i can rarely understand her, especially with Do Me More. it doesn't take away from the song because i realize it's not her first language. a lot of japanese singers have that problem so its nothing new

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...?

hmm compared to KK English, NA English in her song is easy to understand and fun.

KK English - "drifing bang bang bang"
NA English - "You mea' driving bling bling bling?"
KK English - "Ya tha' s what I meattt!"
NA English - "????? meatttt?"
KK English - "YAAAAAAA HAHAHAHHAHA"

uhmm i didn't mention kumi at all? lol but i was expecting that because someone ALWAYS tries to turn it into a "___ vs. ___" match around here.

i can rarely understand kumi's english either.

your signature makes me think about that actually. Well , everyone has accent. The most important thing is .. we need to understand what they sing.

I can sometime barely understand what Black guys sing.

LOL

with most japanese music, i am surprised after hearing a song for the first time and then seeing the lyrics. there seems to be english that i missed in the song because i couldn't understand it

i have gotten better with namie engrish but sometimes it sounds like "dskjhflskjas" to me.

Yes! for example - "No". That is an adorable mistake in her lyrics.
Everyone thinks that song is *****ing what girls like to do. LOL

^ 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.

jbrat2219 · #**293** 25th January 2009, 06:36 AM

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

acougan · #**294** 25th January 2009, 07:33 AM

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.

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.

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.

It's so clear that Dr is her love therapist
