[Namie Amuro] Let Namie drive it cause she's the SPEED STAR in her 40th thread!

[Alessia_Tateno]

And so her fans XD Dancers surely stay more time with Namie than fans since they need to practice and stuff =) How can you say it's a FACT when you also said that it's just what you read and everyone in this world has their bad moments? Have a no no moment in front of the fan doesnt mean the artist has a history of behaving like a total diva..you make it sound like she does (and did) that ALL the time.

Juicy: yeah she look pale but I think (and hope) it's just the flash..because in the previous picture (and in the news report video) her skin color is just normal.

[jbrat2219]

I couldn't imagine Namie of all people being a diva at all... I'd expect that from Ayu more than Namie...

[mcluva420]

^totally, just like how some ppl think namie is the wild girl when ayu is more wild

Sweet Pea, I do my research when I make a claim. And if you've read my past posts clearly you would have read that these claims are also reported to magazines in Japan in which are scanned and transpired onto the internet and actual Japanese citizens comment about these incidents on their blogs. And she has had many incidents of outlandish behavior not just in front of fans obviously.
In the past she's even apologized and discussed these issues. So I know what I'm talking about. Of course not everyone (including you) is going to know about these incidents because Avex does not want her reputation to deteriorate so they dismiss these issues in a timely manner. I stated everyone has their bad moments because I didn't want to make it seem as if I had a vendetta against her. And no she does not lash out all the time, she does it when she's under a lot of pressure like all human beings.
And I had no intention of making her come across as an incessant brat. I adore Namie believe me I do, ALL I WAS SAYING is the video reminded me of what I came across in the past. No need to get all defensive.

Goodness, you say one little thing and people start throwing rocks at you!

not really, only one person throwing rocks at you...

namie fans normally wouldn't over-react to criticisms unlike the 'A' fans here...

[love in music]

wow tomiko, it sounds like she really does have a bad attitude. oh well, i'm not a fan of her for her attitude i just like her music and i probably would never go to a namie concert so i don't really care~ but i agree this sort of stuff makes me grateful for ayu, she's like the whole package

[mcluva420]

^yes, pretty much .
I also feel lik namie has the whole package too, sort of..
I always though Namie would act like any typical mother, and sometimes goofy from her blogs
Oh how i wish i could understand japanese

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

tomiko, i can offer you some support haha. i know someone (through someone else) who danced as one of namie's backup dancers for a live performance a few years ago and she said the namie had a really bad attitude. and many japanese fans that i talk to say that she has a "better than you" type of attitude.

I just don't want people to think that namie can't do any wrong. i don't think people would say things like this if they weren't being influenced by something namie has done. I mean ayu has a diva reputation too *shrug* but every singer handles things differently. obviously namie doesn't feel that she has to have long MC sessions with her fans or anything.

First of all, calm down.

It's ok if you say that she has a bad attitude etc but saying it's a FACT it's a little bit harsh don't you think? and what you say about magazines is true but when a person get hand of those magazine and post it on the net there is no way that avex or any management company can do to make you close the blog or delete the post (well as long as you don't add something very bad I guess), because we still have freedom to write what we think about a gossip on our blog (or at least I always did so on my japanese and italian blogs ^^)

I am not throwing rocks at you, I was very calm when I wrote quoting your messages but you wrote it like she is a total diva like and always behave like that (even you explained that only in the last message, and I repeat, I agree with you..EVERYONE in this world has bad moments.)

If you read magazines you also know that Namie is shy and that's why probably she doesn't give too much confidence to the public.

LOL Namie said that her son told her that he thinks she is old so she made a belly piercing...I guess they have a good relation..I would like to see the mommy side of Namie =P

Well if you are talking about Jpop singers it's not only Ayu or Namie, I also heard about Utada Hikaru (and she looks so..normal..) and Koda Kumi and someone else I can't remind at the moment..still Ayu seems to be the one with more gossips about her diva attitude...and don't forget Seiko Matsuda XD

Anyway Namie used to talk on her tours but recently she doesn't do that..I wonder why O.o

Anyway what's the name of the dancer if I can know? I wanna make sure is not one of my teachers (even they said the opposite of her LOL).

Good, in this picture her skins looks normal ^_^

[Rocky Raven]

I love reading this ^^
"The 'Shy Queen' Amuro Namie arrived in Taiwan at 4 PM and this is her 7th visit to Taiwan.
Amuro Namie always use to wear her sunglasses, and always so shy towards the crowd. But this time she didn't appear in her sunglasses, and she's not that shy anymore! She put a cute smile on her face and waved at her fans. She even took out her cell phone and took pictures!

This is the 7th time Amuro Namie visit Taiwan, so she's pretty use to how her fans will wait at the airport just to welcome her, or even take a picture of her. Amuro Namie took picture of her fans with her cell phone. Fans said that those photos Amuro Namie took might be on her BEST non FICTION Blog.

Last night Amuro Namie and her staff went to a famous restaurant in Taipei, called 'Din Tai Fung' cost NT$1920"

Can someone tell me what is that temperature check machine they have in the airport? Why the guards couldn't pass before of their temperature? I don't understand O.O

[pommy48]

ol seems like all japanese artists that come goes there...don't see what's so special about it and expensive for little steamed buns

ah i have that article it's the apples news~


edit:

when you are coming out of your plane and going to the immigration counters, they have a little stand in the middle of the room, and as you pass, your body temperature will show up on a screen, and the officials will stop you if your body temperature is too high especially with swine flu around

They're checking for swine flu, I think if you got high temperature you could have it, but the bodyguard was just excited...

She constantly taking photos with her cellphone and she even find it funny when some of her bodyguards being retained during the temperature check, due to high body temperature!
