[Namie Amuro] Namie wants to Get Herself Back in her 56th Official Thread!

[ville]

the both songs sound so good !
i can't wait for the single!

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

I love both songs, I just find the Break It! goes on for too long, so maybe they should have changed some things up a bit, but still amazing. I LOVE GET MYSELF BACK!

[everlastingRAINBOW]

I've spent some time reflecting on the two songs lol:

Break It- At first I was like, "0.o...". It was not what I was expecting at all! I must say it's a grower, for I really enjoy in now. I do feel it is missing a little something, but once I hear it in HQ I'm sure it'll be more complete . I also like the futuristic sounds she has somehow managaed to keep going in her music lol.

Get Myself Back- I think it's a really gorgeous song, though it really sounds like a summer song to me! It also makes me think of several songs: MY LOVE, The Meaning Of Us, Pink Key . It also kind of makes me think of a Disney fairytale too xD

[JackieRos]

Can't believe not most ppl like Break it
I love it

[Nackar_91]

I'm not impressed with the single right now, to be honest. I was hoping for something new, fresh. It just sounds same-ish : /

But who knows, maybe the songs will grow on me. I hated WILD at first and it's one of my favorite songs right now.

[Chandrachan]

I LOVE Break it!! It's a great song!!

[love in music]

I see so many people everywhere *****ing about this single. I guess I can't relate to many Namie fans, since I didn't like P>F and everyone loved it, now I'm liking this single and so many people are hating on it :/ Well I hope it at least sells good because I think it deserves it.

[Kazeyomi]

oh my.. Break It its too catchy! I love it and I didn't expected many people dislike it.
Get Myself Back sounds just ok to me.

[Purple Neko]

omg i am so happy i pre-ordered this single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Break it is friggin epic!

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

I tried to do some of the lyrics by ear to Get Myself Back... Please don't get frustrated if some words are wrong... I can't speak full Japanese yet.

Meno mae ni hiro garaoi umi he, yeah
Maru ite iyou ga kaete yuku
Sunda sora gara furi sosogu hikari
Sukoshi dake tsukareta
Kokoro wo ara wo

Zutto ichiban hatte tanda
Jibun ni uso wo tsuite made
Hiro geki shiro chizuni wa
Uku basho nado doko ni mo nai

Mata meguru kisetsu ga anata no wa tsurete
Me wo tojite mama jama wakaranai
Konna ni wo, sekai wa kirei na no ni
Kuroi kanjo osai naretsu sei gite surekai "bye bye"
Get myself back again kizu kute tameru
Umarete kita jamaru

Oh oh oh~
Daijoubu kitto subete wa umaki

[Ayu_desu]

'break it' is awesome!!! It's so easy to listen to and freaking catchy! Both the beat and rhythm are so funky and old-school!

I love how many of her new songs have a touch of retro-ness in them.

[RikkuChii]

Break It is so..omg I dunno why people aren't loving it much, it's really good.

[y_nathz]

Yeah Break It was nice I believe it'll grow on you guys soon

[tenshi no hane]

Would anyone want me to post a translation of 'Get Myself Back'? I can catch most of the song by ear (except for 2 little parts)

yes please!

[freedreamer]

Im really thankful the Break It in the preview is NOT the song...So im already very pleased...plus the beat is addictive for me.

Get myself back is Baby Don't Cry X The meaning of us... = LOVE

[aznranie]

Has anyone seen this before?


it's so cute!

How is not liking a song *****ing about it or hating on it? We have every right to not like it, just as much as you have to like it : /. Besides, all I see is people being disappointed, no one is "hating on it".

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I´m not really disappointed about the single, both songs are very good.But i think she has taked two succesful songs from the past (WILD and Baby don´t cry) as a model to create those ones, without innovation.

[tenshi no hane]

I had to do this by ear, so there are 2 parts I'm not 100% sure about (they're in brackets [..] )


Get Myself Back (translation)

Spoiler:

The setting sun returns to the blue sea
That is spread out before my eyes
Light pouring down from the clear sky
Cleanses my slightly fatigued heart

I was always so stubborn
That I even started to lie to myself
My unrolled, white map doesn’t
Show where I should go

*The season changes again
And it carries a new foreboding
If I keep my eyes closed, then I won’t know
How beautiful this world truly is
Without repressing my dark feelings
I switched them with the truth
I got myself back again
We weren’t born in order to only feel pain

Everything will surely turn out okay

If I can protect the things I believe in
Then I will never fear being by myself
I’ll search for my lost emotions
And [return to my home]
Just like a small wave

I was only looking
I seemed to be engulfed by anxiety
Now, the important words
Lie within the scenery of that day

*repeat

Everything will surely turn out okay

I scoop up the drops running down my cheek
The stars are enticed by the wind and twinkle
Bye-bye to my tear-stained face
[And to my weakness]
Released from my heavy shackles, I can start walking again

*repeat

I have gotten over everything I’ve been through so far
I will wipe away any tears
Everything will surely turn out okay
