um , yeah. they're also known as MAX and they have a big discography & actually released a new album this year called 'Jewel of Jewels'.
They used to be big , huge sold-out tours & multi-million sales but they sorta lost their popularity. but they're still around ![]() MAX reviews at J-Fan.com MAX @ Wikipedia I'm a fan of them ![]() Last edited by Halla; 10th May 2006 at 07:59 PM. |

Yup! After Namie went solo, her backups came together and became MAX.
However, a few years ago their main singer quit because of pregnancy, and they hired a new girl. I like both sets =) |

![]() I think Namie left Super Monkeys in good terms , I remember reading from some interview of Namie's that she still meets & goes out with the MAX girls every now & then. |

![]() I have Supermonkey's "Mr. USA" PV if anyone wants that, the only problem is, the quality isn't so great, but it's not eye-blinding bad either, and the music's off-syncn w/ the vid

Yes, I also read that Namie and the girls are still good friends. I think that their careers just started going in different directions so they parted ways.
I'd love to hear a collaboration someday, though. Namie Amuro feat. MAX. Or maybe MAX feat. Namie Amuro to give the group a bit of a sales boost. ^^; |

I think you can say 'Super Monkeys are MAX' , because MAX's original line-up is the same as the last (and the most well-known) line-up of Super Monkeys ( when they were 'Namie Amuro with Super Monkeys' ). the original Super Monkey line-up had Nana & Mina & Namie + 2 girls , who were swapped a couple of times until current MAX-members Reina & Lina took their place.
I think when MAX was formed at first they still performed with Namie as 'Namie Amuro with MAX' until they hit it big. MAX has had a one member change. Mina retired to have a baby & settle down in '02 and a new-comer Aki joined MAX. I have some sales figures. they're from the late 90's when the overall CD sales were really strong: MAX's debut album "MAXIMUM" sold atleast 1.5 million copies , and their singles off their 1st & 2nd albums sold anywhere from around 200.000 to 500.000 copies. their 2nd album "MAXIMUM II" supposedly sold 1 million copies the day it was released.
