She really knows how to ride the wave of moment for all it's worth, bless her.

[orangeakira]

Does this mean she won't be with avex anymore?

[chocopockymaster]

It should be noted that Rising Pro Inc. is the former name of Vision Factory, who holds her management contract. It shouldn't have any bearing on her releasing records with Dimension Point, as I believe that's Namie's own sub-label at avex.

lmao im 100% sure thats exactly what happened

[lfe.]

I think its just rumors, theres been a lot of Namie leaving rumors circling, like the one last month about her possibly leaving avex.

[S4MU3L]

Rumors are going around that Namie not only went to the President and executives of Vision Factory in May and announced she was leaving, but that she’s already got her private office, which was established in June and is called “Stella88” (ステラ88).

Well I thought Avex really only handled her distribution, and maybe production of the physical product I guess....

and I had thought that she had released FEEL without them? Like she did all the everything on her own? But I can't really remember...

I'm sure she'll be fine though

[lfe.]

Well shes trying to break from Rising Pro/Vision Factory so she wants to do everything outside her music on her own too, media appearances, magazine photoshoots, endorsement deals, merchandise tie-ins, etc. I'm sure she'd be fine too, she doesn't need a manager to book these things anymore, they are just using her as a cash cow.

On a lighter note:

[ayu_ready?]

preeeeeeeeeeeettttyyyyy

[orangeakira]

She's on so many book and magazine covers sometimes I feel like half her thread is nothing but posts about how pretty she looks. I see the thread name in bold and I'm thinking "oh man there must be news about her tour or upcoming single, or music video or whatever" and then I realize it's like 10 posts in a row about how she looks nice. Then someone posts another picture of her on a different magazine cover, and the cycle starts all over again. lol

[ak.malfoy]

I'm feeling worried about that management issues she's putting herself into... I hope this doesn't end up like Suzuki Ami's fate with her old management.

[BlackSilence]

odd how big names are slowly walking away from their old management companies lol

God, that's the last thing I wanna see x_x. But I think Namie has a lot of back up with her, already has her own label (I think) and her fanbase has probably tripled in the past couple of years...so I don't see anything terrible happening (I hope *crosses fingers*).

And Ami's was alot more controversial, wasn't it? (From what I read on wiki) It was all because her management got convicted and her parents fought back...? Idk, it sounded like she was in a much worse situation to me.

[Celaphorce]

Sooooo I just ordered Namie's Ballada piano sheet music from CDJ can't wait for it to come in, not sure which song I want to learn first but definitely excited for it!! Maybe Dreaming I Was Dreaming...ooh or the ballad version of Contrail.

On another note or more of an inquiry anymore news about the new tour, and when does it officially start? Would also love to hear about a new single already considering she has a couple songs we've all heard about but no official release has been confirmed for any :/ at least I know whatever she's working on will be of quality...my oh my was that a runon sentence LMFAO XD

[mi|kshake]

^Yeah, I'm dying to see the setlist for the tour!

[Celaphorce]

I would love another Please Smile Again performance a la So Crazy tour, maybe with a newer song though I've had an intense obsession with pole dancing ever since First Love and it'd be awesome for her to revisit that concept. Looking into buying one myself soon they're a great form of exercise but when you fall and don't catch yourself before you hit the ground it's not the greatest feeling in the world, and bruising...omg not sexy on the legs but once you get used to it it's definitely a piece of cake lol. Anyways as I was saying it'd be nice to see her perform a song with a pole again.
