[Namie Amuro] She Makes You Believe In A Ballerina In Namie's 80th Thread

[chikocchi]

so disappointed that namie is going down this path musically
i can't stand this style of music and it really upsets me because i love namie's older works

[& + H]

"Anything you want me to do
I can do you, I can do you
From corner to corner, from behind
Up to my face, all over
Baby, let me taste it, taste it
A conversation without words
Up & down, in & out
Do it like this, bounce wit me

Want me, want me, it just popped
The button in my heart, we're too impatient
Wait a minute, hold on
Let's calm down and control our pace
We're having a hard time, like a virgin
But don't forget the Trojan
I am oochie, la la poppin' coochie
Without being able to hold yourself back, want me, baby"


My favorite sex lyrics, I used to wonder if she knew what she was singing.

[Minttulatte]

^I've always loved that "I am oochie, la la poppin' coochie" part of that song. It's so cool. XD And that song's so hard to sing because the chorus is so fast. :p

And as a whole when it comes to sex songs I used to hate those in 2006 so much. I thought all those singers who sing songs like that are probably sluts or something but these days I actually find myself liking those kind of songs. And I think Namie and Kuu got the best ones. They always seem to have much deeper insight to those things even in those songs and I love that.

[Zeke.]

Lol how can anyone take those lyrics seriously..? They are kinda disgusting and rather blunt, lmao.

[pimenta]

^ I don't know, for me I like it because I find it so funny, because Namie isn't like Kuu who can sing a sexy song while actually acting sexy (I love when she does sexy songs btw), Namie's songs have more explicit erotic lyrics and yet she can't act sexy at all, which makes me think she doesn't even truly understand what she's singing to begin with (of course I know she does, but I think it's funny anyway)

But I can't talk unbiased about this tbh, WANT ME, WANT ME is most probably my top favorite Namie song, I love the melody and the lyrics actually make me laugh so much when I think it's (the super cute and shy) Namie who's singing them

I can't take WANT ME, WANT ME seriously either. XD

I always thought Namie did this really well actually.

She's not in your face dancing with it, or with her outfits the way Koda is. The only thing really out there are the lyrics.

She's very subtle with things.

Narrow? I just know very well what i like and what i take things for and I admire creative people, Namie, however is chosing very blunt stuff..but then again it's Namie, not Ayu, i guess i'm just expecting too much, but she does have songs that have great lyrics.

she is subtile with those that's true! but the lyrics is what i am talking about, if her lyrics would be written more cleverly it wouldn't bother me that much...because i do have songs i absolutelly love from other artists that are talking about naughty stuff and they are just done so well that it just sounds sinfully sexy but not like it was written by a porn star while she was reading the script for her next movie or something...i just find that stuff kind of cheap *shrugs*

Truth, but i see nothing classy about that there *shrugs*

Well, I guess just concentrate on what you like. Every fan will like different portions of her career. Just try not to take every song seriously.

[Zahara]

So I guess no one has any Feel ringtones?

Ballerina is my jam. Love that song.

[pommy48]

^ if you have a smartphone! there are many apps for it!
If not, you can always cut out parts you like with Audacity (free software)

Namie is one artist where I just listen for fun. I don't try to find deeper meaning in her lyrics~

And judging from her popularity in Japan, I doubt japanese fans care either

[aloopy]

Namie has never been about lyrics though, not even in her earlier days, so it's kinda odd if you expect her lyrics to be all insperational and stuff lol. She only has some songs with great lyrics, and only a handful of which she wrote herself.

Not really feeling either of the new songs, a step down from FEEL imo, she can do better. Looking forward to what's next tho

[Heavenly]

It's fun saying that she's subtle with sex thanks to her lyrics, considering she doesn't write her lyrics

But she agrees to sing them

It never occurred to me to think about Namie lyrics seriously, lol! She's so clearly made for dancing, and having fun, and looking cool. That's what her singer image is about, and I think is amazing and I love her for that.
Lately, I'm really stuck in this fantasy when Ayu just goes to Namie (and her team) and ask her (them) to become her manager. Namie seriously has a wonderful promotional strategy. Like, she didn't even thought about releasing Ballerina and Neonlight Lipstick if not digitally, and, as much as I'm sad because I love my phisical cds so much, I think that's brilliant. Damn.

Namie's gotta feed Haruto somehow.

Are the singles anywhere available for download in MP3? 320kbps?
