yup yup

how about Namie's bar code tattoo ? does that play a part ?

That would be awesome if there was another Amuro Boom. It does seem like she is gaining more popularity nowadays.

Yes, I'm very happy with her QoHP+ sound so it's great that it seems to be doing well in Japan.

I'm all for another amuro boom! Europe as well please!

[Zachery!]

I'd love a worldwide Amuro Boom.

But yeah, it seems like there is a new Amuro Boom in Japan, or at least one is on its way ...

[_Jpoppo_]

Yes!! A worldwide Amuro boom will be great *________*

[ayuayu798]

It would be awesome !! Plain and simple

Please look where that news story is from. Not exactly the most reliable source.

That would be cool. I wouldn't be surprised seeing as how her hair is gorgeous and now she has those Vidal Sassoon CMs.

[Ame.P]

She totally deserves this! ^^ I'm lovin' her current songs so so much!!!

me neither, lol, that's so beautiful, and for the amuro boom, i don't know because what was known as Amuras in the beginning are now the ganguros or something, and it's ugly i think.

really? the boom maes the ganguro? wow~
before the amuro boom
what are the girls wearing?
like hitomi's by myself album cover?
high pants...?

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

I love most of the things she's done since "Break the Rules" so it's about time!!

But her new single is shite imho.

There's definitely an Amuro boom here, her official thread has become ALOT more active since I first came here in 06.

Yep, ever since QoHP she seems to be steadily more popular both in japan and outside.

One thing that's a little strange if there's another Amuro Boom is that her style really hasen't changed that much since the first one. Mini skirts, boots, tan etc, it's still the same. She never changed radically like f.ex. ayu did. So I guess this fashion will only be "new" to the teens not apart of the former amuro boom. And I doubt they will ganguro up this time lol.

ooo...
how bout women wear before the boom??

I don't know. For me, Chiaki Kuriyama has the ultimate long hair statement. It super straight, super black and super long. <3
