Nice works. I like how you try the artworks. However, most of them will be difficult to produce and print them out with stand out color.

The color in printing can be different from on screen in your works. It could look very not attractive. I got disappointed to my works for my clients all the time because the color was not what I expect.

The printing industry is still quite old school while digital industry have been changing a lot.

^^ Really nice edits!!


I'm finally starting to really dig this album. I still think it's a weak album as a whole, but now I'm really liking all songs individually

Time for a lengthy review. Well kinda.
If I like the song, then there's not much to say...

Spoiler:

Alive:
I absolutely love it. It's so unoriginal yet it somehow sounds so fresh.
10/10

Rainbow:
My first album track. I rearrrrry loved the retro gaming sounds. It was a very nice touch.
10/10

Can you feel this love:
This is where things get funky. It's repetitive BAD, not good. It's cute, but oh so annoying. I like how electronic it is, but meh. Sounds like a reject koda kumi cute song. Melting>>> can you feel this love.
5/10

Big boys cry:
A nice baseline and funky instruments seep through this song, but falls flat due to lack of a proper climax or due to boring arrangements.
7.5/10

Hands on me:
Love love love. A summer jam for years to come!
10/10

Heaven:
The song has grown on me, but now it is growing off me. Repetitive, but not good repetitive, like hands on me and alive.
8.5/10

Poison:
It's alright. I like the arrangement, but it does nothing. Overall average.
6/10

La la la:
Not to be confused with kumi koda's annual rock song with two extra la's. Trust me, some sites aren't word sensitive... Anyway, it's ok. Nothing too special, but the arrangement is quite fresh.
7.5/10

Supernatural love:
A swagger filled song with namie's heavily autotuned yet confident vocals. Overall highly repayable.
8.5/10

Let me let you go:
It's not rearry good, but not rearry bad. I'm a sap for piano ballads... When actual artists sing them. I can't connect to ballads unless the singer wrote and or composed it (arranged it too is good). So this ballad is nothing but fodder to make fun of things in real life, like only you was in 2012. I always told people that they can't take the lime. Now it's 'dropped by your house to see who you are'. I still like it though. I'll forget about it when I play Sakura nagashi or even dearest.
8/10

Contrail:
The versus sound as dead as namie usually looks. The chorus is crack. But overall, I absolutely love it. It's reaaaarrrry good.
10/10

Stardurst in my eyes:
Namie hit the money with this. Her producers ripped off many artists and it worked.
10/10

In fact, I can honestly say that namie ripped off many other artists with this album YET did it 200% better. Kudos to her and her team. The whole album sounds like a top 40 album, with bits of kpop in supernatural love (mind, modern kpop is usually a western music rip off anyway, but that's another thread worth of discussion). Despite this, namie's producers still did it better. The album is cohesive and works as a piece somehow.... Its hot, flashy, sexy, cute, suave and bold among others. But I'm not complaining, especially when the music is good.
I don't know if it was namie who decided to sound as good as she does, or if she was told to, but somebody is doing their job properly and it shows.

9/10 overall (not an average)

Unfortunately, I still do not care for namie in the slightest. I like her music, but not her. I think it's because she's not 'involved' as much as I'd like or as much as I know. I remember her saying that she wanted to be more involved in her music. I wonder why she stopped dead after free on QOHP.

So far, best album of 2013. Eastern and western. No artpop or 40/40 experience can knock this album off its pedestal.

^^^ I'm sorry, but Melting better than Can You Feel This Love... I think Melting's one of Kumi's worst song, ever.

^ which shows how much I do not like CYFTL.
Melting is better because it's borderline trashy pop goodness.

Still so in love with this album. Listened to it in the car alll the way home.

It's funny, I was listening to two Ultra Blue songs and then Contrail came on, and it kinda reminded me of hikki. It's obviously not experimental genius like hikki is, but hikki is really good at doing these big songs, that have gorgeous melodies and arrangements, and Contrail is like that.

It's very grand, and just beautiful. I think the album in general has some really gorgeous melodies that are delightfully catchy. The arrangements might be basic, but all the layering, and especially all her vocal layers...everything is just soo ~pretty~.

As much as everyone says the songs are all mainstream edm, the variety is great. Highs, and lows, dancy songs, ghetto songs.

LaLaLa is soo beach-y. I love it. Best Namie album muahahaha
