She debuted in an eurobeat group called the SUPER MONKEYS comprised of her and her classmates from the Okinawa Actors' School in 1992 with the single "Koi no Cute Beat / Mister U.S.A.". Amuro became the leader of the group, and found success after their cover of "TRY ME ~Watashi wo Shinjite~", which peaked at #8. In 1996, Amuro switched to avex trax and debuted with the single "Body Feels EXIT", with her first avex album selling over 3.3 million copies. Her biggest single, the ballad "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?", was the top single of 1997. After marriage and personal tragedy, Amuro continued to adopt a more R&B/hip-hop based style of music. Amuro has approximately sold 35,000,000 copies in Japan. News Quote:

Nice 1st post!
I wonder if they are going to do YEAH-OH covers...just like Break it/GMB |
Wow YEAH-OH has gotta be the best song I've heard from Namie since...like WILD :thud
& She looked sooo beautiful in the PV :o. |
^nice 1st post =)

It's exactly the kind of song that made me a Namie's fan back then in 2003(like So Crazy/ALARM), and also exactly the song that when someone asks me what kind of artist Namie Amuro is, i would show 'em without any hesitation. QUEEN~ |
She looks -hot- in YEAH-OH.

I don't like "Yeah-Oh" as much as "WILD" but it's definitely her best song (along with "Higher") since PAST<FUTURE's release imo. :yes |
Daaay-OH......Daaaaayy-OH. Daylight come and I wanna go home.
|
I quite like the new single. Go Round is wonderful, it has a very strong chorus in my opinion. I've listened to YEAH-OH once, and while I definitely enjoyed, for some reason I have no desire to ever listen to it again.
|
I'm looking forward to Go Round. I love that track. The PV concept seems to be overused a lot though. But I don't care it's still awesome! :D
|
I'm really hyped for this release. Both songs sound so promising. She's got a pretty impressive collection of tracks already for an upcoming album. Honestly at this point I wouldn't mind another compilation, Id hate to see the next album without songs like fight together, get myself back again and sit wait etc.
|
a link to watch the PV online?

Namie is the queen. She is coming to snatch her throne this year and show the other JPOP acts what it means to dominate the industry for 20 years.
<33333 herrr and <3333 Yeah-OH |

|
Choreography for YEAH OH was really sexy. I loved it, and also the song itself. It made me go "wow". :D
|
Yeah-OH PV > NaNaNa PV
The breakdown choreography is awesome...I'm sure it'll be even better live. I need an album announcement noooooooooooooooooooow. |

And that PV was total greatness :heart She also looked less stiff with the choreo at times. |

the PV for "YEAH-OH" is amazing! namie looked gorgeous in the outfits that she wore, especially the white one. :heart both a-sides for this single are just so great. what an awesome single! :D
|
They should use YEAH-OH as her promo single for an International release. :D
This song would perfectly fit into the current western music vibe. ^^ |
Quote:
YEAH-OH has more "umph!", and I love the choreography. It made me go buy the single :yes |
Her official youtube channel , as well as her official facebook just uploaded 50s preview of YEAH-OH & Go Round

I love love YEAH OH and I love the PV. It's so simple but very nice. The choreography is awesome btw :heart

Namie, straighten your hair more often. D: She has long and pretty hair!

So much confidence here, as if she knows shes one of the sexiest women in the world

^ I love that move :luv2
|
She looks great in the Pv but I didn't like the song, and hated the breakdown in the middle.
|
It's amazing the difference in quality between Namie's PVs and Ayu's PVs these days. Even the production on Namie's music, even when I don't like the songs, is much better.
As far as beauty, I never found Namie to be stunning. To me she kinda just gives off a "sweaty" feeling. She reminds me of a salamander or something. |

I LIKE YEAH-OH but I just feel like she has done much better. It seems sooo...generic?

Like everyone else, I love YEAH-OH. The PV looks great, the choreography is refreshing, and her English is actually some of the best I've heard from a Japanese artist. btw, I'm starting to get the feeling that there will be no album. With this being her 20th Anniversary I can totally see Avex releasing a 3-cd greatest hits or something and it would include all these latest singles. |
^ That's what I'm afraid of too :(
|
Quote:
P/s, alittle out of Namie's topic, I saw Timmy every where in Ayu's new PVs, and that's for me the main cause of her going-down quality, also there're always too much things&people in Ayu's PVs, EVERYTIME, it feels like she's always tried/wanted to make her PV looks like a grand product, and actually it fails imo (example NaNaNa and Return Road) |

I like ayu's latest efforts, but I think the same can be said to a certain extent for her music as well. Namie's recent stuff, even if not all of it is my kind of music, is probably some of the most interesting mainstream pop music in japan right now. It sounds up to date, but still fresh, interntional yet it's not cookie cutter generic. I think most of her recent tracks could've easily been released anywhere had they been translated into the relevant languages and shortened a bit (as j songs are too long for most other markets) SHe's working with different people from across the planet which probably explains it. |

I don't care about a new original studio album or a new compilation album.I think it would be amazing to release a singles collection including all her singles and some new songs,it would be expensive though xD
New compilation album FICTION -2012- *O* 3CD+3DVD I would love it |
Namie should release a remix album. I have been waiting for years for one :(
|
Quote:
i don´t like "drama" ... It's the sad reality Namie's PVS 2011 - 2012 >>>>>>>>>>> Party queen 's pvs + FIVE :) ! |
^ :yes
I'd rather have a new album. We got a compilation last year, I want some more new material! |
You kinda get the sense with the uptempo, dance beat of YEAH-OH that Namie is leaning towards recent trends in mainstream Western music. Everything in Western music either has a dance beat to it or a trance artist remixing it. You have Usher teaming up with David Guetta, Flo Rida teaming up with Avicii, etc etc. It'd be cool if she could do something of the same, maybe make an official amura trance remix album featuring all the mainstream DJs like Avicii, Van Buuren, Tiesto.
Though I can totally see avex releasing a compilation album to commemorate (and cash in) on Namie's 20th anniversary. I don't know how they can make one though, we've only had one album since Best Fiction and a bunch of singles. |
Yeah, I think it'd be silly to release one unless it is more of like a mini album+compilation. Maybe 5 or 6 new tracks (then again, if she did do this, it would just be like all the new singles + album tracks, so just an album with lots of singles before hand xD). But as I've said, original album please! Though I also love the idea of a remix album, I'm not gonna lie :laugh
|
She's managed by Vision Factory though, not by avex
If she does release a best album I hope it's gonna include her older hits as well (like A COMPLETE that Ayu did) and i also hope the songs will have different mixes/arrangements/vocals etc, like she did with Love Enhanched. Still crossing my fingers for a 18+-track original album, or a 2 disc album though. :P:P |
I would be trisexual for Namie after watching Yeah-Oh PV.

You cannot deny the queen! |
I love her look in YEAH-OH's PV. I'm so glad she has such a great stylist to keep her fresh and young-looking.
Ya know, her white outfit keeps reminding me of Ayu's "Haruyo, Koi" live performance outfit... AND she also had red highlights in her straight long hair as well!!! ahhh, nostalgia |

Yeah-Oh light-programming is stunning, btw. |

This might have been said but whose tune is the one from Yeah-oh, I remember Al Bundy from Married with Children sung it in one episode back in ~1994 :D
Btw, can someone please list all of her PVs (and collabs) chronologically, I want to double check if I don't miss anything. |

^ I've been there but it seemed short for 20 years of carrier.
^^ Wow, so many, I definitely don't have all of them xD Thanks :) |
ah thanks for that link! Been looking for a good resource :)
|
I had the "YEAH-OH" PV playing at work on my phone and one of my coworkers walked by and looked at it and said, "JENNIFER LOPEZ!?".
I slapped her. She said it was because all she saw was all of this hair swinging around. I slapped her again. Quote:
Don't forget, they were trying to sell a product after all. Some of it was added in Digitally as well, ergo the "Dr." and "MY LOVE" Commercials. |
OMG, I love yeah-oh more and more, I've been listening to Party Queen and suddenly I just switched to yeah-oh and put it on repeat :V
Do we have the lyrics? There's lot of english, I'd you it in the class :) |
