ABOUT NAMIE

Spoiler:

http://esprique.com/
Amuro Namie (安室奈美恵) is a Japanese "Hip-Pop" (Hip-Hop / Pop) artist from Okinawa. She debuted in a eurobeat group called the SUPER MONKEYS comprised of her and her classmates from the Okinawa Actors' School in 1992 with the single Koi no Cute Beat / Mister U.S.A.. Amuro became the leader of the group, and found success after their cover of TRY ME ~Watashi wo Shinjite~, which peaked at #8. In 1996, Amuro switched to avex trax and debuted with the single Body Feels EXIT, with her first avex album selling over 3.3 million copies. Her biggest single, the ballad CAN YOU CELEBRATE?, was the top single of 1997. After marriage and personal tragedy, Amuro continued to adopt a more R&B/hip-hop based style of music. She has sold over 27,322,155 copies in Japan alone.

NEW LYRICS & TRANSLATIONS

Spoiler:

Fight Together CREDITS
Let's set out on our journey before dawn
To greet our unseen tomorrows
We have no regrets in our resolve
(Oh I know what I'm supposed to do)
No matter what kind of trials lie ahead,
nothing can stop my beating heart
There is only one place to go
(Fly to the light)
Bonds forged through battle (That's right)
I won't let anyone break them (That's right)
When I open my clenched fist
I will find power there
Let's start
The new world is calling
Now look
No matter how many seas separate us
I'm always standing by you
Don't be afraid to advance
Don't forget
We fight together
I've never spoiled the memory
Of the vast infinite sky that I looked up to that day
We've come a long way
Each with our own pledge in our hearts
There is no doubt
There are things we must carry with us
The sun will rise and shine equally on even our sorrows
I believe in the future that will become one piece someday
Let's go to find it together
You're irreplaceable
Don't forget
We fight together

Tempest thanks to tenshi no hane

There was a girl gazing at the sea
Drops fall down in the fading sunlight
Small hands reach out, trying to return to the sky

What has she decided?
I know better than anyone
If you’re alone and crying, try to grow stronger

Time passes, a new wind blows
Far away, this wish lights someone’s tomorrow
Hurt badly, unable to smile honestly
I’ll close my eyes for a moment now
Until the storm has passed

I selected words that would fill
The gap in my heart
But they rang hollowly, drifting to the past

Living with covered ears
Is the same as living in a monochrome world
That’s why I want to forgive you

Time passes, a new wind blows
Far away, these thoughts wipe away someone’s tears
The blessing of life overflows the land
No sorrow is endless

Petals teasingly dance in the sky
Looking for a home
I’m shouting loudly
Loud enough to lose my voice

Even if I get stuck in the mud
And become the world’s last person
I will still believe, why is that?

Time passes, a new wind blows
Far away, this wish lights someone’s tomorrow
I cried, I laughed
I will walk on this path
Amidst the light
And love everything

The storm is passing

NAKED @http://verduistering.livejournal.com

Wherever I search, whatever TV show I watch
I can’t seem to find any answers
Just being twisted around someone’s little finger
I’m going in circles. People watch me and laugh

Who’s the boss character? Right and left
I don’t know who’s friend or foe
There’s a fine line between them
I can’t hide from my problems
So I have no choice but to face them
Let’s fight for our right

Naked, naked. Take it off
Won’t you take off your mask already?
Dying the night-sky in red, you’re a butterfly
Face it. Don’t let things stay unsolved
You have to use every trick in the book
Wake up from your virtual reality right now
Make it up, make up your mind now

I don't know why, but It’s different from usual
I’m not really that interested
I’m not that passionate
But my body moves anyway

Tell me if there’s something I can do
Because I dislike just looking
Don’t you wanna stir up some action?
If you’re gonna bluff, I’ll see through it
If you’re ready for it
Just follow your heart

Naked, naked. Switch it on
I can’t feel your instinct with only words
Put your heart into it
Chase it. I wanna chase my dreams forever
Gotta get, gotta get, I’ve gotta get it
Change the part of you that keeps making excuses
Make it up, make up your mind now

Naked, naked. Take it off
Won’t you take off your mask already?
Dying the night-sky in red, you’re a butterfly
Face it. Don’t let things stay unsolved
You have to use every trick in the book
Wake up from your virtual reality right now
Make it up, make up your mind now

I have to apologize that I do not do favors. I keep my mask and clothes on while I am in this thread. I would not get naked.

[Not Fade Away]

[Alessia_Tateno]

Beautiful thread's main picture =)

[koumori]

Beautiful first post Thanks for making it! I really do love that photo that you used for the banner. And so much info~ I hope the person who makes the next thread uses it!

[dannysan]

ok, i have one question.. this video is from her "Live Style 2006 Tour" and was included on the live dvd right? it was for limited edition only? i bought the dvd (HK Version) and there's no "Go! Go!" or "NEVER END" performance on the bonus features

[kayokyokufan]

I could be wrong, but I don't think that it was included on the DVD.

[Rocky Raven]

Awesome first post, btw here's Checkmate! current number, u should update it ^^

It wasn't ever included on the DVD,
these(GoGo + CYC + Never End) were 3 special encore songs she performed in Okinawa as it was the last date of her 2006 tour,
and they were just featured on Yahoo!Japan page at that time.

[Not Fade Away]

^yaaaaaaaaaay Namie. Maybe she'll hit 500K before the year's end? Who knows.

I think it's awesome that she's selling THAT much, though, especially considering how much sales for CDs have decreased in the past couple of years.

I loveee that Go!Go! performance. I'm still waiting on a concert of just like, old hits, but I doubt it'll happen.

....a girl can dream

Yessssss, her alb sale has been so good since 2007. And I really don't care for the singles really
And comparing to those Kpop/Jpop group where they have many of long-leg/ attractive/lovely girls, she only has herself and still sale like a hot cake, i feel so proud<3

Me too~ Go! Go! is one of my favorite Namie songs!

[kayokyokufan]

I hope that Namie does like her last Live Style tour and throw in a super old song during one of the concerts.

[R_Hikki]

This thread put me in the mood to see Live Style 2006 again and I'm glad that I did. I almost forgot what a stellar performance "Lovin' It" was. The entire set list was perfect.

[Not Fade Away]

^It was perfect lol. I think there were maybe 2 songs I didn't like, but other than that .

^^I'm hoping for that too....maybe she'll throw in Try Me or Stop the Music

^^^Go!Go! is one of my favorites too
