Stranger - 03.36

I wonder if it's just a coincidence or there is meaning behind it...
You're welcome

Maybe because she works with Western producers so they opted the usual 3 minutes length, Western music general length is about 3 minutes isn't it?

Not a meaning, but maybe just want to make something unique....

But yes maybe just a coincidence, we will see the rest of the album, if it's all around on the same duration then I think it's not a coincidence...

Yeah, I don't think there's a meaning to the 4 tracks we have all being around 3min 30sec. Like Terra said, she's working with more Western producers and that's normally the average length for English songs. The demo for Be Who I Want 2 Be for example was only 3 minutes long (...although it did fade out before the song actually ends I think).

Anyways, I'm really loving everything we've gotten so far. This is really shaping up to be another fun album.

And while I personally love leaks, I can't help but feel a bit sad for Namie that Photogenic leaked. (I don't mind Golden Touch, Fashionista and Stranger leaking since we'll be getting PVs for them in the coming weeks lol). Hopefully the rest of the album doesn't leak this week since we still have another month to go.

It does make me wonder how they're leaking so early though (and in pretty HQ too). I don't think this has ever happened to any other album from her.

I like Photogenic. Reminds me a bit of 60s 70s 80s .
Stranger reminds me of Heaven and a bit of Alive. Fashionista could easily be included on Past Future.

it's nice background music, what i've heard so far...they are all so repetitive. They are not bad but really nothing outstanding. I need more oomph in them. Feels like they don't have any build up, like if you heard half of it, you heard it all. The only one that doesn't bother me with that is Photogenic. which i really enjoy.

"Photogenic" is just more proof of how perfect "_genic", will be. It's so unbelievably catchy! I can't get the "you know I'm always photogenic, freaking photogenic" parts out of my head! I love it so much.

As much as I would looove to hear the whole album already...I think I can wait just a bit longer, to listen to the rest of the songs. Right now, I'd love to see some PVs! Hopefully soon!

Her Facebook just posted this, promoting "Anything" I guess:

Quote:
HOPELESS, FEARS, FALL, STOP YOUR SHINE, XXXXXXXX
This scene is negative yet...
but there still is more to look forward to.

Let's just throw random japanese and see if the shit sticks to the wall. Oh Namie. What was she thinking.
Like it takes two to tango right? Here's the lyrics to my new japanese song:
食ぼろをバナナに大切さが気がしないで欲しい物まで好き

Rant over. I feel better now.

This is interesting. It seems like she's set up a separate channel dedicated entirely to "Anything": https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKy...Ba-14FJDBg215w

There's nothing public on the channel, but it's where she's hosting the videos for those 5 creepy clips on the website.

Also... the channel banner gives us a sneak peak of the PV perhaps?


"Anything" for Google Chrome? Maybe a special Google Chrome extension or theme is coming?

That aside, how's her music? Is it good?

This is VERY interesting, an user in jpopcentral said:


Quote:
Skarsg. What is that...?!? Very creepy but actually it reminds me of this creepy fan that has been posting disturbing messages on her official FB page. Somehow he is unhappy with her new direction and rants about it. Have you guys seen it? He uses similar words: hopelessness, stop your shine etc. wonders if it is the same guy or what is the point!?! If you loose disappointed by an artist or loose interest, just let go and find a new artist etc.

and after that he/she said:


Quote:
Oh my goodness! I thought it was made by the creepy fan but it is actually an official thing!!! Floored and surprised!! She got me (again)!!! Seriously now thinking about the message of anything vs what she has been through w VF/RP

Other than the poster will there be anything else special about the first press? I don't really want a poster. Don't even have a place to put it. Although the picture for this album are GORGEOUS!.

^ First press comes in the special digipak casing. I'm guessing once that's gone, the album will just be in a normal jewel case without the silver sleeve.
