So............ NEW CM ?!

Awesome if she's getting a CM promotion. Maybe that will mean a new song too... *_*

It's a CM for Nissei Adavance (real estate company), no mention of new song or when it will air...

wow new album and CM! that's very good!

Congrats to her getting some publicity

New song featured in Nissei Advance CM

Nice CM. I really like the song too. It does sound a bit like her Sony music but I love those songs so of course I loved this too already. I wonder what's its name and when it's going to be released... o.O

wow im surprised how im loving the song already. Too much electronic stuff from her lately and this kind of soft pop music sounds very great on her now

the song sounds pretty nice! and ami looked beautiful in the CM. :heart

I can't believe we got a new song, like.... finally

sounds boring lol but yay, new song xD

yeah it's not like it's going to be my next favorite song, but let's wait for the full version

by the way, I think it sounds like the beggining of the song, not the chorus

FRIDAY reports about Suzuki Ami’s relationship
by ustar on November 3, 2011 at 5:36 pm

On the November 4th issue of tabloid magazine, “FRIDAY“, it was reported that actress/singer Suzuki Ami (29) is in a relationship with a non-celebrity man (41).

According to the magazine, the two were seen leaving Suzuki’s apartment together under an umbrella last month. They walked side by side with the man’s arm around her shoulder, and Suzuki’s arm around his waist. On another day, the man spent the night at Suzuki’s apartment after dining with two friends. There are even reports that they vacationed together in Korea and Shodoshima Island in Kagawa.

People close to Suzuki say that her partner is a 5′11″ ‘ikemen’ restaurant worker with an refreshing look. They met through a mutual acquaintance, and started dating around the summer. There are no talks about marriage at the moment.

Suzuki (aka Amigo), who made her debut in 1998, sold over 1.8 million copies of her first album, “SA“. Lately, she’s been expanding her career as a DJ and also as an actress, starring in various dramas and stage plays.

This is the first time her love life has been reported ever since she was rumored to be dating Tackey & Tsubasa’s Takizawa Hideaki (29) back in 2001.

To a requested Sankei Sports interview on the matter, Suzuki’s agency commented, “We let her take care of her own private matters.”

Is the album an actual album or a Best of? =_=

Maybe that's why they tried to release the album on the 21st

Kind of boring covers for how exciting her music's been (mostly) since her last best. More than a bit disappointed in them to be honest. Was hoping for something more like ONE's cover.

DJ ☆YOU got a copy of Ami Selection CD+DVD, she posted pics on her blog...

Oh, poor Ami...that's such a shame. I love her music.

Japan doesn't love our Ami. :'( Oh well, at least it's in Top 50 and not somewhere much worse. Then I would cry. :D

What even happened? Didn't she have quite a bit of success with Supreme Show? After that she had 2 average singles... then did she just give up on music? Or did her DJ-ing stint make the Japanese hate her?

I don't understand... :thud

^ Only if you consider selling under 15,000 copies a success.

This release was bound to fail, and frankly it deserved to. It's just lazy. They could have included more videos too and I probably would have bought it myself.

^ I don't think Avex was lazy to release the album, they remade several songs. Crystal Kay, for example, just released her best album, with no new or re-recorded songs...

Yeah, for a new album in over two years...they could have done way more.

Besides, Ami doesn't even...idk maybe this is just me, but she doesn't really have a super strong presence or identity to me.

Where is she supposed to fit in the world of solo females....in a sea of idol groups?

tbh, I consider it a success because she charted and she was in the top 50. Plenty of other way more talented people that can't say that.

I uploaded Future in downloads:

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2791225

well it's just that avex doesn't want her. like...they did smth with supreme show but then changed their mind.
and what they have with ICONIQ now? she just parties like crazy and goes to 1000 of exhibitions every day and no material for so much time, people already forgot her so much, and next time she releases her best album after her 2 album and some colloba/compilations no one would buy it much

I had my hopes too high with iconiq, and the image and rich pvs, duh. avex probably waits for the artists' output too, don't you think that much depends of artists themselves too...kind of...

Ami is going to be on "HEY!HEY!HEY! Idol Special" which is being broadcasted on 2012.01.09

Suzuki Ami cancels her live in Beijing due to chicken pox

by ustar on February 17, 2012 at 10:32 pm

Singer Suzuki Ami has canceled her special concert for the “Genki na Nihon Exhibition“, originally scheduled to be held in Beijing on February 19th.

On the 15th, Suzuki tweeted, “I’m feeling sick again.” The following day, she saw a doctor who later diagnosed her with chicken pox. Suzuki’s appearance will be replaced by singer alan.

The ‘Genki na Nihon Exhibition’ will be held in Beijing, Shanghai, and Taiwan to commemorate the 40th year of resumed diplomatic relations between Japan and China. On the 17th and 18th, the event will feature a special live by AKB48, along with anime songs, children nursery rhymes, a Japanese drum concert, a fashion show, and a Hello Kitty event.

Get well soon, Suzuki Ami!

Wow... this thread is really dead :/

I think we can't expect anything new this year, it would be a miracle if she releases a new song. You know, after low sales artists releases these best albums there are not many possibilities for them to continue their careers.

By the way I can't find Ami's Shower 2004 -Fly High- concert anywhere! :no

Very sad. I wish she would've just continued making dance music but Avex can't just continue throwing money (however little it may be) when they are getting no returns. It's sad but I think Ami is content with what shes accomplished even if it didnt last long.

It's sad to think that Ami may never record another song again... I personally really loved Supreme Show. I agree with emi, though--she doesn't have a whole lot of presence. Still, she's really cute and talented so I wish all the best for her.

I miss her so much. I guess the only way solo artists can succeed nowadays is by featuring randoms or being in groups :shrug I wouldn't mind a trio with Ami, Mizca and perhaps mini as well :innocent

Maybe she should have stuck with pop music... Even though I prefer her avex songs ...

Takaoka Sousuke & Suzuki Ami dating?

Actor Takaoka Sousuke and singer Suzuki Ami are reported to be dating according to the 1 June issue of FRIDAY. Takaoka and his ex-wife Miyazaki Aoi divorced last Dec while Suzuki had been previously linked to an entrepreneur 12 years older than her last Nov.

According to the report, Takaoka drove Suzuki to a Roppongi club in late April and waited for her to finish her job as a club DJ before driving her back to his apartment 2 hours later. This took place over two consecutive days. In addition, the magazine also published photos of them walking near his apartment and Suzuki wrapping her arms around Takaoka at the entrance of his apartment block.

Both parties' agencies did not deny the report and said that they will let the couple handle this matter.

I'm new to Ami, and I absolutely love her song Ten off of Supreme Show. Better finding her late than never, you know. It's so nice to hear some techno jpop.

Oh dear... Not Sousuke again (the guy who criticized on Fuji TV's Korean drama) - this time dating Ami...
