[Namie Amuro] 74th Thread ~ Thank the world for 20 years of love & support ~

Yay the concert was amazing!!!
The audience went nuts when she smiled and, as SunshineSlayer already said, a lot of ppl sounded surprised from the tracklist, I guess they didn't check it before!

She was so cute and cheerful (lots if smiles <3) and full of energy and I loved the old songs' performaces! I really hope that she will re-release them with her new vocals.

The SUPERMONKEY'S songs live are superb and, right before coming back on the stage for the encore, the cameras showed her on the backstage with signs where she made fun of herself for not having MC on the live

Also looking at her previous performances (on the monitor) was confusing because looks like she didn't age at all O.O

Don't be naive, nowadays running every photo through Photoshop is part of a photographer's work (or his assistants work). Most of the time it's very minor changes(colour corrections, skin flattening, some work on facial shadows(especially around the eyes), some contrast work on the eyes themselves to make them stand out more...), but NO picture you see nowadays is completely without some digital work done.

Anyways, kinda looking forward to seeing this concert. The tree prop is cute.

Oh my bad then, but as you said it's easier when you release a CD every other month...


I'm quite curious about that tour, Namie looks really nice !

I'm not naive, I'm just not a cynical bag of jerks to cry PHOTOSHOP at the drop of a hat without considering that, you know, make up plays just as big a factor.

eta: nor am i accusing you or anyone else in this thread of being said aforementioned cynical bag of jerks lol. just wanted to make that clear.

I definitely see where you're coming from here, many people complain far too much about "PHOTOSHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP" every time somebody looks even remotely good on a photo. But on the other hand it is plain fact that every photo nowadays does get a slight to extensive digital treatment - simply for that "clean" look. (I didn't fully believe it before I interned for a photographer to be honest)

I'm just happy people understand what goes into photography like that.

Yeah, it's make up. Yeah, it's perfecting the lighting. And yes, it's a **** ton of photoshop.

Whether it's photoshop to fix imperfections, or fix coloring.


At least it looks good I'm ready to see gigantic ones of those all over the place. I hope they do that.

brb sobbing english namie documentaryyyy

Gorgeous, stunning, perfect.

I don't think she looks younger, which is actually a good thing. She outgrown the baby fat, fixed her teeth, and basically grew into her features. She has never look more beautiful than she does now.
