yeah, we kinda new that.


There are a few good new-recordings among these. Dr. and Break It for example - but overall an remaster would have been enough. Or real changes like in Break It.

Finally packaging

3 CDs

Spoiler:

3 CDs + DVD

Spoiler:

3 CDs + Blu-ray

Spoiler:

People are already selling the Finally ticket application codes on Yahoo Japan Auctions , figures -_-

[Marcelo]

Does the ticket application code give any better chance to get a ticket, if you're already a Fan Space member?

[freedreamer]

Can someone provide more details on the Ticket application??
What happens for overseas fans

She must love experimenting with Break It a lot hahaha

[freedreamer]

I font understand how she sounds SOOOOO energetic in the new songs but the remakes, some are really lacking.

In Two is SICKKKKKK such an awesome dance track

[Marcelo]

In Two is really nice! I've never heard it before. Body Feels EXIT makes the album though, so good

[koumori]

Where do people buy CDs online these days? It's been years since I ordered something physically and I'm out the loop

[Corvina]

Didn't somebody ask bout the Shibuya 109 ad?
I don't know if they reshot it, but I suppose it is old, cause it's the same exact outfit and hair from the docomo CM from 1992.

Going to listem to the new songs now.

Yeah, it's really odd. Haven't been able to give the album a proper listen yet but she sounded really bored in WMWM and TSUKI threw me off too since she sings with a lower voice compared to the original.

The new version of Dr. is fantastic though. But she took out the" To Be Continued" part... I see what you did there Namie lmao

We won't know the exact details until that ticketing site opens on the 15th. But I assume the code card just allows you to submit an entry into that specific lottery. And if the lottery is the same as all the ones in the past, international fans will have no problem applying as long as you have a tickebo account.

Can anyone please say what the mastering is like? I'm waiting for my copy to arrive, honestly the only deal breaker for me would be if the songs were mastered as badly as her recent singles.

[thinkingoutloud89]

Î don't have a really good ear for that but I find them to be disjonined. I'm through CD1 now which was better overall than the few songs I heard, but I don't find the instrumentals and her voice to be that good mastered together. It sounds..I dunno...layerd?

She looks great in In Two!

Disappointed with HDYFN though since that song does nothing for me and I also don't care for TK so that's also a waste of an MV lmao.

And now I'm also mad that the MV we get for Christmas Wish on the album is both completely different and incredibly inferior to the 7-Eleven VR Music Video.

[KarenPang]

Agree , Namie looks amazing in In Two PV , I like it a lot alongside with Showtime PV

How do you feel now? & Finally PVs weren't so great D: and I think natalie.mu did mentioned the footages in the VR & album versions of Christmas Wish PV weren't going to be the same

Namie's outfit in Christmas Wish PV is a bit odd

Hmmm, that's interesting. Thanks! I just hope more than anything that they didn't ruin the songs with too much compression which would make them sound too lifeless and awful to listen to.

[Corvina]

I never was a fan of her early stuff, so I'm pretty indifferent to Disc 1. Wouldn't notice any differences.
But the hell, what did they do to some of her newer songs? Like Dr. or Break It?
They sound soooooo lifeless now...

From the new songs I like In Two and How do you feel now? and Showtime.
Do It For Love is still so annoying (whoever thought that chorus would be good).
Don't care for Hope.

[ShiniTakashi]

The last Namie album ever arrived at my door just moments ago. Such a bittersweet feeling. Can't wait to finally here all the re-recordings.

[Maemi]

The full Showtime MV.

[Baco__]

Well, I'm loving everything and I don't feel like many of you who think the songs are lifeless haha I may just don't have the ears lol

Anyway, I've received an email from fan space regarding the dome tour. If my Japanese is on point, I guess the lottery for us, fan space(rs?), will begin 11/11 and end 22/11.
