ABOUT NAMIE

Spoiler:

Amuro Namie (安室奈美恵) is a Japanese "Hip-Pop" (Hip-Hop / Pop) artist from Okinawa. She debuted in a eurobeat group called the SUPER MONKEYS comprised of her and her classmates from the Okinawa Actors' School in 1992 with the single Koi no Cute Beat / Mister U.S.A.. Amuro became the leader of the group, and found success after their cover of TRY ME ~Watashi wo Shinjite~, which peaked at #8. In 1996, Amuro switched to avex trax and debuted with the single Body Feels EXIT, with her first avex album selling over 3.3 million copies. Her biggest single, the ballad CAN YOU CELEBRATE?, was the top single of 1997. After marriage and personal tragedy, Amuro continued to adopt a more R&B/hip-hop based style of music.

She looks gorgeous!

Ok, so all of the inf and pictures are in the spoilers!

[koumori]

The new PV Hot Girls includes around 400 members of her fanclub, who you can see in the screenshots posted. So awesome

[everlastingRAINBOW]

Covergirl, put that bass in your walk. Head to toe, let your whole body talk. Work.



Flawless deadpan Namie is flawless.

Yes! I love me some RuPaul.


A Dome Tour? It's about damn time and long overdue imo. As for the album title, I feel her previous album "Past<Future" fit the title better. Regardless, I do like the title. It's sounds very "Western Pop-ish".

[AyuHamasaki01]

ONLY YOU is a gorgeous PV.

[kotora]

The next thread title can be "Yeah-OH! Let's Go In The Spotlight, Hot Girls!"

[SKYia]

Is it just me or Only You PV has Guilty cover / photobook feeling, not only the scene but even the dress, eps the belt. It was my first thought when the PV started

[JackieRos]

awwww she looks so amazing in hot girls.

also the location of guilty covers remind me of it.

Yeah those were my thoughts too, esp the belt too, lol! Namie looks great in a very uneventful PV but I still don't care for the song at all.

[Beauty4123]

wow, the PV for "Hot Girls" looks amazing so far just by looking at those pictures. namie is looking fierce, too! i can't wait to watch the PV!

[emi♡]

omg dress.

I love namie with bangs <3

[pommy48]

I love her bangs so much!!!

Namie's new album title is "Uncontrolled" !
It was written on the bracelets given to the fans during the MV of Hot Girls.
It’s a bit blurry but you can clearly read “uncontrolled” at the end:


---

[emi♡]

ooo *_*

[Benikari47]

I'm really liking the album title, simple but it works.

[Heavenly]

If the title really is "Uncontrolled" I would be happy with that *.*

[Alessia_Tateno]

Same here ^__^

When Hot Girls pv is gonna release?

[RayJason]

It's capslock "UNCONTROLLED" .

I really dislike the title. And also, why do people not credit sources when copying (basically stealing in this case) from other sources. Be nice and credit. .

Anyways big thanks to Maemi for the organized first post!
