[Namie Amuro] She's the Queen of the Board ~Checkmate!~ The 62nd Thread

[AyumiAi]

this sounds very good!

[kayokyokufan]

I think it's "power zero evolution" that is making me go 'huh?' The words 'power' and 'zero' seem like such opposites to me so it's like they're canceling each other out. The other one sounds odd, but not completely nonsensical.

i think the fact that the last song looks engrishy is what's making me believe this is fake. She really doesn't have any engrishy song titles. All of them being from before 2003; before style.

Exactly. That's why I'm suspicious. I want to believe that the rumor is true, but I'm finding it a bit difficult.

i think if anything will be true, it'll be the fact that a new single will be released. whether it actually ends up being a triple a-side, double a-side, or just a single a-side. i think we could expect a new single, regardless of the amount of songs in it.

[RikkuChii]

Those are some crazyass names for a single from Namie. But if it's real, it's all good.

[kayokyokufan]

Yeah, I don't doubt that Namie will come out with a single this year. She seems to be trending toward releasing just one single per year.

Maybe another summer single I'm really looking forward to a new album, but that'll probably be in the works for next year or something. But I'm still in love with PAST<FUTURE, so w/e. Namie has that spark which keeps you in love with her past music, she doesn't need to release a billion singles to keep you interested.

Gah. She's awesome.

[kayokyokufan]

I like and respect that she doesn't release music like crazy. Like you said Koumori, I still like her old music, but aside from that it's also good to be teased a bit. Also, the woman needs a break. I mean she tours like crazy and she has a son who is turning 13 this year. Wow, he's gonna be a teenager this year. Time sure flies.

[adantatu2]

i think she is gonna release just 1 single this year (3 aside single sounds amazing for me), and probably and album later,

[KarenPang]

Namie is 1 of the few artistes that take her time to release material & then most of the time , the quality's there

I like that she doesn't over release when comes to her stuff & frankly I don't mind to wait , especially since from Queen Of Hip Pop onwards , she has been doing the whole 1 album release every 2 years which's ok

hopefully a new album will drop this year since PAST < FUTURE was released in 2009 8D

[kayokyokufan]

I'm guessing that Namie will come out with a new album next year. I'm only guessing that since Checkmate! is coming out this year.

[kayokyokufan]

Let's see, it's about 2 weeks until the release of Checkmate. I really hope they've already started re-promoting the album. I'm not in Japan so I don't know if they have. It would be nice if Namie did a few tv performances, but I'm guessing if she were going to do that then we would be hearing about it soon seeing as how the album is coming soon. Here's hoping although I'm a bit doubtful.

^Dreaming I was dreaming that I was dreaming. lol Inception.

[Minttulatte]

^AHAHAHAHA Inception <3

So there's two more weeks till Checkmate! is officially released? Nice. I can still wait...

...and torture the hell out of myself. :'D

[JackieRos]

I need the songs in hq,

I can't wait!

[dreamland2.0]

^Isn't it I will be close to you tonight? So close your eyes but not your mind and I will be close to you tonight.
And it's a song title so who cares

[JackieRos]

ok wtf is going here?

[neuteka]

Yeah, the subject itself doesn't matter at all. Picaflor asked me a question, so in turn I will respond with my complete answer. I won't just leave em' hanging :/ I know this isn't a extended discussion forum, but again, no one cares cause they are just music titles.

[Minttulatte]

Isn't Tetsuya Komuro known for weird song titles? He wrote Close your eyes, Close to you after all and his english is bad as hell sometimes. :'3
