LOL! ^o^

Best song used in weddings.

oohh..thanks for telling me...
it's suit if we use can you celebrate
i'm agree

I love the Woofin' Girl scans.

looked through the scans... of course namie looks hot, but i just feel like double had a crapton of makeup on and its just too much... namie, on the other hand, looked very fresh and the makeup looked tasteful

Are you sure that tracklisting is confirmed? I thought it was just preliminary and that the order of the songs was subject to change. :O

^i hope not as well!!!..

A new Best Album? I'm behind. :laugh
And two more new songs...what funny titles. :roflmao
Can't wait for the release.

I need to watch "That's Cunning".

I've only seen a clip and Namie was adorable in it. The white cat~ lol and the bath scene... wtf?

So, could someone tell me a bit more about "That's Cunning"?

Ceiling cat :innocent

imdb:

I find it so interesting how she's afraid of acting, yet she can act so well on in music videos. Of course, her shyness does show sometimes, but... I guess acting like "you" is different.

I found those photos today, they are from a mag called Gougai:

Yeah I really wish she would do the odd acting job once in a while.

Didn't Namie star in some dramas early in her career too?

^dunno but i wouldnt be surprised... back then, she was pretty much an avex toy.

Does anyone know what this is?

It looks like it could be some form of sheet music to me, maybe for piano. :shrug

Piano musical notes of those songs.

^so u mean sheet music for all of those songs?

So cute.
I really love the wedding dress.

Thanks.

She looks nice in that wedding dress, is that photo from her own wedding?

^I believe so

Wow how did I miss those pictures <_<. Yeah they are from her wedding, the picture at the bottom right is her sister.(the guy might be sams brother but I'm not too sure)

I thought it was her in the wedding dress and found it cute that the little boy (I assumed her son) came up to her.

Aw, how beautiful Namie looks in that wedding dress. The little boy is adorable :laugh

I can't wait for the ViVi scans.
Maybe I should buy that ViVi issue? (Namie + Ayu) (well, Namie on the cover and Ayu's famous Deji Deji thing)

I swear, Namie looks 10 in those scans.

SAM could be her freaking dad afls;ajfa. I guess Namie was really mature or SAM just likes them young.

^Your conclusion?

Can't wait for the covers of the album, hopefully Avex would make her look sizzling :D

Probably a combination of both. SAM just creeps me out period though. He looks like a skeleton and Namie is a goddess. I just don't see how they were a couple, especially since she was SO young when they actually did get married.

Yeah, hopefully they don't sit her on top of a barrel eating fried chicken with grease all over her face :laugh

Is SAM a member of TRF...?

From Japan Zone:

J-pop princess Amuro Namie (30) is to perform at the upcoming concert for shareholders of major record label Avex. The June 22 show at the Saitama Super Arena is described as the biggest ever by the company, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary. In fact, with Sony's event being attended by about 7,300 people, the 20,000-seat arena show is probably the biggest by any music company. Held each year after the annual shareholder's meeting, the event was held at the Tokyo International Forum for the last seven years. It usually features the label's top stars, such as Hamasaki Ayumi (29), Koda Kumi (25), and Otsuka Ai (25). But Koda has had a bit of a difficult year and Hamasaki has the Osaka show of her national tour on the same night. So Amuro has stepped in to headline the show. It's her first appearance in eight years and she is long past the heyday of her popularity when she was the first singer to be dubbed a "pop princess" in her teens. But she had some success with a recent single, has a greatest hits album coming out on July 30, and a 15-arena tour starting on October 25

^thx for the news~ 20000? ok its a big show~

and question here~ where did she performed when LV2006?? i mean which staduim/arena?

Yeah.

Cool! Go Namie! <3

if i'm not wrong in yoyogi arena

^and how many audience are there usually?

that's i dunno.. maybe 25.000

Wow looks like Ayu isn't going to many Avex meetings this year. Great for Namie though, I hope she sings some new songs. :3

Yes, you didn't know?

Too bad Ayu and Kumi won't come.
I really hope Namie's performance will kick ass and I wonder what song she is going to perform, maybe Sexy Girl or Do Me More?

:yes I agree.

ANOTHER ARENA! gosh she is fit haha

"...she is long past the heyday of her popularity when she was the first singer to be dubbed a "pop princess" in her teens. But she had some success with a recent single..."

Okay, I agree with the first part, but "some success"? SOME? Namie frickin' redefined herself to the general public with that ish. :O Or, just, I don't know, got MASSIVELY popular again, to say the least.

Well there were no avex meetings this year lmao.
The last one was last year and she did attend.
She just won't be on a-nation this year (namie won't be there too right?)

But ayu has a tour date on the same day, why kumi can't go? x_x

It's great that namie will be there!

What Namie CDs should I buy?

I'm planning to buy CSCEIM/Ningyo CD-only version. And, maybe STYLE?
Or should I save it for the new BEST album?

And another question: How many 8cm singles does Namie have?

I think the CD + DVD cover looks better.

Probably should just wait until the upcoming best album. Then hopefully she won't release a new single anytime soon so you can save up for her past albums :yes

Gawds, Namie is hot. Who would go lesbo for her? Bi? Whatever. :P

I'd go straight for her. I think I honestly say that everytime I watch one of her videos too. Girl is GORGEOUS!

I want to see the covers so bad. I know she'll look gorgeous. Does anyone know if a poster will be included when you buy it anywhere?

I'd go straight for Namie, she's hot, she's on eof the only women on my wall...Koda being the other...lol

I'd go lesbo for her. :yes

Get 181920! Namie's work in the 90's are :heart

Her 8 cm singles are...
body feels EXIT
Chase the Chance
Dont Wanna Cry
You're My Sunshine
Sweet 19 Blues
A walk in the park
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?
How to be a Girl
Dreaming I was Dreaming
I HAVE NEVER SEEN
Respect the Power of love
toi et moi
Something about the kiss

She has 13. 15 if you count Stop the music and Taiyou no SEASON.

^ You missed out TRY ME ~Watashi wo Shinjite~ and PARADISE TRAIN. It was her solo after all. I didn't know what the other members of the SUPER MONKEYS did.

^ Ohh right thanks for reminding. The SUPER MONKEYS were great backup dancers :P

They were better in MAX though. MAX = <3. I wish they'd come back. :weep

Does anyone have scans for Namie's Chase The Chance? I was browsing her cover art and something about the images really struck me (I'm talking about the one other than the CD cover).

Yeah, CDJapan has the new album listed as "New BEST album (Comes with B2 poster)" or something along the lines of that.

^ YAY I cant wait to buy this, it's gonna be my first Namie Amuro CD :)

i feel lucky not to buy her filmography 2001~2005 when i was in singpaore cause i'm getting this best album and all the PV are there too^^ and plus some new song~

Thank you.

I really want the new album!
I hope the covers will come out soon.

MAX :luv2

I wonder if Namie would ever do reunion show with the SUPER MONKEYS. I would love to see songs from DANCE TRACKS VOL.1/Original Tracks Vol.1 performed :cry

omg if DANCE TRACKS VOL.2 were to be released..:thud:thud

I'm pretty sure Yoyogi has space for 10500 up to 12000 people.

WOW thats a lot of room

No. No no no no no no.

That is the worst album I have possibly ever heard in my LIFE. I bought that CD 7 years ago when I was first getting into Jpop, and I thought it was a Shiina Ringo CD; and after I heard it I swore off Shiina Ringo for the rest of my life (I REFUSED to touch anything that had her name on it) until this year when I found out it was actually Namie and that Shiina's actually really good. It was that horrible of a CD.

Haha. But that is only my opinion, I suppose. :laugh If you like it, fine and dandy. :P I'm sure others do, too. :D So if she ever does perform them I'll cry in sadness, but I'll be laughing because I know you'll be over there crying in happiness. And then I'll be happy because you had a wish come true. :)

^ LOL. but are you talking about DANCE TRACKS or Original tracks! There is a difference :]

Namie would be way too shy to perform songs like "Mister U.S.A." again anyway :P

^^Oh, it was Original Tracks Vol. 1. That's the one I have. Though they have some of the same songs. Aren't the Dance Track songs all remixes (not just of Original Tracks)?

Haha. But yeah, I suppose it still would be funny to see her sing songs from back in the day. XD

I really hope that this will be a kick ass album.
And I also hope that the promotion will be like Ayu's A BEST II, beeeecaauuuuse then she will perform old songs again :shimmy

Yes she would.

maybe she will do a collaboration with MAX someday like she did with many others?

i thought she will done sth like that fr her best album... but no~ too bad

maybe she will do some collobration with MAX when she's 20th anniverssary?

Maybe she will collaborate with... Ayu? on day?

NamieXAyuXKuu

That collab would be awesome sauce. :yes

^LOL, we once talked about that :laugh
It was so fun.

The single was called N.A.K.ed and austin made an awesome cover :laugh

Yeah I heard about that before I even joined this place. :laugh

Where can I find the thread for it? :)

I don't know. I believe it was the 19th thread or something.
But I really don't know.

Well the 20th anniverssary of SUPER MONKEY's is in 2012...so maybe then. So far away :thud I'm hoping for Namie's 15th anniverssary as a solo artist or something.

OMG! Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!! :luv2:love:luv2:love

That would be like, the best suprise ever. Dance Tracks Vol.1 is seriously one of the best dance albums ever. And their live performences?!?! Amazing. :luv2:luv2:luv2

I love Original Tracks too, but there were some iffy songs on that.

what it looks like? :innocent

HAHAHA, I LIKE THE WAY YOU GAIZ FINK.

AND THE SUPER MONKEYS' SONGS WERE SUGOI. STFU.

Like those Frech girls Jack drawed in the movie Titanic :innocent
You might ask austin :laugh

EDIT: When I listen to RESPECT the POWER OF LOVE I always get a Christmas feeling XD

NEW ALBUM TITLE = BEST FICTION!!!
Sounds pretty cool!

LOVE ENHANCED ♥ single collection
BEST FICTION

Coincidence? :O

Anyway, the title sounds cool, but I don't understand why she chose that title... o_o

is that confirmed? sounds really good! thx for sharing!!

best fiction.... lol

edit: looks like its confirmed~ yes i'm going to get this one for sure

I made a dvd rip of BLACK DIAMOND..I will post in Jpopsuki..

and WOW for the album's name =)

PLEASE TELL THAT IS FAKE! I TOTALLY HATE THE NAME! IT'S AN AWEFUL NAME! (personal opinion).

Maybe it is because I'm in to Stargate and Star Trek *:smitten* but BEST FICTION makes me think of a space ship.

I absolutely hate the name.... :puke Ugh, what a lame name. (still personal opinion)

Okay I'm done...

Thanks.

BEST FICTION!?

Why FICTION? :shrug

^Yeah, I still wonder that too....

What? BEST FICTION? Sounds... weird.

Why dont u just wait n C !?!
Talkin' about Love ENHANCED album, I have the feeling that the song in Best Fiction will be REMADE like the songs on that album! We can Hope !

I have no other option except from wait & see =P.

All of the songs in Love ENHANCED were remade? x_x

EDIT

I got it and listening! Some of the remade songs sound better than the original ones!

the title sounds cool to me, lol. i hope the covers are just as good.

Fiction: An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented.

lol, namie is telling us that the music she's doing for the past 6 years are unrealistic and fake :P :P

For my opinion...you know when she started the r&b/hip pop style she became cold and cool...that's the fiction since she is a very shy person ^^

:thud

:laugh

Or she some kind of alien send by the Ori to convert us all into Ori worshippers and that her music is actually the Book of Origin.

0_______________0 That means Namie is Adria... :faint

*Has watched to much Stargate SG-1*

namie will attend a-nation for the first time, (http://www.visionfactory.jp/news/new...000_amuro.html) for schedule and info

what?????????????????? a-nation? with namie?????

LOL THIS IS A BIG NEWS!!!! THX FOR SHARING IT! GO NAMIE!

Hmm...I guess she attended a-nation to promote the two new tracks on her best album. =/

^Probably, but I believe there was a rumor that Namie didn't attend A-Nation because she didn't want to share a stage with Ayumi XD
