Yes, "Mirrorcle World" influences are heavily felt in the Marching section. Definitely popped into my mind.

Yeah, I got that vibe as well from the Marching section. That's the part that's typical of Namie. Feels like it doesn't belong with the much more interesting beginning, which if I must say sounds a lot like something Utada would do. At least the music, b/c it sounds very atmospheric and other worldly. I think that's why so many are going goo goo crazy over it and exclaiming how different it is and how much they've been waiting for something like this from Namie.

On another note, I've read some messages here that causes me to question whether you guys realize that Namie's hair in this Commercial isn't real time. It's not as simple as blowing it back with a huge fan and slowing it down with video capture. Has your hair ever blown like that in the wind?
Even if that was possible, her face isn't contorted as it would be if some huge fan was blowing against her flapping her skin every which way.

^however they did it...her hair looks awkward lol

about the song...seems okay...obviously not as good as other songs...

I think I have to hear the whole thing and it's flow before I pass judgement though.


random but...I love the guy who says "Vidal Sassoon" lol it's so funny.

So how exactly did they get her hair to flow like that? You say it's not in real time, do you mean that they pre-recorded that part and then added it in somehow?

[LuverOfLuv]

I know, I can't stop playing the song...

I wonder what the pv is like...

Well I THINK they pre-captured SOMETHING before hand, added graphical effects to that, such as the glimmering waves and whatever else because there's still no way for hair to naturally move like that through natural physical manipulation (Sorry Vidal Sasoon, not even you are that good), and then cropped out her real time hair and digitally inserted what's in the commercial. Of course this is just speculation. I just know that it isn't real time.

Because you see, her hair is completely flattened vertically. There's no horizontal depth and that's just impossible. They more than likely got her to press her hair against a surface and completely flattenened it before hand. Captured that. And then they added everything else concerning the motion and what not and inserted that into the commercial.

thank you! well, the song's kinda...weird, but i'm being positive and hoping for it to sound better in full

[LuverOfLuv]

In this video, @ 0:05-0:06 and 0:09-0:10, Namie's saying "please doctor"... I don't think it's in the cm's...

[jbrat2219]

I think her hair would have looked better if it were free flowing, but considering all the weird random things going on around her, she has to look just as strange xD;

She says it quite fast too.

[jbrat2219]

Yeah, it's very quiet but I heard it...

[elepop]

I didn't knew she had a new single coming out soon! I watched the CM but I'm not too fond with the song preview. Well, it's just a 30 sec. preview so we never know, maybe I'll end up loving the full song. But so far, the song sounds kinda random. Like BoA's "My Style". Too much random background music.

[RyRyMini]

Obviously it's not her real hair - the ends look so frazzled/stringy. And I think it's shorter than her hair?

I love the new song so far, but if that "please doctor" part is in there then it's kind of all over the place. Like Luvotomy But, I'll still like it for sure.

[acougan]

i wish they showed the high-speed camera in the "Making of". maybe it is some production secret which they didn't feel like revealing.

whatever wavy hair footage was captured (she was lying down against a piece of wavy silk?), i'm sure they touched it up with CG effects in post production.

[jbrat2219]

Maybe the making of will be a bonus on the single or an album later on.

[Purple Neko]

Her hair is always so perfect lol.
