Just seeing a more lively and engaging side of Namie is refreshing. Witnessing her display such an array of emotions and seeing her become more daring with her music has made me see her in a different light. I'm glad she's finally comfortable with herself and her image as an artist (less stoic) and you can clearly tell when you watch these newer PV's from 2011 till current. She's finally come into form and she's happy with her music again.
I couldn't agree more! She looks genuinely happy, i love her dead-pan swagger but her smile can light up everything <3
Knowing that she's enjoying what she's releasing only makes it appeal to me more.

I love her more urban stuff, but she turned me over with P<F.. She's just in her own element when she does straight forward pop imo.

Completely unrelated to our current discussion But i've made a couple of new Namie covers the last couple of days to update my iTunes.

These are SO PERFECT, thank you so much for this, they're unbelivably amazing!!

About Heaven, I'm sorry to say I'm really not that impressed. Don't get me wrong, there's really nothing wrong with it, it's nice and catchy, but I've heard this stuff EVERYWHERE nowdays. Pratically every western woman minus Taylor Swift gave me something similar. Nothing special, or original. Still fun though. And it has a very badass, supersexy and nice video, but still, Hands on Me beats all this 10-0 for me.
Now I'm so curious about the rest of the album. I'm wondering if it'll have the same effect on me of Uncontrolled, which half I really liked, half I really didn't care!XD

Thanks for sharing! I love these! Please do make more my dear.

I hate to say this but I do hope the album leaks early so I can make my final decision before the first press sells out. The only Namie album that I physically own is P<F. It's high time I bought another one.

omg it didn't just end. I need like 12 minutes of that video.

flawless queen just ****ed my brain with that song. She can do no wrong.


@Benikari: I was the same actually. A bit disappointed with those singles. I thought it was going to be another P<F for me, which wasn't totally my favorite. But then she breaks out this style and

SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS IN THIS PV

It's kind of strange seeing her with so much make-up on her eyes, but she looks gorgeous <3

Yeah...go to other countries, and they sing songs in English all day long, but it's not to cater to anyone. It's just a testament to how much English is just ingrained everywhere now.

In Japan...I guess it's not as much as other places, but I kinda believe what she says. I think she's a part of that Japanese culture that loves things Western.

OMG that video just blew me away!

I absolutely love electro dance tracks and I'm happy that Namie's dipping her toes into it! I'm still a big fan of her R&B stuff but this fresh new venture seems to be working out well for her!

I hope the album leaks REAAAALLY early!! LOL

I think if any song has a shot of going viral in the States it should be Hands on Me. It should also make FEEL end up selling more copies than Uncontrolled and perhaps even P<F. It should also be performed live for her next 5 tours.

Ridged? Do you mean rigid? lol

She just concentrates when she dances, the emotion she shows at literally any other point more than makes it up for me...if you watch the Hands On Me music video she hardly ever stops smiling.

I thought I was the only one who thought that! She has gotten better in her recent years but it's still very bad performance skills with dancing... even in her videos! Don't get me wrong, I love her and her dancing, but I wish she would perform... It's always what dancers call 'blank face'

But maybe she's one of those performers who does not like to watch themselves on screen...

As expected, she is always look beautiful in her PVs...at least looking lovely
I just love her costume and hair, the background is kinda cool too

The song is nice but I prefer dancing to Hands on Me instead XD
