[Namie Amuro] 20th Anniversary | Go Round in The 68th Thread

[Not Fade Away]

20-track album for 20th anniversary, ftw....lol *not gonna happen*

If most of the new songs are anything like 'higher', then I have high anticipation for this new album.

Or if most of the songs are written/produced by Verbal then I have high anticipation ahaha...I just love every song they've collaborated on.

I'm not a huge fan of 'go round' right now so I'm hoping that won't be the direction of the new album (though I have a feeling it will be.....mrehhh) but I need to listen to it some more.

OK so then, so far we have

BREAK it
get myself back
NAKED
Fight Together
Tempest
SSWD
Love Story
Higher
Arigatou
Go round
Yeah! Oh!

So that's 11 tracks. wow. Out of these, I think (hope) only these will make it to the album:

Break it
gmb
NAKED
Love Story
go round

but I guess we'll see...

Why nobody wants Fight Together on the album? Is amazing and a big tie-in

I think that people don't want "Fight Together" on her album because they don't think that it fits her style as much as other songs she's released during this era.

^ I love when the albums are full of diferent styles, cohsesion in albums is something so useless IMO

While I agree with you about album diversity and how it can be a great aspect of an album, I don't think cohesion is completely useless. I find that Namie is able to balance both out well on her releases. I think having a cohessiveness gives an album a direction while diversity makes it more interesting. The combination of both usually makes for a better album in a sense while the complete lack of either can make an album either messy or boring. An album needs to have a good flow in order for it to be good as a whole IMO.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I wasn't thinking at all about the styles, just don't want so many already-released tracks on the album. just picked the ones which I thought made sense.

[AyusakiFan]

It's not so much the style of the song, but it's just not as Namie-ish as other songs she's released (that's more along the lines of what I was trying to say).

We should get Go Round soon... apparently it will be played on some radio station tomorrow in Japan...

Heavenly Zerase: I agree, I love that song Fight Together was my favorite song from the single.. pretty sure it has become one of my most played Namie songs ever haha

Double-A-Side Single
『Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! / Love Story』
Total Sales(updating): 156,584

Even tho i dun feel 'Go Round at all, I still hope to see the covers today (or maybe tomorrow) T_T

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Of all the singles so far, my favorite upbeat track is definitely NAKED, and my favorite ballad is Love story. Also like Higher, gmb, fight together, and tempest. damn...alright namie, go ahead girl...doing great lately. lol

[Not Fade Away]

Higher is by far my favorite...

I want more songs like Higher, Blackout (minus rapping..blech), Unusual, Black Diamond, Defend Love, Love Game, Wild, and Make it Happen. Ahahaha, okay that in itself is a CD.

Even though these are my favorite, I really haven't been hugely disappointed with her songs in a long time.

I hope she only uses like 4 old songs on the CD (or less), but who knows.

I don't know if anyone shares the same sentiment or whatever, but I really want her to do something huge for her 20th anniversary. I feel like Namie is the type of artist who is really humble and shy about that kind of stuff and maybe won't make a big deal out of it, but she should. She deserves to celebrate and go crazy because she's earned it.

[Heavenly]

^ Maybe (hopefully) a World Tour for her 20th anniversary !

[AyumiAi]

highly unlikely >.< but we can hope

[everlastingRAINBOW]

I don't think she's ever really done anything for her anniversaries, has she? Not to be buzzkillington or anything

Sit! Stay! Wait! Down! http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3414774.html

London Boots #1&2’s Tamura Atsushi is rumored to be dating Yano Mikiko. The two of them even went on a Hawaiian vacation together during the new years. But in actuality, it seems rumors have surfaced that the two of them has broken up and some people have even speculated that Atsushi has gotten back with Amuro Namie.
“Tamura and Yano won’t stop fighting. So Tamura started putting some distance between them.” Said a tv insider.
Atsushi has proclaimed that his goal for the year is not to break up with his girlfriend, it seems that he has already failed.
“When Yano drinks, she ends up fighting with Atsushi. She’s the total opposite to Namie and it seems she herself doesn’t feel as strongly towards Atsushi as before.”
On the other hand, a music insider connected to Namie said that her recent single for Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyu might be about Tamura. It’s not that the two of them wanted to break up, but it was because the two of them were too busy to work on their relationship.
“That’s why right now people have been saying they’re starting to talk again.”

^I hope so...I actually thought they were really cute together, lol.

Even though I never saw any pics of them together.

@everlastingRAINBOW you're right, she doesn't really celebrate her anniversaries. Maybe she'll finally do so for the big 2-0?

[adantatu2]

Fight Together is one of my favourites songs, isn't a really namie song, but is so nice and it fits ONE PIECE really well.
In the other hand, i hope she doesn't include get my self back and naked

[Maemi]

Guys don't tell me that this single will be released on the same date as Ayu's new album? I want the covers!!!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

OOoh ayu and Namie on the same day...add a kumi release (or miliyah or crystal kay for me) and it would be a trifecta!
