Yes I do!

@ Pommy: I forget the month, but I think it was either 2006 or 2007. I could find out if you're interested...?

^ Woah, 14.6GB? That's a pretty big file.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^ Like Do Me More? The only English words I understand are 'do me more'.
I think her English is ok. There are times I understand her completely (Baby Don't Cry, Hello), halfway (WHAT A FEELING), or I have no idea. It really depends on the song.

O_o Really?? I can understand absolutely everything that she says in Do Me More. Usually I can understand her English, and I find it to be much better than most artists'. I suppose it might also be harder for non-native speakers of the English language, though. :/ I know that I have a hard time understanding words in other languages that I'm studying.

I don't find it vry difficult to understand her english either, it's not really good, but you get the words pretty easily. THey're usually vry differently structured.

Sometimes I wish I didn't get it though, like in WANT ME WANT ME; too obious.

My native language is English. I seriously can't grasp the whole cheap box thing. Listening to it now, I understand more than I originally thought. Must have been me not liking DMM so I didn't care to listen to the song any longer than wanted to.

[jbrat2219]

^ Yeah definitely! Sometimes I look at the lyrics and I'm amazed that a certain part was actually in english lol

[acougan]

muahaha, my ISP has shaped my BT speed

5kB/s to d/load a 14GB file, i think i'll be done in 1 month! LoL

Namie Amuro Tour "Genius 2000" Concert footage

the DVD version which some of us have is - 720x480, 110 minutes

this HD version is 1440 X 1080 (length unknown).

i think it is ripped from some JPN HD cable channel. such a pity Avex is still selling Tour DVD in SD while cable channels are already broadcasting in HD.

It can't be helped, I really want to meet you (don't you want to meet me?)*
I miss him, Dr.
Dr., what should I do? It's like this thorn except when he tries to remove it, it won't come out
Save me Dr.

*(When she says "meet you" it may mean more like, "meet with you/ see you again" because she does say "I miss him, Dr." and she refers to him as "kare" which means him, but also boyfriend... Sounds like Namie when to the loveeee Dr. )

Wanted to help out the cause! lol

The lyrics are very nice.

[WillofDusk]

It's so clear that Dr is her love therapist

[emi♡]

why would black guys have an accent anyway, unless they were from Jamaica or the dominican republic or africa or britain or something lol


I can't understand English in Japanese songs AT ALL unless I read the lyrics first.

The accents are seriously horrible. And Namie's is the worst out of my repertoire lol

Some of her words...just totally sound like something else..and her voice can't seem to make the transition from letter to letter lol

Is WILD out yet? damn, when should it be expected?

African American Vernacular English. Look it up. It's a legit linguistic term.
