Ugh I hate floral dresses, I don't know why they're big in Japan. They're ugly as hell!

Whatever, she still looks good.

lol @ the hate for floral prints.

It's supposed to be a vintage nature thing....which namie honestly, does a crap load of.

imo, they're only supposed to look good in context, but people try to make them all fashionable, which of course they fail at.

the cover of common sense is nice.


@nemes: I really think she did one giant shoot back when she was like 25.

More previews of April issue of GISELe:

So cute with glasses & lollipop... :luv2

Bigger cover of March issue of commons&sense:



OMG, she's wearing the Chanel fake tattoos... :heart I always wanted to have them...:mischief

Cute teddybear she is holding, hehe.

And that heart-shaped candy, mmmm... looks so tasty, hehe.

so cute with the candy and the teddy bear ♥

I like the lollipop pic, but her neck looks stubby xDD

Her eyes in the hat / scarf picture <3.

OMG, she looks gorgeous !!!!!!!111
I'm falling in love

she is so hot! :luv2 i'm loving the shoots.

The latest previews are so much nicer! :luv2

is it just me or in the one with the lollipop her neck/head area look a bit strange? she still looks beautiful though. and the one with the teddy bear. so cute. <3

:laugh OMG..

...I seriously love this photoshoot. Can't wait to get HQ scans!

askhf;kafsh;sghj

lollipop picture is so adorable

I was searching for more info about FAKE single, and found out 「Family」 is another song on the tracklist (Family doesn't feature Namie), and the source mentioned a FAKE remix... :)

Don't know if the source is reliable... :shrug

^ Well, we will find out soon enough!

Thanks, Luver!

ooo the mag scans are great <3

every time the FAKE single is mentioned, i think they literally mean a fake single and i get confused and need to reread the sentence again. xD

AI feat. Namie

The scans are love! :heart I really like the heart lollipop one!

I love the lollipop picture :luv2

Namie looks so good in these magazines, I love it :D

thank you, the scans look really great :)
i love the photo were she wears the glasses :luv2

I just realized the commons&sense photoshoot is probably shot by Karl Lagerfeld, b/c he works for Chanel (she's wearing fake Chanel tattoos)... :bshake

Edit: Preview of March issue of commons&sense:

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0431409353.jpg

HQ Cover:

I really admire the Ginger pics :yes <3

^ :yes they're awesome. <3

That's nice!

omg :heart


Karl Lagerfeld? Serious? Why?

very nice pictures! definitely the cover is glamorous... can't wait for the scans ! :)
Her eyes is so pretty on the cover; brings out the Italian in her.

This seems off-topic but I just finished watching BEST FICTION Tour recently (I've only watched Dr/Wild before) I just became her fan recently if you're wondering by recently I mean January or February-ish.

Anyways it was awesome :D Now I kinda understand why people love her~

It was BEST FICTION tour which got me into Namie too. :)

the clothes she's wearing looks like a private high school's uniform :luv2

^ :yes

The commons&sense photoshoot is shot by Takuya Uchiyama, no Karl Lagerfeld... :weep

Source: http://www.tokyodandy.com/?p=12636

Yeah, the source spelled Takuya's name wrong... :eyebrow

Also, it looks like the March issue is SOLD OUT!!!, the power of Namie... :love

Source: http://www.commons-sense.net/news/ar...02/000223.html

omg so quickly....

just what did karl lagerfield and namie do @_@

naughty, very naughty stuff :lech


XDD

^ :roflmao

I was totally thinking that while I was typing......but I'll just leave the imagination part to you ;)

Yeah. LOVE them.

OMG.

:heart

OMG Namie's so pretty~

the cover and the other cowboyhat photos are terrible :no
but i love the one where she's wearing glasses.

What a refreshing change in facial expressions. Coupled with the lack of vocal emotion and inflection in P<F, I'm forced to conclude that Namie is, indeed, a robot.

On the other hand, the scans are pretty. I just wish that someone would be original when photographing her.

Namie is so kawaii with the lolipop ^o^

^lol
That's true but, i love her smile with the COCA COLA ZERO (WILD) CM

forgive her. she can't act.

Yes she really can't act.
One point why she's only my #3 after Kumi and Ayu.
But she's great after all even though the magazines are not that great.
She can dance like no one else =)

Namie is far more beautiful than any of the big artists in Japan anyway, so it doesn't matter if she can't act.

That's personal taste :p
I think no one is that beautiful and special as Kuuchan is!!=)

I agree 100%! :)

Wow I'm so behind XD I just readed 20 pages nonstop.

I'm satisfied with the scans, can't wait to see the hq ones of Common&Sense

^^hmm, this is just my opinion but i think namie is a classic beauty and kumi not.
let's say namie is beautiful and kumi pretty lol. :P

^I agree.

But I find Kumi more cute than I do pretty.

Namie's GISELe scans are too pretty! The one where she's sitting in the blue dress looks off....

wow those scans are fabulous!! and i love the little commercials in the corner (her smile in the one is SO CUTE!!! i was like aww namie! ^_^ lol)

I agree! Ayu is beautiful and Namie's such a classic beauty and Kuu is pretty xD

kumi needs to take lessons from namie, she's a prime example of how you can be classy and beautiful and not be cheap or ****ty. Not that I don't love that about kumi though. :p

Kuu is hot
Namie is sexy (& pretty)
Ayu is cute

^i think Kuu's hot/sexy.
Ayu's pretty/cute
and Namie's beautiful/all of the above.
but that's just me.

I can't wait for Namie's new single. I also want to see her perform~

I hope a new single too.
But one single per year

60's70's80's 2008
WILD / Dr 2009
Break It ?????? 2010

She's soooo slow with releases! XD

Utada is slower xD

i can't wait! A pv would be awesome!

:yes XD

Don't get my hopes up! :P

I really want to see her do a live performance above all else. Sigh.

Yeah her magazine shoots have been nice, but what about some tv appearances?

Namie is starting her 8-month PAST < FUTURE tour next month!! Who here is excited? Me!! :D

Namie world is become so slow nowadays xD
I wish she would have her blog like BEST non FICTION again so that we could know what's she doing atm -.-

P/S:
Btw, anyone here have Violet Sauce single version in 320kbps :( I lost the file long ago. Thanks in advance <3

she's on tour again? woohoo!!
i hope it's as good as BEST FICTION Tour. and PLEASE include some TK songs Namie!!!

Girl, we don't need a cellphone blog to know what she's doing.:lech

It's a hall tour so I don't believe I'll enjoy it the way I did with BFT

Right here:

http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/1...1116.rar_links

I'm excited for her Tour :D I just want new namie stuffs really.

A bit late but just got done listening to PAST < FUTURE. This album is pure gold. That is all.

I hope she'll perform songs of GENIUS2000 and break the rules. Especially the ballads.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN, I WILL, Himawari etc etc. And I hope she'll throw in some other random songs like B w/z you
Oh and I also want her to perform SUITE CHIC songs (Just Say So, please). And I also want her to perform Come again, because I love the song very much.

I can only dream, lol

come again? from which album?

I want her to perform the song "Come", again. lol. :D:tipsy

^I loved the live performance of Come. It made me like the song all the more.

I think Come is an amazing song and it also had an amazing performance :yes I loved it.

aaaaaaaaaah XD thanks for the explanation ^^"

I want her to sing think of me. :\

Truehappiness did we just post that image at the same time then delete our posts at the same time? loool

haha I read "I want her to think of me" xD

I want her to sing Come, too. it's such a great song..

looking at tower and A.I.'s site, this isn't a +DVD edition, it's just a 1st press limited board with extra tracks. crap they will save the PV for another A.I. anniversary release I guess.

Awesome covers lol. AI's best covers yet :yes wtf at her blue hair though lol
That picture of them together is so so cute

Song is gonna be funky :D Can't waittt

awesome covers! namie looks so pretty with AI! :) off to hear the preview now...

edit: omg it's sounds soo catchy! but i really thought they'd show namie or AI's voices in the preview or something. it's just "FAKE" repeating itself, lol. but i have good hopes for the full song!

:thud

I feel amazingness oozing from the song ♥

I don't like the promo picture xD

I hope she performs Come too, I adore that song above all else, along with Four Seasons :heart

limited http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UPCI-9538
regular http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UPCI-5081

I'm glad that it comes with and without the remixes, that way if you like or dislike the remixes, you can buy the single with or without them. Very good move. :D

do you realize both of them are 1/4 Italian?

omg namie's bags. :thud

Hot cover! Hot Promo picture! Hot music! However, poor photoshop color effect :P

That "preview" reminds me a bit of FAST CAR and ROCK STEADY lol
