Yay for a new thread! I can't wait on how she'll do FEEL tour
Maybe she has a new concept?

My copy has been shipped!! It's already here in my city!!!! I can't wait!!!! :D :D :D :D :heart :heart :heart :heart

which one did you buy? could you make some pics if you get it today or tomorrow? oh please T_T

I got CD+Bluray. Its in my city. However its not actually been delivered yet. I'm guessing it'll most likely be here by tomorrow. :D

However I always take photos of my new items. Just I usually post them in the Post Your New Asian Music, Merchandise Etc thread. I'm thinking of doing a short video this time though. Guess it depends on how I feel. :)

according to this thread:
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...114079&page=11

Namie's controlled is at: 535,651

i dont know how official that is though!

Gorgeous first post.

Is yours in customs too?
Mine says its in some border services agency for review as of 11pm yesterday.

Yup. same. I've been checking every few hours to see for any updates. Just I pray I don't get a charge. I don't have any money til next week. I'd end up having to wait til then to go pick it up from the post office if it does. :/

Tbh it's nice to know I'm not alone. I've checked every single cdjapan EMS order and this is the only time the border services agency 'has' is.
God I hope it isn't customs. Yuck.

What i hate most about customs is there's no way of knowing ahead of time before it arrives if its a yes or no, or even how much it'll be. I think I'd also be pissed if i got customs since i only paid 250Yen on the entire order. However knowing CDJapan, they probably marked it as being the full amount of the price of the album. -_-

Mines been shipped too :yes I'm hoping for Wednesday

Don't let me down CD Japan lol :love

Beautiful thread! :)

My copy was shipped as well, waiting it for next month LOL (slow, slooow Brazilian mail)

It's true, the 469k is outdated...

Love ur 1st post. Tho I think u may need to update some numbers now, especially her total sales are not 27M+ anymore, it's officially over 30M now (according to MS) :P

BLACK DIAMOND has a remix?

Thank you guys! Mine just shipped as well! <3

Oh thank you for the heads up! I just copied the information from the previous thread, i edited it to over "30,000,000" :D

My order is in Chicago right now so I should be seeing it tomorrow can't wait to just blast this album till the cows come home I'm really satisfied with most of the album tracks there's a couple that will have to grow on me but other than that Feel is pretty ace!!

Poison is awesome love it! Will buy a copy when I'm in Tokyo later this July.

Ugh, i'm so scared for oricon.. FEEL better sell more or the same as Uncontrolled!

I think is gonna sell less than Uncontrolled and even Checkmate...

I think this album will sell as much I don't imagine less than 500 k

I feel like it's no problem selling 500K+, in a long run, I hope it out sell Uncontrolled.

Just checked CDJ and my last update was on 7/6/13 at Posting/Collection in Kanagawa (I hope they will update mine soon!! I'm dying to hear the album and see the PV).

*Sighs* my tracking info still isnt updated for my Namie Feel album. I'm guessing tomorrow or Wednesday. Stupid thing UPDATE ME ALREADY!!! *Takes a childish fit kicking random stuff*
I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYY WANNA HEART THIS ALBUM ALREADY!!!!!!! LOSING PATIENCE!!!!!!

Btw, tad bit off-topic, but if I had an order (different one) shipped by Airmail from CDJapan. Is there a way to find out where it is? I got an email saying that order was shipped the morning (Toronto time) of June 27th and it's STILL not here....

My copy is since 1PM "In Customs" at the airport <_<
if I'm lucky I get it tomorrow <3

I'm sure it'll sell 500k+ as well, while it's unlikely i just wish for it to sell more, cause it's light years ahead of Uncontrolled.

I wonder how the Japanese public has received her latest PV's? If they did like it, there is a huge likeliness of this selling big.

I too have high hopes for this album. Been listening to it for two days straight now and it just keeps growing on me.

If i win the lottery on Wednesday maybe i'll buy like 300,000 copies of the album just for kicks. Then start selling em on ebay. LOL

I already lost patience and I'm jamming to alive.
This album rearry has all my summer songs.

If I win the lottery, I'll buy her entire back catalogue

I have all her albums (including compilation & best albums) and only concerts im missing is the SO Crazy tour and the '96 Marine Stadium one. Wouldnt take me much to complete mine. :P

I believe there's no tracking for Airmail. I ordered my FEEL CD+Bluray on Airmail and got shipped out yesterday as well. It takes about a week for it to get here, so my earliest estimate would be Monday next week. Yeah I can't wait either to pop that Bluray on my home theatre system and start the party!

If i win the lottery i'll buy her kid so she has to come live with me. #selfish

Yay! Another fan! :)

I agree Mylo Xyloto was an amazing album. Just the style of Stardust in My Eyes reminded me of something they've done. Specifically the music when the chorus comes in.

(Side note, I actually like Princess of China! Lol :P )

But its been 8 business days (not including Sat or Sun) since it shipped. That's whats worrying me. :(

Maybe it got delayed. By experience, one full week is the quickest I've experienced with Airmail. I hope mine won't be delayed though... the wait is already taking its toll on my sanity LOL :headache thank goodness for the leak hahaha!

I was so hyped for this album when I first heard about it. After listening to the leak in full, I can't help but feel letdown. I don't like the album as a whole as much as I thought I would. I like a few songs here and there (Rainbow, Heaven, Poison, Contrail, Stardust In My Eyes), but the rest of the album is just...meh.

I love Coldplay too!! I think it sounds like Mylo Xyloto because of the semi acoustic with the strings and the electronic sounds. But yeah, I love FREE so much right now!!

Album is ****ing amazing. Only mildly dislike 1-2 tracks, the rest are really good and two are absolutely fantastic.

The transition between Let Me Let You Go ---> Contrail, is kiiiinda perfect too. Just saying.

I will be in the minority but LMLYG totally made me cry....hard

^It's a really stunning song, it's grown on me so much since we got the first preview. Besides the "rearry" parts i hardly focus on the engrish, her delivery is beautiful and she sounds so fragile in a good way, so happy she didn't replace it with Beautiful. That is the only song from this era that i'm iffy about, i liked it at first but it sounds so cheesy now.

I even love Poison now, it's my least favorite track on the album, but it's so good that even the worst track is amazing!

She totally should have gotten rid of poison and put Beautiful on this album... then it would have been perfect.
:yes

*high fives* :)

I think so too. Poison and Supernatural Love are still ehh to me... Don't hate 'em but, eh.

I actually think LMLYG was sang with a lot of emotion (at least for Namie). I really like it. But I agree with a previous comment that said a bit more could have been done with it, but the track is still good as is.

Out of all the songs LMLYG is the one I enjoy singing along to the most :)

Let Me Let You Go is a tearjerker. The song sounds amazing and the lyrics... I feel really connected to it. And ewwww... Beautiful (don't get me wrong, I love that song) replacing Poison... if she did replace Poison with Beautiful then I don't think I can take the album too serious, lol. (The no supplies part always, Always make me laugh)

I love Poison! it gave this sexy badass vibe than the other tracks on FEEL and I love a good sexy badass track :laugh imo she shouldn't get rid of anything well if it's for me I'll say Can You Feel This Love is a good start ;) and just put Beautiful there after Supernatural Love. LMLYG doesn't bother me that much now, oh well lol

^You don't like CYFTL either?! :( It's one of my favorite tracks!

Am I the only one who doesn't like anything from this album?

...did you even expect to?


I didn't care for CYFTL at first...but it's grown on me. It reminds me of some other people's songs.

I'm actually starting to hate a little bit on her Supernatural Love vocals. I like the song, but at the end...just kinda cringe worthy.

I like her vocals a lot with this music, but I do notice the strain everywhere. I hope...she won't turn into...you-know-who.

Top 5 FEEL songs for me:

Alive
Heaven
Let Me Let You Go
La La La
Stardust In My Eyes

This alb is so good i cant even T-T

It's fun at first, but the repetitiveness is getting annoying for me the more I listen to it :( I know it's not that common for her to have such fun song but still idk why I can't stand its repetitiveness while I can survive other such songs.

Yeah, I noticed there's something a bit off in Supernatural Love and it's her strain vocal :( no, I hope she'll never turn into you-know-who

My top 5 in this album exce
Alive
Contrail
Hands On Me
Poison
La La La
with Stardust In My Eyes, Rainbow, Let Me Let You Go following :D

I feel like I'm the only one who really dislikes Hands On Me. The only other people who I've seen that said they didn't like it are the ones who aren't a fan of Feel anyway but I love the album, it's just this song is so boring

my album came in the mail today!!!


so happy. lol

^ Congrats!! :)

Mines in NY right now :) Guess I'll either get it today or tomorrow.

^ that looks so pretty! I can't wait to have my hands on my own copy. Btw I've never bought from CDJ before so I'm not too sure but does "in shipping process" mean my copy has been shipped? It's been at that status for days now so I'm wondering why people here are only now saying their copy has been shipped

I think lyric wise Beautiful is kinda deeper than LMLYG, it's just the same old "oh you left becuse u don't know what you want and then keep coming back, i'm tired of this so i'm outa this crap" stuff in a ballady manner lol that's what i call cheesy xD But i guess it depends :innocent

this is kind of a masive promo poster lol

My copy hasn't even shipped yet; you guys are killing me! :weep

omg I love you!!! thank you for the pictures. I shoudl recieve mine too today! *.*

FEEL is nice, but I like PLAY style more.

I miss that moment when you listen No and you think she *****es someone.

YEAH BABY mine is at Melbourne since this this morning, so its pretty likely I'll get it tomorrow on my birthday. :luv2

I agree so much with this! She always had her dose of Hot Kick Ass song in every album and this time it's Poison

Can you type down the credits for each song? :luv2

Oh yeah, TeamAyu2004 did the album include a booklet or just 'Namie-is-super-shy-as-usual-she-doesn't-have-picture-booklet'? :P

The leaked pictures of the booklet just has lyrics I think...I remember people complaining about it lol

^Oh so it's as usual then lmao. It's always make me wonder why when she's doing magazine shoots she has multiple flawless photos but when it's for her own CD she just wanna do the cover. I only own her CD since Queen of Hip Pop so maybe she had photobooklet in the past?

only one picture and thats the first two pages of where she is covering her eyes and smiling...

nothing else. lol
I was a little shocked at the lack of pictures, but this is my first namie album soooooo...

Okay my mom literally just waked me up with the biggest surprise, my copy arrived already YAAAY! Here's some pics, the poster is HUGE OMG.
And i'm shocked by how amazing Blue-Ray looks, so worth the purchase! The Let Me Let You Go PV was stunning, especially the end <'3

Envying all of your copies and your mailing service :laugh If I had bought it I'd be expecting it to arrive at least in two weeks lol

^Haha i did as well! :laugh It came as such a shock. I'm definitely ordering from CDJapan again, i've never gotten anything from overseas this fast lol.

I never ever received things from CDJapan as fast as that lol I wonder if they've changed their shipping practices since I last ordered... which was like... Days / Green. :P

Been here for ten years now, and the last few years, I've mostly just followed Namie Amuro news, I rarely listen to Ayu these days, except for her older stuff...

But FEEL is really good. Is it possible to buy on itunes, does anyone know?

We had a HUGE storm last night. Flooding, Power Outage across ALL of Mississauga (even no traffic or street lights), accidents galore and its still raining now. Just the power's back this morning (as of 3:20am), so it's making me wonder if this nightmare we had will also slow down the mail from delivering stuff. Worried it could make my parcels take a little longer. :(

Babe, your opinioooooon!:D
For me Hot Girls was in Unontrolled pretty much what Poison and Hands on Me are on FEEL, the "kick" you were talking about, lol. But I'm the only people on Earth who ever liked Hot Girls anyway. I'm so happy to see Poison is so loved, instead!

Omg that's horrible! I hope everyone's alright and that it doesn't delay anything! :(

Hell noooo, i love Hot Girls! It gets my inner diva bumping :laugh

My cd would have been here today if it wasnt for that horrible stork that dumped a month's worth of water onto my city in less than a hot minute.

No way, you mean I finally found someone else?! YOU MADE MY DAY, lol. Like, please, tell me you mimic the moan at the end too, so I'm not alone!XD

My tracking number STILL hasn't been updated since Sunday. U too?

It really does seem like it's universally hated :P Of course! You have to get your sex on for that song

Btw, i scanned and untagged the only new photo from the booklet and untagged it. If anyone's interested:

Poison Heaven La La La are good scissor sisters in this album.

I love Hot Girls too, it's one of my favourite Uncontrolled tracks actually.

I can't even remember what the original Hot Girls mix sounds like because I completely brainwashed myself by listening to the remix over and over again. :luv2 That's the only version of the song that exists to me now but yes, I agree, it makes my inner wild child thrash around like a maniac.

I'm so in love with FEEL, this ******* album is perfection. Alive, La La La, Hands on Me, Heaven, Stardust in my eyes, Poison (omg :love), CYFTL, LMLYG....it's so amazing. BBC is easily the weakest track for me but it may grow on me, who knows.

:yes I love Hot Girls too.

Are there any sales numbers for FEEL
I'm curious

After listening to the album over and over again, I'm starting to slightly warm up to the ratchetness that is "Poison". It still sounds dated imo but it has that "Large and in Charge" vibe that the rest of the album and "Uncontrolled" lacks.

I pray that she releases another original album before retiring. This is two albums in a row that didn't grab me as a listener. But I still respect her evolution in music. Collect dem' ¥'s Namie. :P

In regard to sales, I can't picture this album selling less than 500k. The feedback for this album is insanely positive from Japanese fans to overseas fans. I know it's too soon to make assumptions but the reception for "FEEL" so far has been overwhelmingly great compared to it's predecessor. :yes

guys, I read on jpopcentral this "Has it been mentionned that the dvd & blu-ray feature a hidden PV for Can You Feel This Love?" with behind the scenes stuff. :O

OMG!! Hope its true!!! :D

I don't think so, at least not on mine as i just finished watching the videos and it ended with Contrail, then going to the main menu selection.

Special website http://avex.jp/amuro/?utm_source=dlv...37c18f5dcecb28

@Benikari47 well for Kuu's trick album it didnt bring up the making of stuff unless u clicked on that jewel thing under her eye to bring it up on the main menu. Any chance the menu on Namie's has some random hidden thing to click on?

I'm weeping with joy at the Hot Girls love. I'd never had imagined, lol.
And I really think FEEL will sell just fine, this is Namie moment to shine and she's understandably riding it with all these releases. I expect the same success of Uncontrolled, if not a bit more.

I'm not here for that website, you don't go and drop one of the hottest pictures of Namie ever as a background and then let it be such a MQ mess. I NEED A HQ OKAY THANKS. Ugh her album shoot is so flawless this era i won't tolerate MQ or LQ pictures.

@SoldierofSilence Oh i didn't think about that, i'll check it again in a bit :D

Chinese fans posted screencaps of the secret making ofs, so that confirms it *_*
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2447280613

Looks like it's only available on the blu-ray

Only on the blu-ray??? So bad...this is not fair D:

:D I ordered the Bluray. :D
Just sadly that insane storm last night has delayed the mail n like almost everything else here. :(

The wait is finally OVER!! My brother woke me up, before he can start explaining to me that the mailman was here, I was *****ing at him why did you wake up me sooo early, haha :P

... Namie's Supernatural Love slays every K-Pop song... and omg the voice at the end sounds like Namie from her earlier days.

I LOVE every singe song, this is truly a flawless album. Big Boys Cry sounds the most unique in the whole album. Stardust In my Eyes is an awesome album closer. Namie really did made up for that messy album *cough cough Uncontrolled* but I like 12 songs from that album.

SOOO HAPPY that I bought the blu-ray :) :love

Just finished watching the CYFTL video, it was so cute! Very pop-art and colorful, her smile is just divine <3
You have to click on her nail.. and it turns red, lmfao random but i love it.

For the one's who seen it as well, does the start of CYFTL sound different to you too?

I'm like SOOOO JEALOUS of everyone right now. I got EMS to get my order INCREDIBLY fast and yet thanks to this dumb storm its being held up, so now it might take til Thursday or Friday. :(
