Official Namie Amuro Discussion Thread

[Calico]

I've only heard the previews once, but I remember liking "GIRL TALK" more.

Namie is a great artist, IMO. Definitely in my top five. The first song I heard by her was through the Avex radio...in fact it was the first song I remember hearing on the radio itself. It was SHINE MORE. I remember not thinking much of it then, but now I love it. I didn't recognize her as an amazing artist, however, until I heard Put 'em Up, which is still my favorite Namie song. (I like the PV a lot too...she's so pretty!)

I recently got Concentration 20, and at first it wasn't really my thing, besides How to be a Girl, in which I loved the PV. But now I love it. So yeah, it's an acquired taste for the most part.

I'm really anticipating a new album. It should be good!

[m-a-z-e]

I totally agree with Calico about Namie being an aquired taste. The first songs of hers I herd were, Body Feels EXIT, Can You Celebrate? and LOVE 2000 the only one of the three I liked was Body Feels EXIT. So I practically gave up on Namie thinking she wasn't much of a big deal but when I decided to give her another go LOVE 2000 slowly but surely grew on me and is one of my top 5 Namie songs what got me liking her though was when I herd Wishing on the same star and omg! Namie could actually sing (Bare in mind I had never herd I WILL or Never End previously) and finally I was hooked especially loving, just as Calico, Put 'Em Up it is such a groovy, fun tune to listen too and when I herd SO CRAZY Namie definately jumped into my top 5 artists! 'Cos I went on to perform SO CRAZY with a bunch of my friends in a talent contest! Namie has an amazing talent, I think it's just a shame she's not AS popular now and seems to have been forgotten about in a way.

I want the I WILL single... *cries*

[AfanforXX]

hrm, I think shine more was her weakest single last year, tho i still love it. I thought it was Put 'Em Up before, but now I love =). That concert perf didn't hurt at all.

I think i'll need to get adjusted to the SPEED STAR, it's x_x right now.

Guess hitomi's SPEED STAR won the fight this time though i really liked namie's the SPEED STAR. The chorus is not too good but the verses are catchy, kinda reminds a bit of the verses from ALARM. Can't wait to listen to GIRL TALK...if only it had a PV =/

[ayubra]

i absolutely love "the SPEED STAR"
the PV is okie, it is not a bad pv, but it is not an original one either!
But omg, im addicted to "the SPEED STAR"

Right now Namie is in my top 3 singers!

I second that. By alot for me.

the SPEED STAR has a nice verse, but the chorus is...and repeats itself too much.

Now, I wish not to be flamed for this, but did Namie's look in this PV remind anyone of BoA?

[Rins-chan]

I think Namie looks in some scenes of the PV a bit too slim. I guess she had a lot of stress and learning a new choreographie makes her loosing wight.
But I like the scenes within the pink box (or whatever it is)... she looks so sexy and her moves are really good. I always admired her for her dancing skills.

from want i read from DANCE STYLE magazine....learning new choreography is a piece of cake to namie....she even memorise the moves faster than those professional back-up dancers ^_^ those dancers are even impressed by namie !

i think she looks ok.....but the outfit and that stage set-up really looks similar to BoA's pvs .....>_<;

[AfanforXX]

nah, hitomi's SPEED STAR just plain sucks x_x. to me, this is the winner, I love it now =).
I also don't see the resemblance to any BoA PV.... x_x

P.S. I'm the SPEED STAR
