Next BIG hit?

Ever heard of Nammi Uehara? She's only 13 years old, but has already released three singles! The song that caught my ear(s) was Real Me, her newest release, it a catchy song that really sticks. She is under Toshiba EMI and her idols are people like Namie Amuro and ZONE. ( I automatically thought of Namie Amuro when I saw her they lokk the same. ) Here's a link to websites:

ewww....that's just disgusting, i saw the Real Me video and i thought 'Okay...she's 13 ...that's just wrong..'

her music is VERY generic...I don't hear ANYTHING unique in it...
i saw and listened to everything as well...her voice is [from what i hear...i might be wrong..cuz of the quality..] squeaky...and just eww...

I don't think she'll be a big hit...unless Japanese people like 13 years old doing that kind of stuff....

I agree. She's not that pretty either.

EDIT: Her voice is alright, but she needs to sing different types of songs I think.

Yeah, I must admit I was a bit shocked by the video, but Japan = huge lolita complex. So, not surprising.
Most of new idols' music sound generic in the beginning, even ayumi's, it's easy and catchy. I really only like her Real me song.

Ummmm I thought "Real Me" was sorta catchy, but first of all her voice is HORRIBLE... I mean it sounds like a bad audition for American Idol.. And second of all, a 13 year old should NOT be dancing like that.

Isn't Nami 14? I remember she's one year younger than me and I'm 15 Her voice is bad... and IMO she's just another Beni Arashiro with no voice. At least Beni as a great voice. Noticed how she looks a lot like Namie Amuro? On her profile, Namie is actually listed in her favourite artists hahaha. Maybe she'll grow more popular but she'll need great songs and a lot of voice training. I know her since her debut and I kinda liked BALANCE on her 1st single but I didn't like Slow Revolution and REAL ME at all.

Nami's got a nasty ass voice. Although her material is nice enough. Prime for lolicon lovers.

Have we been listening to the same Beni? Lol!

I think her voice is dull, she sings like she doesen't feel the song at all. She generally hits the notes, yes (not always though), and that's more than what can be said about Nami. Did you hear the version of "happy day" on her album? It sounds like the song is put there to make fun of her, because the backgroundsingers sing so much better, beni sounds like a bad karaokesinger trying to copy them. I'd rather have an idol with emotion in her singing (like ayu, which doesen't always sing very.. purely) than something like beni though.

But in the end, we all have different tastes..

Yep, it's just a matter of tastes But you'll never see me buying a Beni album hahaha. Beni lacks emotion a lot, but she has a soft voice and it's kinda powerful though monotone. I like Ayu's voice better too. It's very emotional and it adds a beautiful touch to her songs. Especially to her ballads.

Actually I don't think it's her dancing that's disturbing, it's the camera angles. Hopefully she diden't direct the video herself. =P And what's up with the owl!?!

LMFAO At first I thought people were being prude (not to be mean, but a lot people on here are =x ), but wow.

=x I don't know, you havent seen "crude" until you see a TEMA video. The girls in the shower naked, and she cuts her self...kind of stuff that would never make it on American TV =) ha ha ha!

!! I love Beni! She isn't the best singer but there's just something about her. And about her songs. I love her so much. Her latest Visée commercial has a great song in it, too, but it hasn't been released on CD yet.

I friend told me she's gonna be the next porn star. She told that Nami is only 14 and said her favorite clothing line is Play Boy and etc.
