I liked the setlist! But I still hate her hairstyle... I really do.
|
Still think the little dress with the belt is the best one. :heart

|
Namie's the only useful artist in the top ten lol.
|

|

^she always has some of my favorites. I hate stuff that is so over the top that it is ridiculous. Simple but sexy works well for her.
|
Namie style of tour doesn't really appeal to me. So much dancing, nothing really interesting happening in the stage, very normal outfits, not so much gimmicks and stuff.
But I do keep trying to like by buying her Tour DVDs, I think it's fine for her anyway xD |
Quote:
I'm really shocked at this... Top nine are groups, and the best soloist is #10 overall - and it's a veteran... Not even Ayu... |
^Ayu's sales have been terrible this year, it's no surprise she not in the ranking :) It's only for 2012!

Really proud of Namie. She's doing really well..it's amazing to be her fan at the moment~ |
namie's outfits for the tour are really nice! she's looking gorgeous as always. :heart
|
I can't wait to see this concert. She looks amazing in all the outfits (except that medusa hair)
|
Her tours are always pretty similar, in outfits and everything...
but at least she always looks good and not ridiculous. I prefer her tours more for their high energy and non-stop motion. She also...somehow, makes me like songs a lot more when I see her perform them lol |

Amazing concert! It still gets me everytieme how the audience goes nuts just from her smile. And to hear 55,000 people sing never end, baby don't cry, can you celebrate etc...... Chills.

Here's the scores of the songs voted for the Dome tour:
http://namieamuro.jp/20thbest/ They only choose the top 25 + 4 album track from 'Uncontrolled' + Damage Lol! WHAT A FEELING and MR.USA almost made it!!! |
I didnt know Love Story was that popular
|
Namie doesn't need much to look incredible... how old is she again?
|
35 ! but I assume she is a lot photoshopped but well photoshopped it looks natural ^^
This pic is for what ? |
Quote:
Her eyes, mouth, shape of her face, jawlines, chin etc are not photoshopped because make-up, lightings and good photography made her look good all the time. |
I see no photoshop, could be wrong.
SHE IS FLAWLESS |
don't be naive lol she is beautiful naturally so it is not a problem ^^
|
I can't believe Dreaming I was dreaming was so close to get to be performed too. Gosh, I need a new performance of that song in my life. Gorgeous♥
And Namie's photos doesn't have much photoshop on them. She looks the most natural of the three Avex Queens (Ayu, Kuu & Namie). :) |
lately I've been seeing namie iPhone cases in pics around the web
who and what do i have to do to get one? |
wow! that new promo pic is just absolutely stunning! :heart
|
that pic is just epic!!

She's just too gorgeous....I can't even function after looking at that new promo picture :luv2

It's really sad how people attribute the almost magic-like talents of make up to something like photoshop. Not everyone's photoshopped you guys lol. It's just as often decent make up jobs, which.. you know.. is the whole reason make up artists are called ARTISTS :innocent |
Oh, it's definitely been photoshopped, one way or another..but she's a gorgeous, natural beauty. No doubt about it. :)
Photoshop is one of the palettes of celebrity make-up these days, even if it's used just to fix the lighting, or get rid of a stray hair over the model's face. But no one is saying Namie isn't that beautiful in real life. |

The show was awesome! No big surprises for the final though - same setlist. I also doubt now that the final show will be on DVD because it didn't appear like there were enough cameras around to me. So the DVD show will probably be the Osaka one. Also, one more thing I really took note of - Anytime one of Namie's really big hits came on there was a noticeable wave of excitement that went through the crowd (obviously not everyone is a setlist spoiler ***** like me!) but it made me think of Ayu's concerts. I think Namie not always performing her biggest hits at every show is a big plus and creates a lot of excitement for when she does perform them. Ayu doing her big tracks like Boys and Girls, Evolution etc at every show should feel more like a reward/a treat for the audience rather than be something that is expected. Anyways, just something that I was really impressed with at this show and I thought Ayu could benefit from doing the same. Can't believe Mr. USA was so close! lol. I want that performance! |
The concert was really really good! First time I got to see Namie live and she did beyond great. Just like Sunshine said, the audience went totally bananas as soon as she kicked of her smile. The energy was really on top.
The different generations in the audience was quite clear. The oldest generation was naturally most excited about the oldest songs, the amura girls was most excited about the newest songs and the middle generation naturally the half old half new songs. Then naturally everybody went crazy about the given Namie hit songs like Never End, Can you celebrate?, Baby dont cry. Within the new songs (at least at my side of the Dome) NAKED and Love Story got most cheers right when they started. I loved how simple yet effectfull this concert was. She played a bit with the screens (and her old self in screens) lightning was from times beyond cool and the stage was very clean all the time. Really great looking concert. Namie herself was cuter than ever and very shy whenever she came out of her "Namie Amuro" alter ego. Very adorable. I can't wait until this comes out on Blu-ray! I need to watch this soon again! The setlist was really in my taste. Great mix of old and new. She did such a great job! |
^ Oh God thank you 2 for the concert preview!!! Sound awesome!
Hope that they film this final show for the Blu-ray release <3 |
Yay the concert was amazing!!!
The audience went nuts when she smiled and, as SunshineSlayer already said, a lot of ppl sounded surprised from the tracklist, I guess they didn't check it before! She was so cute and cheerful (lots if smiles <3) and full of energy and I loved the old songs' performaces! I really hope that she will re-release them with her new vocals. The SUPERMONKEY'S songs live are superb and, right before coming back on the stage for the encore, the cameras showed her on the backstage with signs where she made fun of herself for not having MC on the live :) Also looking at her previous performances (on the monitor) was confusing because looks like she didn't age at all O.O |

All my money will be gone

I'm just happy people understand what goes into photography like that.
Yeah, it's make up. Yeah, it's perfecting the lighting. And yes, it's a **** ton of photoshop. Whether it's photoshop to fix imperfections, or fix coloring. At least it looks good :luv2 I'm ready to see gigantic ones of those all over the place. I hope they do that. |
brb sobbing english namie documentaryyyy :heart
|
Gorgeous, stunning, perfect.
I don't think she looks younger, which is actually a good thing. She outgrown the baby fat, fixed her teeth, and basically grew into her features. She has never look more beautiful than she does now. |

OMG I Love her.
Sobbed through the news clip and I'm sure I'll sob through watching this. |
she sounded so amazing in body feels exit and damage was my favorite.
I really wanted hide and seek to be performed |
Chase the Chance/Let's go were amazing because of the energy.
Can You Celebrate?/Only You had me like bawling. |
love this anni show, so many "new" songs here
(hehehe, know her since PLAY tour era, so few songs before that only know after she sang in the rest of the tour) actually expect better performance for "In The Spotlight (TOKYO)", too bad she just stand here not much movement, plus she look tired and, no songs from PAST<FUTURE era?? sighzzz... btw, any one know which remix was used before the "You're my sunshine" performance? someone uploaded 15+ performances to YouTube, enjoy asap hahaha |
^ brb getting a coffee IV drip so i can watch that instead of passing out like i want to rn
|
The few performances I watched so far, it does seem to me a bit that she is lacking some energy. The Tokyo show had more energy. So, I wonder if she was maybe feeling a bit under the weather here?
|
omggg such a good concert!
i like how she apologized for never having MCs lol |
After watching the whole show, I feel like the whole thing was too big for her. The stage was huge, but there was nothing happening (not like in the Best Fiction Tour, where they had the throne, the huge shoe, the disco ball...) . Her vocals were amazing though, and so was her dancing. But I feel like she is more comfortable in arenas or halls, she doesnt really "fill" a dome or a stadium
|
The show was good, her vocals were just AMAZING!!!
But I expected more dancing or things on the stage maybe? Anyway it was cool! |

http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...psefab6a18.jpg On BFT we got a throne, a huge shoe, a moon statue, a disco ball and a huge present. But on the other hand, this tour we also got an electric-staring stair, a huge tree, 2 side by side big screens showing her past performances like some fine-art frames, a red loudspeakers stair, together with awesome stage lighting & sound effects! :thud http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps8e522ea3.jpg http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps6515e1d6.jpg Tho I still wish she could have added ALARM, SO CRAZY and Do Me More on this Tour T_T |
I really liked how some shots caught the floor reflecting the stage, it made for a really cool effect. Especially during Body Feels Exit and the parts on the big...scaffolding type stage haha.
|
somehow i feel the concert a little empty as well...
|
I watched the show it was less amazing as I thought but it was far to be bad ^^ the scene was a little bland and there were not much animations, she dance less and less but the setlist was big so I understand ^^ Though her vocal was well controlled like I've already say her voice is too nasally for my ears and for few songs it's a bit unpleasant :( I was glad she sing her eurobeats songs & Girl talk :love !

I really like the body feels exit segment from that little 2 min TV promo.
will watch/buy DVD when tour comes out oh, and I also like the 'tree' segment :) |
^^ I noticed that but still it was cool to watch
|
I wasn't really paying attention to the scene because of the poor video quality of the file, although I saw few moments like the tree or the 20 number but music-wise it was amazing, expecially considering it was TV version. The only minus for me is that I don't know and didn't like quite few of the old songs so half of the concert was hard to enjoy for me, the scene also feels very empty despite the huge decorations, I feel like she could arrange this differently. This wasn't the whole concert, right? Must watch it in HD :)
|
... That was rather underwhelming. I agree it felt somehow empty? She sounded amazing, no surprises there. I know most of you won't agree with this but I don't think she has enough stage presence to carry a huge venue. And another thing is: she's more comfortable in smaller venues and it shows on her performance.
I love her unconditionally and her lack of stage presence never actually bothered me because she makes up for in enthusiasm and her consistent vocals. |

There's HD 17GB version on JPS but it goes very slowly... As long as there's xmas freeleech I'm downloading it :)
|
I didn't watch the concert's TV Version yet because I'm a little bit too concentrated on other things at the moment. I will watch it tomorrow. :D
|
Done watching, still empty and powerless even in HQ but maybe different camera angles will make it better on DVD/bluray, on the other hand the vocal was really good, I'm definitely making mp3 album from this concert :)
Spoiler:
|
^ Like I said, compared to the Tokyo show, this one she seemed to lack some energy. Like I noticed some parts where she really got the crowd pumped at Tokyo, she didn't do at all in Osaka. Makes me wonder if she wasn't feeling well or something.

Just finished watching the concert. Her vocals and dancing were amazing~
The crowd didn't seem that enthusiastic but maybe their cheers were so loud that they had to edit it out xD |
i've watched a few performances from the tour, and i think it's such an awesome concert so far! :) namie looks beautiful as always & my favorite performances were "In The Spotlight (TOKYO)" & "YEAH-OH".

Namie is just an incredible preformed!! :luv2 |
Finally finished downloading the TV-rip from JPS :thud
Such a huge file, but so worth it! When she sang "blow the roof of this club" in In The Spotlight, she sounded like Scooby-doo lol |
