[AJFmzk]

^sure. I will PM you as soon as I have the clips ready.

[AJFmzk]

I've PM'ed all who've requested so far. I do have to clear space off my drive, so I will leave the videos up for another 24 hours and then I have to delete them. I don't have space to keep them permanently.

Can I jump on the request too, AJFmzk?

Abema has opened up voting for the upcoming BEST NAMIE MVs special!

https://best-amuronamie.jp/

Voting will go on until the 15th.
Curious to see if any if the rankings will drastically change compared to last year

[EndOfTheWorld]

I love these voting competitions. I didn't think they would continue even after her retirement.
I voted for NEVER END.

[jiarongisme]

"21th Century"

Voted for Hide & Seek, NEW LOOK, and Showtime. Wanted to vote for How to be a Girl and I HAVE NEVER SEEN as well but I've exceeded the 3 vote per day limit.

[AJFmzk]

lol 21th century is hilarious. She has so many good PVs that I like for a lot of different reasons.

So far I voted for Can you celebrate (original version) because it's such a classic and I really like how they put together all these really great shots to create a video with a lot of feeling.

The SPEED STAR because I love how she looks and the dance moves :p

人魚 because it's got sort of a story and I really like the visuals

but there are so many more I want to vote for.

I voted for How to be a girl, I HAVE NEVER SEEN and Put Em Up

I voted How to be a Girl and Dreaming I was dreaming: my favourite PVs.
Did you know that 'How to be a Girl' PV had been nominated in 1997 at the Edinburgh International Film Festival?

It seems to be run by BOARDWALK Inc., the same company who managed her fanclub and her online store and tickebo as well. It's only operating for the next 10 days, starting from today until the 24th.

Namie's full music videos are now streaming exclusively on Apple Music!



I wonder how long this Apple Music deal was in the works... and if this is why her YouTube only uploaded the 1 minute versions after it got revamped lol.

[haraiso]

Happy unofficial Namie Day everyone!! haha

Lots of things going on today.

With her music videos now streaming exclusively on Apple Music, they've added a new "Namie Amuro Videos Essentials" playlist: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/...6b981cc7877f84
