[Namie Amuro] GROTESQUE. the 82nd thread

[Heavenly]

Old songs with today's voice are much better. Less squeeky voice of Namie.
But definitely not my style XDD (ballady R'n'B aren't my cup of tea...)

The PV are quite good though.

HimAWArI is a bit weird, the image of this song is clearly Hawaii = Himawari = Outside.. I mean not futuristic at all!

I agree. I really love the boat scene in Four Seasons.

^Yeah, proof that they can do a good job even with green screen

I love them, Himawari is very old-school. Four Seasons could've had more outdoor shots tho.

They never had

I still can't get over how gorgeous she looks in the Four Seasons PV! I have to agree about the seasons parts looking cheap, but the parts with her on the boat are visually stunning imo.

I liked the previews!
Yeah, those backgrounds in Four Seasons look kinda cheap, lol. But, tbh, it's the idea that seems a little bit lazy and obvious. Pretty though!

This is the first I'm listening to these songs, and I don't like them :X

Her old songs (before Best Fiction) are not for me.

[visionfactory]

Her 2003 songs are the best out in her discography (Including SUITE CHIC)

Himawari has win my heart~~!! ^_^

Her BEST FICTION songs are her old song before Best Fiction themselves.

These songs are no doubt one of her best. I feel pity for you.

I've always loved 4 seasons and I think the video is really pretty.

[Surreal17]

Four Seasons looks stunning! Himawari is nice as well, reminds me of Ballerina Pv but it's kinda boring.

i agree. i can't even get into the majority of best fiction (maybe 4 songs are alright). past<future was the absolute correct title, as that is when her material became accessible to me.

Look forward to watching the PVs when I get my Blu-ray! Hope we can some clips/photos from the S19B and CYC PVs soon!

chill out for god's sake o_O

HimAWArI's lyrics talk about being in a white room, so that part of the PV is right, but I wonder where they're going with the futuristic theme

[cosmicfirefly]

I think the full video of HimAWArI matches well with the lyrics. Though there doesn't seem to be any specific reason why they used the futuristic theme, I liked it. I wish she had used the dogs more, they kind of show up for only a few seconds, and in the background.

[visionfactory]

You guys think that ballads will be the new Amuro fashion?

I mean after this album maybe she releases new ballad single and it's certified gold or platinum (last time she got gold was in 2011)

[adantatu2]

Her ballads sell great, maybe she'll keep releasing them with upbeat songs in double a-side singles

[Rocky Raven]

HimAWArI MV with its futuristic theme represents the extreme solitude T_T
