[Namie Amuro] The 100th Thread - Enter The Final Space -

[KarenPang]

For me I'm curious to see the 2 DVDs/Blu-ray regular covers for namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ as in https://namieamuro.jp/news/2018/20180809_dvdbd/ , they wrote the covers will be different

I wonder how much they will differ from the limited version covers :O

[sora-kara]

^Yeah, i really like the covers already, so it's going to be exciting to see the new versions as well!

Aside, has anyone watch The Toys That Made Us on Netflix? It's a super fun series to watch, and in the Hello Kitty episode, they discuss how Namie's career and love life had an impact on the direction of Hello Kitty's character. It's just a brief topic, but it was a pleasant surprise to see her in there!

loool omg I can't believe the narrator couldn't spend a minute to look up how to pronounce her name right.

"Nay-mee A-more-row"

I knoooooooow! I died, but was still grateful they bothered to include her at all.

[Celaphorce]

No worse than Paris Hilton butchering her name when she introduced her before a Hide & Seek performance. Lol

[mi|kshake]

I think I have ordered the book!

I had to complete the free registration part (I had already registered but think I had been entering my password wrong) as it said the book could only shipped to "special members". I couldn't find a way to select my country as Japan when registering presumably because my settings are in English or I was just being an idiot and missed it so I had to use the "ship to another address" option. When entering my Tenso address I had to select the first line instead of copying and pasting it. I tried my best to match the characters and it looked like Tokyo which tied into Google Translate.

It also wanted my name in Kana characters so I just translated it lol. The book should ship after August so I hope it will ship to my Tenso address and that I haven't screwed anything up! I assume I'll get an email once shipped and if I don't hear from Tenso within a few days I can contact them. I did include the TS number which I think is the tracking number?

Anyway, thanks for all your help guys and I hope the above may be helpful to anyone else ordering from Namie's store.

Ok guys. Quick question for you all. If Finally was a studio album, what would your track list order be? I assumed all of her singles released before the album, and all of the new songs on Finally, would make up the track list, but I can’t decide on a good order of songs. Here is what I came up with:

01. Hero
02. Mint
03. Red Carpet
04. Showtime
05. Just You and I
06. TSUKI (debatable)
07. Hope
08. In Two
09. Damage (debatable)
10. Fighter
11. Do It For Love
12. BRIGHTER DAY (debatable)
13. Dear Diary
14. Finally
15. How Do You Feel Now?

I am not sure if any of the debatable songs should be included given their age, and I didn’t include any b-sides either which may be a good fit for a final album. What track lists do you all have?

Before she announced her retirement and Finally, I actually made a playlist on my phone with all of her singles released after _genic.

1. Ballerina
2. Mint
3. Neonlight Lipstick
4. Black Make Up
5. Fighter
6. Dear Diary
7. TSUKI
8. Red Carpet
9. BRIGHTER DAY
10. SWEET KISSES
11. Chit Chat
12. Show Me What You've Got
13. Strike A Pose
14. Still Lovin' You
15. Just You and I
16. Hero

If the focus was on the tracks from Finally, I wouldn't include Damage because it's much older since it came out before _genic. She kind of already includes all the main songs in the 3rd disk, starting from TSUKI, but I would change the order a bit and add BRIGHTER DAY. I think you also forgot to add Christmas Wish. It would be a kind of ballad-heavy album for her though

1. Mint
2. Showtime
3. In Two
4. Fighter
5. TSUKI
6. Dear Diary
7. Red Carpet
8. Christmas Wish
9. BRIGHTER DAY
10. Hope
11. Just You and I
12. Do It For Love
13. How do you feel now?
14. Finally
15. Hero

Random question..
Anyone knows how to acces to "Birthday (Behind Movie)" and "Fashionista (Dance ver.)" on _genic Blu-ray disc?

[Xianghua]

Namie is gonna be a guest on a special radio program WE LOVE RADIO, WE LOVE AMURO NAMIE. It will be broadcasted throughout the country from September 8th - September 10th. Listeners can check the website for the station and exact broadcast time in their area.

The theme is "Amuro Namie's music and me" and fans can request songs to be played, make request for episodes about a musical composition, and write messages from August 20th to September 2nd on the site: https://weloveradio.jp/

I think while watching the original version of the MVs, you're supposed to press "OK" on your controller at certain points.

Around 0:25 seconds for Birthday, and near the end at 3:15 for Fashionista (according to the Japanese wiki).

[EndOfTheWorld]

Those Namie gachas are amazing.

[haraiso]

Namie has reached over 1 million pre-orders for the Finally DVD. It is now the highest selling music DVD in Japan's history!

Also, I'm mad all these gachas and billboards and events are happening right after my vacation ended lmao

[Xianghua]

I wonder how many people bought all 5 versions

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

That’s amazing! I’m so happy she’s been able to have such an amazing send off.

[cosmicfirefly]

That's great! I'm pre-ordering mine tonight. I kept waiting because I was hoping they would show clips of the different directors angles, since I was debating between the western one and the dance focus one, but I'm pretty sure I'll just get the western director one.

[EndOfTheWorld]

I really want to know the difference between all the versions too. The descriptions we have are a bit vague. I wonder if every version will show up online to download.
I think I would get the one that focuses on Namie the most. The "western" one comes in second. As someone who lives in the west of the world, I never saw any major differences in editing between american and japanese concert dvds.

Here's a short preview of the 5 versions (starts @ 3:00)

Thank you! The western one honestly doesn't look that different from a regular version I think. The Sapporo one interests me the most from what I saw, but the description talks about idols and group shots, but the clips they showed were just Namie? It's a shame that's my least favorite cover though.

Edit: A backstage version would have been so cool.
