[Namie Amuro] She's Asking The "Dr." To Help Her "Defend Love" in her 52nd Thread

[Picaflor 7/4]

Got my past<future album yesterday. I don't know if anyone has really looked at it in person. it hurts my eyes. @___@ she basically spammed the less than symbol everywhere she could possibly fit it including the back, inside, and cd fronts. Also I don't like how the booklet just sits on top of the cds,when i hold it upright its falls out. I think it would have been cool if the inside, that looks like the paper is ripped, lifted up to hold the booklet or something. otherwise I have to keep it inside the plastic casing. (which me not being a huge stan and trying to keep a mint collection, I don't hold onto the plastic casings, which for this one time I made an acception)

Otherwise I'm completely happy with my cd. and I'm glad she's smiling for once on the magazine cover too. she always looks bored or something in all her videos anymore.

[ville]

^ i usually keep my CDs in their original plastic wrappings...
and i think that P<F digipak is not so handy as BF digipak cause in BF digipak the booklet is firmly in place :<

but, i still think that having a limited edition digipak is much more nicer than a regular edition cd case

Yeah I remember seeing it and thinking that if I looked at it too long I would get a headache lol.

Well, we're just full of complaints, aren't we? XD

But honestly though, I'm not a big fan of this digipack or whatever it's called. It doesn't stay closed when I lay it flat, so I just put it back in that resealable sleeve it came in.

[KarenPang]

I have a few digipak albums in my room so I understand where Picaflor 7/4 is coming from in that he puts the album back in the plastic wrapping

my Ken Hirai's Ken's Bar II album is also packaged in this manner & yeah it's a bit annoying

I cannot put it in a manner on how a normal CD is being felt if you guys know what I mean

if the digipak for PAST < FUTURE has a pocket just like what happened for BEST FICTION's , it will be better

[aznranie]

I can't help but notice the Fabruary LOL February!!! XD

[dreamland2.0]

bahaha maybe it's supposed to be like FAB-ruary?!?! As in it's fab?! No, no it's probably just bad engrish...

I also felt very dizzy when staring at the Past<Future packaging.... all those zig-zags

[jiarongisme]

I wonder if it's a really bad pun or it's engrish. Hmm.

Tomoya Nagase was under Johnny's too, right? I don't think he ever did a press conference with the Ayu stuff, but it was public and well known anyway... isn't that bad?

Because Johnny's having a press conference about a relationship traditionally does not happen ever but in the case of Takuya Kimura it was inevitable because he got the girl pregnant. Same thing with Namie and Sam. Many marriages, especially celebrity marriages in Japan are shotgun marriages.

Even when Johnnys are known to be in relationships, such as Ayu and Tomoya, Johnny's still keeps it as under wraps as possible. An official press conference would kill any fans hopes of being with their idol and they need to preserve that image as much as possible. (as ridiculous as that is)

For comedians and stuff though its not really uncommon at all. As for this guy, we don't even know if this press conference was specifically scheduled to deal with his relationship with Namie. He might have been there for something else but the press started asking him questions about Namie.

lol what a stupid typo there. Fabruary... :'D

Thank you for your explanation You are like a Japan oracle xD

Yes.

Thanks for helping to water down the situation a bit, as I was confused as to why there might even be a conference held for something like this. He could have actually been there for something else and they just singled out that part, or it really could have just focused on their relationship. It was a bit intrusive though. Kinda feel sorry for Namie who most likely wanted to keep her private life private. Then there are also comments I've seen bashing the poor guy. I mean, we hardly know these people personally so its really wrong to just judge. Not even going to go into detail about how 'ugly' he is. He's a pretty decent looking guy who happens to be a comedian from what I've read. Looks aren't everything.

[hpg23]

^I like him. He's not something out of this world tho, but I find he has an attractive face and manners. Maybe his teeth are a bit too big for my taste, but he's a big improvement on the looks department over Sam hahaha

I've always hoped for Haruto to get the Namie genes XDDD

Yeah, can't help but notice the teeth when he smiles. Wonder if they're veneers... or just naturally that large. His manners are what made him more attractive, he seemed really nice during the conference. Ouch! Sam was... even being a perfect gentleman could not overshadow his looks. He'd be a cutie if he took after Namie. I wonder if he can perhaps dance as well.

[Calico]

^Supposedly you see him dancing in TRF's Where to Begin PV, but I don't know if that's ever been confirmed it's him.

That! Exactly my thoughts! Why is everyone making such a huge fuss over how he looks? Yes, he's dating Namie Amuro, the Queen of Hip Pop, but she deserves someone SHE likes, who says her fans can diss him just because you don't think he is handsome enough? He's not the next Gackt or Jae Joong, but that's okay!

...I'm going to stop before I start something...

[rakeru]

Namie's pretty enough for the both of them, so it balances.

Anyway, my copy came in the mail two weeks ago, but I just realized that I got the digipack. What also surprised me was that yesterday the poster came in the mail. Since it came at the same time as You were.../BALLAD, I thought I had gotten the first press poster, but when I unfurled it-- Namie! It was completely unexpected, but since it's a lovely cover, I'm quite fine with it.

It's not so much his looks as it is his... TEETH xD; I feel like he could eat her! LOL But in all seriousness, as long as she's happy that's all that matters.

I bet her son had to approve of him hahaha.

[nemesisyume]

omg he is much hawter than namie

and yes namie wouldn't be hotter even if she would be in a house on fire
