[Namie Amuro] ◍ 「TSUKI」 the 81st thread ◍

[visionfactory]

It's just that AKB creator found the need on people of meeting idols and he applied that for selling CDs. In AKB there are even special CD release events called "2shot events" when you sit beside your idol and take a picture with her.

This fantasy/airy sound just got me right there. Not to mention her vocals, sound so free and effortless in it to me. I was like "wow she can do stuff like that?! well then count me in!" would have never became a fan if not for that song. It probably got me because it reminds me a bit of KOKIA's arrangements and style.And i am a sucker for that. As for Get Myself Back...the melody cklicked with me instantly and even tho it does have electro influenced stuff in there, somehow it doesn't bother me at all. And the song itself is very uplifting. GMB and Tempest must be my two most fave songs from Namie.

Tempest is one of my favourite Namie Amuro songs

Am I missing something here? You're talking about Tsuki right? What DJ Amaya does is considered electro. Tsuki is not electro. It's not even electro "inspired". If anything, Ballerina is the dance sounding song.

[Delicious n Bold]

Let's not front and say that Tsuki wasn't dipped in electro, because if you listen well, you can her electro influences.
It's not a bad thing as I really like namie + electo.

[Minttulatte]

Those electro elements in the song are heard clearly in the instrumental. It doesn't sound that electro when you listen the version Namie sings in. At least I didn't hear anything but when I listened to the instrumental I was surprised that there is a slight electro sound there. But it doesn't stop me from loving the song. Electropop Namie does is awesome♥

[S4MU3L]

Tempest is good but Namie has like 15 better ballads in my opinion

[NintendoHTF1242]

I can't stand Tempest lol

[ILoveGeniuses]

Tempest for me is one of those songs where when I have my Music Library on shuffle I have to check what song it is once it begins playing. I like it when I hear it, but I don't remember it well enough to recognize it immediately.

[Delicious n Bold]

I'll only ever play Tempest if I'm playing Uncontrolled completely.

[SKYia]

I skip Tempest now just as I skip Let me let you go, these song have something in them that made me think "wow, they are awesome' at first listening but after second or third I thought the chorus is boring. To me tempest could end at 1:24 and become an intro that way (although I like the bridge). As for Let me let you go, I just wish she interchanged the phrase 'let me let you go' into some other words with each line because again it's painfully repetitive to me.

As for her ballads I prefer (although they have flaws as well) 'Wishing on the same star" (we sing on the same star, ghhhh), beautiful (no supplies, ughhhhhhh) and also ballads with no flaws like Love Story, The meaning of us, Get myself back and some that I'm not sure if they are ballads (eg Can you celebrate).

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I've never thought it sounded like "We sing on the same star".... Sounds like what she's supposed to be saying to me. Also, I quite like LMLYG, but it's not my all time favorite. I'll say that much. My favorite ballad (or closest thing to one) on FEEL was Contrail though, but it's more of a mid-tempo. Also, I ADORE TMOU & GMB SOOOOO MUCH. Oh and its quite old, but I'm REALLY fond of "think of me".

[SKYia]

btw, I just found this and I'm confused, is "wishing on the same star" Namie's original song, a Japanese cover or did she buy it like Ayu bought "tell me why" or "memorial address" ??

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I forget the name of the group but Wishing on the Same Star was originally by some group from the 1980s

[thinkingoutloud89]

I HAVE NEVER SEEN is her best ballad by far, and anyone who thinks otherwise talsk in foreign tongues. NEVER END is a close second...but haven't decided on that yet.

I love Never End but for some reasons I kind of don't think of it as a ballad (though not sure what to call it), but as for 'I have never see' I guess I heard it once but didn't like it.

I can't wait for the Feel Tour dvd

[thinkingoutloud89]

well, the slow version on the LE singles collection is nice but I also don't like it that much, the original is love and tear wrecking tough. It just somehting about it that makes me feel good and bad inside at the same time..its so calm and unforced

[Queen Bee]

I've just watched her new Kose CM on her Facebook page and all I can say is I love her smile. Her smile makes me smile.

[UHPlus]

Watch the new commercial https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151855084547551

[Lady~Deviance]

I LOVE the commercial but I find the new song "Still Loving You" quite boring.

Oh well, at least 'TSUKI', as a whole singe-wise, was great.

SHE'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!
