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

[AyusakiFan]

The first press bonuses for the album are special packaging (I'm assuming a digipak unless she decides to do something different for her anniversary) and a B2-size poster!

Her English singing voice reminds me of Kylie Minogue, but I'm not sure why.

Was a bit surprised that basically all of her previous singles and b-sides were included! I haven't really been listening to a lot of her recent material, so the album will be pretty new for me.

I could hear the Kylie Minogue comparison too

Also, none of her B-sides are included lol. They're all A-sides!




I also had a dream I was freaking out because the album came with a photo book shot in Arizona (where they shot the PV I assume), but that'd be Ayu's GUILTY xD

I think the PV is shot in LA just like Ayu's GUILTY

^^ Oh wow hahaha I guess I'm really out of the loop! I've just been checking up on her and listening here and there haha.

It sounds like she will release more stuff for her 20th anniversery after this album??

probably..i mean just 4 new songs cant do justice for her 20th.
I sense a BEST album then..i dunno...what else could she have LOL
ONLY YOU sounds..alright at the moment lol

[MissElin_]

This album is gonna be pure awesomeness. I really can't wait! 27th... It's like 2 days after I've moved back to Japan. Glorious.

ONLY YOU sounds, "naaah". But that I thought about Love Story too at first and it turned out to be one of my biggest Namie ballads favs ever.

[toniayu]

ONLY YOU is fully in english??I really hope she's thinking of make her international debut and a world tour too *O*

Seriously, I hate the massive production. Best album for her 20th is not necessary while a new album is going to be out in summer. She has just released a best album "Checkmate!" last year. A new best album this year is definitely no no no no.

[Heavenly]

Maybe this album is just the "Part I"
Still hope she'll make a double album this year... To get more new material !

The first album to commemorate Namie's 20th Anniversary will go on sale June 27th!!
This is the first album in two and a half years with all original material, following the "PAST<FUTURE" album which went No.1 in 5 different countries in Asia.
It is slated to have 13 songs consisting of 9 singles and 4 new songs which include hot dance tracks!! The CD+DVD version will have music videos for 11 songs including videos for the 4 new songs!!
Here are the latest photos for one of the new songs "ONLY YOU"!!

And it's a song for the people who always support her.

finally English song!!!!!

[Rocky Raven]

Longer Preview, i love her English <3

[Not Fade Away]

It definitely DOES sound like 'Just the Way You Are', but I loveeee the fact that it's all in English and that it's meant for her supporters, it gives the song a lot more meaning. <3

[melina_t]

Woo-hoo! And ha, ha, ha to all the doubtfuls thinking we were going to get one next year.
Well, I just hope I'll be able to preorder on time for first press.

[Corvina]

Wow, a new album!
Just 4 new songs is a bit small, but as they're all getting a PV... and it's great for people who aren't buying every single from her. Like me.

I don't know how I feel about ONLY YOU, especially that it's completely in English. I always have problems understanding her English to be honest. Let's see how it turns out.

Break It/Get Myself Back still is my favourite single from this era, I love both songs so much!

That was my first thought, too.
It's so awesome that Kuu, Ayu, and Namie are all releasing new albums this year!
