uses Tenso, btw--if you want to have them consolidate packages for you, WATCH OUT. Any package that was delivered to their warehouse over 30 days ago is subject to a ¥1,000 "relabeling" fee before they'll let you consolidate it with newer packages. I almost flipped my shit this morning when I found that out :shakehead

It's ok choco it's coming soon.I think you'll appreciate the dvd.she really did a good job with the dancing and singing for this tour.

I wish!!

One of my favourite Namie albums too!!

Can we expect a new studio album this spring?

I guess I read someone saying they wish PRIVATE on the setlist and I misread it. Or simply dreamt it. What a shame, I love that song, it's so opening for a porn video smooth and sexy, you could play it on repeat for hours and don't even notice it

I'm almost done watching Live Style 2014, it's just soooooo good, I didn't even skip Can you feel this love which I always skip on Feel Tour, it actually sometimes feels pretty much like Feel Tour with different track order, I love how she split several songs to insert dancers solos. <3 I skipped some parts at the beginning because I was about to go out when I got it and just wanted to get to my fave songs so I'll watch it once again but watching as much as I saw so far I really love it. Why couldn't I be there, ugh...

Oh, I'm in love with that Whisper performance. It was so fabulous. It was so fabulous the song got stuck in my head now. Thank you~ :heart

just watched my copy...
Grotesque + WHAT A FEELING = best part

i wonder why she doesn't?? its an awesome song :(

Huh? Wishing on the same star is on the bonus DVD tracklist--are you telling me it's not actually on there??? :shakehead She performed it at least twice, once during the September 5th show at Marine Messe Fukuoka and again at the November 19th performance at Nippon Gaishi Hall.

New album pls queen

I first noticed the dramatic improvement in Namie's voice in Rock steady, and really if you listen to her old stuff she has really come along way and obviously worked very hard to improve.

has one of you guys an mp3 of the extra ballad tracks?

Amazing sales

I second this please!

Thank you! :love

Thanks so much for sharing :)

I'm actually downloading the LIVE TOUR 2014 Blu-ray rip...
I download 1 o 2 parts per day, because it's too heavy -___-
I come back in 1 week when I can actually watch it ! lol

Ha no choco it's on the bonus dvd.but I meant that she didn't sing it at the date I went to. Ughhh.and so irksome that's one of my fav ballads by her.

Rising popularity avex girlgroup FLOWER will cover Baby Don't Cry for their upcoming album Flower Clock

:luv2

Maybe a collaboration for Checkmate vol.2?

Curious as to how that will sound. Not my absolute fav Namie midtempo.

Baby Don't Cry is perfect and should never be covered by anyone, ever. That is all.

After several days of DL, I'm now able to watch the LIVE STYLE 2014 !

See you in 2 hours ! ;)

My Tenso package with my bluray is finally coming today! Can't wait to waaaaaaaatch!

edit: It came like 15 minutes after I posted that, lol. I just finished watching the main show and am going through the bonus performances right now--it was awesome! I love how she sang the entire FEEL album (even LMLYG is in the bonus section) and so many of my old faves. :luv2 Rock U was seriously thebomb.com--homegirl was serving so much attitude through that whole performance, and I love ravex so it was just amazing to see it on stage. She totally nailed GROTESQUE too--Hirai Ken hew? :P Ayu take notes; that's how you do a live performance of a song that was recorded as a duet.
