[Namie Amuro] Thread # 69 - 20th anniversary & new single "Go Round / YEAH-OH"

[toniayu]

Are these the posters that come with the single?

[Not Fade Away]

Namie's English Pronunciation is amazing in YEAH-OH's breakdown.

EDT: I just read back all the pages of posts...you guys are way too hilarious hahaha.

Sweaty Salamander....ahaha

I actually think Namie is the most gorgeous JPOP act, but that's just me.

Also I'm secretly hoping for a Compilation Album + New Album, but that would just be me living in a dream world.

Also: Gawd, if she does a 3 DISC Compilation + 3 DVD I am going to have to start saving up my next three paychecks cause I'm sure that'll cost $250 or more or some ridiculous price and I will need to get it.

YEAH-OH

そんなにステップ見せられたら (sonnani step miseraretara) Can't keep in control (no-o no-o)
そんなに (sonnani) selfish じゃないけど (janai kedo) But ready to blow (oh-oh)

Dancing all night I sing とまらない (tomaranai)
Dancing all night I say たまらない (tamaranai)
もうどうなっても構わない (mou dou nate mo kamawanai)
今夜だけ そう (konya dake sou) It's quite alright

Feeling what I'm feeling no apology
Cause boy I know what I believe in and it's you and me
Don't you hold back this feeling cause this time I'm sure
We're singing yeah-oh, sing yeah-h-oh

どんなにストップかけられても(donnani stop kakeraretemo) Can't take anymore (mo-ore)
ヤバいリズムに体熱くなっていくの (yabai rhythm ni karada atsuku natte iku no) (no-no)

Dancing all night I sing とまらない (tomaranai)
Dancing all night I say たまらない (tamaranai)
もうどうなっても構わない (mou dou nate mo kamawanai)
今夜だけ そう (konya dake sou) It's quite alright

Feeling what I'm feeling no apology
Cause boy I know what I believe in and it's you and me
Don't you hold back this feeling cause this time I'm sure
We're singing yeah-oh, sing yeah-h-oh

Dance to the same beat, move like you move me, love like you can't breathe (yeah-oh)
Dance to the same beat, move like you move me, love like you can't breathe (yeah-oh)

(Yeah-oh, sing yeah-h-oh)
(Yeah-oh, sing yeah-h-oh)

It doesn't make sense for you to hold back on this love
It doesn't make sense for us to ever give this up
It doesn't make sense baby it doesn't make sense for us
So come on get it closer, come on get it closer

Dancing all night I sing とまらない (tomaranai)
Dancing all night I say たまらない (tamaranai)
もうどうなっても構わない (mou dou nate mo kamawanai)
今夜だけ そう (konya dake sou) It's quite alright

Wow YEAH-OH is almost totally english ! I didn't realize it at first, but yes I agree! Her english pronunciation is very good in this song . This single is gold...seriously!

[tenshi no hane]

Her English pronunciation is pretty good but the "breathe" in "love like you can't breathe" is undecipherable imo.

That's the only one I couldn't really figure out either! I heard "see" "sleep" or "breathe"

[waterballoon]

YEAH-OH is really catchy. when she sings "saying yeah-oh, saying yeah-oh" it REALLY reminds me of another song from the US although i can't remember which song lol

[everlastingRAINBOW]

Went ahead and ordered the CD-only, had some points so it was only $13. This single is too epic not to support!

[adantatu2]

Woww, YEAH-OH is amazing, but you are right, it sounds like that Jason DeRulo song

^ and that song contains sample from this song lol so it's basically a cover's cover lol

[Zeke.]

I think Namie's has like one note changed or something.

But yes, YEAH-OH is pretty good. I love the sound of the verses the most - the production on this track is astounding along with the PV. Not a whole lot going on in it besides dancing but it looks of a lot higher quality than Ayu's garabge PVs she had on Party queen. I wish Ayu was this fierce again... YEAH-OH is Namie's best song since NEW LOOK for me.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

since the single leaked and I've been able to listen to the songs a few times, they've been growing on me.

[Rocky Raven]

FYI, 'Go Round' & 'YEAH-OH' was both written and produced by the same team who produced 'Love Story'

By the way, Namie's Youtube Official Channel just uploaded 'Love Story' and 'NAKED', so I guess the '20th Anniversary BEST' is really coming... X)

[waterballoon]

i forgot to mention how much i really love Love Story. beautiful ballad.

and omg that Jason Derulo song...dude doesn't have an appealing voice. the original of the original though was freaking awesome. i still YEAH-OH the most

[mirrorcleworld]

dayyyuummm looks like i'm going to be forced to buy these! those posters are just TOO GOOD to pass on X_X ughhhhh how am I ever going to pay that bill

Girly cuteness and strength. In music & fashion she expresses both sides.

Namie Amuro looks lovely in adult sweet pink co-ordinates. Her forelock having been cut for the first time in over ten years also is fresh.

"Actually, of the full one-length, only the forelock was cut, so I was surprised how much long hair was lopped off. Today�'s pink is like that too, it's a very powerful color. Although I don�'t usually wear primary colors, for some reason I once wore a bright yellow parka. I wanted to wear it for a photo shoot, matched up with a black bikers [jacket], but when the day came, only the yellow hood and cuffs were visible. From the morning onwards the tension was really rising. Anyway, as I wore it, if I don't take off and throw away this yellow soon, how much more will it rise? All day long it was an interesting feeling (both laugh)�"

By the way, on this page what appears to be a hairpin on her forelock is actually a (finger) ring. It was Amuro's impromptu idea. That sort of interesting , unexpected combination also leads to her new single on which creators from Japan, London and Korea competed. For this single, Go Round, already familiar as a CM song, and YEAH-OH are both Spring mood, up-beat dance tunes.

"Go Round is a girly song about a favorite person and worrying about how it looks to people around. YEAH-OH is a song that says let�'s enjoy our world without worrying about [who�'s] around... maybe that's not popular? (laughs) This time it was fun to express images that feel both cute and strong. It�'s like �'which do I prefer?�' But I think YEAH-OH is more like me (laughs)�"

This year is the 20th anniversary of her debut. It�'s been announced that on debut day September 16th she will hold a concert in her old hometown Okinawa!

"By holding a concert on debut day I hope everyone will enjoy making some noise at any rate! For the present, I'm doing a solo concert, singing Go Round / YEAH-OH while soaking in the bathtub. I like the echo. But I keep the volume moderately low so as not to bother the neighbors (both laugh)" �

She's lovely =]]]
