[Namie Amuro] GROTESQUE. the 82nd thread

[marty]

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME IN GROTESQUE PV.
He is awesome being all manly man with a girl's voice.
Namie is awesome being all sophisticated, dead and GORGEOUS.
The songs is awesome and supercatchy.
I love the concept, the black and white, and I ADORE THAT BUNNY.
(Ugh. My Donnie Dark feelings are not under control right now. I'm gonna go watch that perfect movie tonight.)

[Heavenly]

The parts with Namie reminds me YEAH-OH PV a bit...
But the whole video is cool, and aestistic ^^

[pimenta]

I think the pv is kind of boring and badly edited. You can totally see an outline around them when the background is black...

And I still can't bring myself to like his vocals >_<

[Tom Punks]

oh my god that was the most awkward pv i've ever seen

i don't think she could POSSIBLY have been more disengaged???

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Can't like this song. Just won't be happening for me she looks good though
Can't believe he's 42!

[CoriKaru]

I agree with the disengaged statement. But it's very well possible they never even met to shoot this video and did it completely separate. Like Brandy and Monica in "The Boy Is Mine". Although I think I saw them together in that behind the scenes YouTube clip so maybe not. And I bring that song up because I'm getting all kinds of "The Boy Is Mine" feels from this. Sorry Ken.

And with that said....I LOVE THIS VIDEO and it definitely made this song better, although I was liking what I heard of the song anyway. But everything is on point. Could have been better and more involving in addition to all of the revolving, but what was there on display was still good.

Love the concept. Something different. Namie would have never had a Rabbit Judge Bangin' a Gavel up in any of her works! Thank you Ken.

Also, when Namie stepped out in that white outfit, I thought she had a cape behind her and I was about to give all my lives to her, until I realized it was just the graphics inside the doorway behind her.

But that black dress was still giving me Angelina Jolie on the Red Carpet vibes with all that leg hanging out. She looked like Mrs. Roger Rabbit sans the red hair and near 'bout took my life and killed me anyway.

Sidenote: What was Hirai doing with his tongue? And why did he turn Amish? I didn't think they believed in divorce.

He went from fierce right down to Horse & Buggie and gave any life Namie took from me right on back. Thanks a lot Ken.

Song is a better version of Make It Happen. Video is a boring version of Yeah-Oh.

Couldn't agree more, although she looked amazing all-throughout

This is what I thought watching the video and hearing the song for the first time,too

But I think the video is as good as the Yeah-Oh PV.

Nothing will EVER beat namie x yamashita tomohisa and the UNUSUAL pv. They're deadly perfect for each other.

Yamashita is a good looking guy, i'll say that. But he sounds like a dead, prostituted goldfish in UNUSUAL

YES. I can't tell you how much I agree. A dead, prostituted, FEMALE goldfish.

Yeah, maybe I should try it live!

Concentration 20 is the other way round for me. At first I only liked the odd song or two, then a few years ago the whole album clicked (even Storm is kinda fun lol!). I love the dated feel of the album, it makes it feel like such a "classic" album.

Cross Over is THE jam of that album! I love it so much!

And that's right, C20 has this classic/90's sound, it's cool for a throwback I guess!
