[Namie Amuro] The 77th Official Thread「FEEL」

[freedreamer]

Hearing the album in 320kbps makes it so amazing

[terra]

Alive is as I expected!?...oh well the teaser is really the PV bits then, they could do better job next time

and I LOVE the album! It's definitely better than Uncontrolled as it's more cohesive in sound than Uncontrolled, haven't decide my new favorite songs yet xD

[thinkingoutloud89]

so
the album is amazing, but I wish for a more J-poppy album next time. It is just no J-pop anymore...I don't mean the cutesy **** but the language. I listen to japanese music because of the language. Not that I dislike Namies english but..well you get my point

that said, alive, heaven and poisen are my favs so far. beautiful and damage both wouldn't have fit on the album. she made a good choice (unlike with the speed star which was very fitting!)

[toLOVE]

Haven't hear any of the new song, waiting for my CD to come. I'm really happy to read all these good reviews. I feel like this album will be as good as PLAY (to me that is). I hope Namie's going to sing another English album, haha.

[Not Fade Away]

Better than Play even, IMO, but I just love the dance songs so much that it's like pure Eargasm.

Supernatural Love is so FIERCE.

No hating on Play, I just know that Play has more skippable songs on it for me than FEEL does at this moment.

I'm having a hard time skipping any songs on FEEL other than like LMLYG and BBC.

^It's definitely better than PLAY, while i adore that album it does have some filler. Not bad per say, but i find the songs on FEEL much more memorable.
Past<Future is my favorite album, but FEEL is right behind it! God i'm having it on repeat and it just get's better and better!

I made a new cover for the album btw, to fit the sound more than my old one!

Alive is the most pointless PV ever but I ain't even mad because the album is just so good.

It's a good day to be a Namie fan

I LOVE THIS EVEN MORE THAN THE REAL COVER!!!

EDIT: Also, I wonder when we'll see the FEEL Tour Goods. I DEFINITELY wanna get some of them. Oh, and is there anywhere online where you can buy those Namie Dolls she releases? Even her Facebook Store doesn't have 'em....

[Benikari47]

The "Alive" PV is actually not that bad, yes it's disappointing and a disgrace to waste such an amazing track (Progress all over again). But it's tastefully done and the special effects looked really cool. I think not showing pictures, but actual footage of her singing the song from the FEEL shoot on the billboards would've been better and actually made it decent. Like she's following you around the city being the queen of Tokyo and shizz.

On the other hand, i don't even mind it.. She shouldn't spoil us more than she already has, our hearts wouldn't be able to take it
Big Boys Cry sounds so random on this album though haha

Thank you dear! <3

I hope for her 12th album Namie lets Nao'ymt produce more songs, brings back T.Kura, Michico, Shinichi Osawa, and keeps Steven Lee. Steven's production for "Supernatural Love" and "Neonlight Lipstick", despite being auto-tuned atrocities to many people, is great.

I'm glad Namie decided to work with more international producers (to get it out of her system), but the songs seem to lack novelty because of it. But that's due to my over-saturation of Western music I guess.

For some reason I find her Asian produced songs more innovative and timeless.


The packaging for all three editions of the album is flawless. Especially those back covers.

I agree, I'm not against this album, let's call it 'an experiment',but in the future I hope she will not multiply the albums & sound like this one

[ak.malfoy]

Oh my goodness, I just LOOOVE this album! No filler materials for me, though LMLYG really could've been better.

This will be the perfect summer album for me!

[R_Hikki]

Album of the year for me honestly. I haven't been this excited for an album since PLAY.

"Rainbow" and "Stardust In My Eyes" make me think of Adventure Time, I love it

[Chiharo]

Okay, I'm on LMLYG and so far (listening to the whole album), it's really not bad as I expected it to be. I actually like the album quite a lot. Isn't this Namie's shortest album running time wise? It's only about 42 minutes long. Still, a pretty good album. And very upbeat at that. But I really like it. There's something about it that makes me like it even if it's very mainstream.

[adantatu2]

My favourites songs are the songs with music videos, the songs in the album aren't bad, but, in my opinion they're forgettable.

[Me, Myself & Music]

I really like the album, I think it's a solid effort, especially after Uncontrolled, that album just did nothing for me.

But Feel.... There's only 1 or 2 songs I didn't really care for my first listen.

Now to decide what version I'm going to purchase.

[jean-baptiste]

The first 6 tracks and LMLYG are really good. The rest will grow on me.

[chikocchi]

EDM is not a genre that I really like
Every now and then it's enjoyable, but an album full of it?
No thanks. :\
And like others said, this is just songs that sound like Top 40 tracks
Doesn't mean they're bad, it's just there's nothing special about them

Disappointed with this release

[pimenta]

Honestly, I feel a bit disappointed
Namie has to STOP singing all the songs in English... This album sounds too american generic pop for my taste D:
None of the songs are bad, they're all nice, some are actually really good, but the album as a whole becomes a little to much...
For me it's not even close as good as Past > Future or PLAY, and I'm not even sure if I can say if it's better than Uncontrolled (as for now, after listening to FEEL as a whole for the first time, I still prefer Uncontrolled over it).

But maybe I was expecting too much, I had really high expectations for this album...
Oh, well, let's wait and see, I'm not in my best mood right now for some personal reasons and that's probably making me more narrow minded to judge the album, I'll listen to it as a whole again another time and I'll probably have a better opinion about it
But I have a strong feeling that I'm going to end up enjoying the individual songs more with the time and that's going to make the whole album grow on me...

For me Contrail is by far the best song in the album (), I already loved Alive, Big Boys Cry and Hands on Me, I also liked Heaven despite it being so generic, and Let Me Let You Go full is even more beautiful than the preview. For the tracks without PVs I really like Supernatural Love, but the others still have to grow on me. Maybe I should listen to them individually later instead of listening to the whole album to have a better opinion...


On the other hand, I actually enjoyed Alive's PV! Just those birds and those flying papers gathering in the air that kind of ruined it a little LOL

[freedreamer]

Can anyone make a audio/video digest of this album? I wanna share it so badly hahaha!
gonna start my morning with this album now. it really gets me pumpin'
