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

[OyTony]

I was at the concert on the 20th October and she performed Ballerina and Neonlight Lipstick.

Spoiler:

They used four small mirrors on each side of the catwalk and reflected the spotlights to make it look like a corridor. The choreography reminded me of the Defend Love performance at the LS tour. Namie and the dancers were in the middle of the catwalk and changed the positions from one side to the other. It looked so awesome. =D

Gah! That sounds so cool!!!!

Ok, I need this concert to be released now

[inspire_rmx]

I'm so hyped that she performed the new songs!

No one said she didn't, that wasn't the point actually...

They were just generic hip hop before though? I can understand people who really like her Past < Future sound, not liking this. I feel like, she mixed around a little more there. Even Do Me More, and WILD and such.

She actually reminds me more of Ayu for that album.

But I think the inspiration in these new songs is more about their overall feeling, and less about the specific sound. Actually, I kinda feel like her music was always about that, how they make her feel, and how she feels when she performs them.

Namie is the queen.

To the left....

[CoriKaru]

Looking at her dead cool face and then reading her exclamation point filled message of excitement is very conflicting.

It's like she's laughing that it's working when it's not even really who she is at all. Lulz.

Neonlight Lipstick and Ballerina are available on iTunes France! Didn't check other iTunes stores but I guess it's available worldwide... Love it that they don't restrict the digital releases to Japan only

[~StarCatcher~]

I can only say I really love Ballerina, because of it's dark vibe and the heavy bass.

Neonlight Lipstick is cool, too=)

I really love the new songs♥

I could understand not liking FEEL as an album (actually I can't ctfu too flawless) but if you don't like Stardust In My Eyes as a song I'm gonna need you to re-evaluate your life.

Sorry, but for me it's the most forgettable song in the album. Absolutely not bad, and I like it way more than Rainbows or CYFTL, but I keep forgeting exists. I just don't feel all this love for this song...

I don't dislike FEEL (I actually bought the album and don't regret it), listening to the songs individually they're all good, but I just never feel like listening to this album, just a few songs (I absolutely adore Contrail), I guess I don't feel it...

I guess that's it, P < F is my favorite from her

but I do love all her albums from STYLE to Uncontrolled (the older ones I just like some of the songs in them, but don't like them fully). I don't "love" FEEL though...

+1

Best not forget Contrail. Even namie brings herself back to life with that chorus (after sounding dead during the versus).

[CoriKaru]

Stardust In my eyes is Lint In My Ears. Bah.
