I assume you there is very minimum photoshop there because I saw her in person before when she was in Singapore. She looked exactly the same like how she looked in videos and photos...

Her eyes, mouth, shape of her face, jawlines, chin etc are not photoshopped because make-up, lightings and good photography made her look good all the time.

I see no photoshop, could be wrong.

SHE IS FLAWLESS

[mizuki-7]

don't be naive lol she is beautiful naturally so it is not a problem ^^

[Minttulatte]

I can't believe Dreaming I was dreaming was so close to get to be performed too. Gosh, I need a new performance of that song in my life. Gorgeous♥

And Namie's photos doesn't have much photoshop on them. She looks the most natural of the three Avex Queens (Ayu, Kuu & Namie).

I agree. This tour, however, I think the wardrobe crew wanted to go more complex and with more flash and it sorta backfired.

She's just too gorgeous....I can't even function after looking at that new promo picture

Hiya pretty lady

It's really sad how people attribute the almost magic-like talents of make up to something like photoshop. Not everyone's photoshopped you guys lol. It's just as often decent make up jobs, which.. you know.. is the whole reason make up artists are called ARTISTS

[koumori]

Oh, it's definitely been photoshopped, one way or another..but she's a gorgeous, natural beauty. No doubt about it.

Photoshop is one of the palettes of celebrity make-up these days, even if it's used just to fix the lighting, or get rid of a stray hair over the model's face. But no one is saying Namie isn't that beautiful in real life.

I've heard it all over the place this year.


The show was awesome! No big surprises for the final though - same setlist. I also doubt now that the final show will be on DVD because it didn't appear like there were enough cameras around to me. So the DVD show will probably be the Osaka one.

Also, one more thing I really took note of - Anytime one of Namie's really big hits came on there was a noticeable wave of excitement that went through the crowd (obviously not everyone is a setlist spoiler ***** like me!) but it made me think of Ayu's concerts. I think Namie not always performing her biggest hits at every show is a big plus and creates a lot of excitement for when she does perform them. Ayu doing her big tracks like Boys and Girls, Evolution etc at every show should feel more like a reward/a treat for the audience rather than be something that is expected. Anyways, just something that I was really impressed with at this show and I thought Ayu could benefit from doing the same.


Can't believe Mr. USA was so close! lol. I want that performance!

The concert was really really good! First time I got to see Namie live and she did beyond great. Just like Sunshine said, the audience went totally bananas as soon as she kicked of her smile. The energy was really on top.

The different generations in the audience was quite clear. The oldest generation was naturally most excited about the oldest songs, the amura girls was most excited about the newest songs and the middle generation naturally the half old half new songs. Then naturally everybody went crazy about the given Namie hit songs like Never End, Can you celebrate?, Baby dont cry. Within the new songs (at least at my side of the Dome) NAKED and Love Story got most cheers right when they started.

I loved how simple yet effectfull this concert was. She played a bit with the screens (and her old self in screens) lightning was from times beyond cool and the stage was very clean all the time. Really great looking concert. Namie herself was cuter than ever and very shy whenever she came out of her "Namie Amuro" alter ego. Very adorable.

I can't wait until this comes out on Blu-ray! I need to watch this soon again! The setlist was really in my taste. Great mix of old and new. She did such a great job!

^ Oh God thank you 2 for the concert preview!!! Sound awesome!
Hope that they film this final show for the Blu-ray release <3
