[Namie Amuro] The 96th Thread ♛ Queen's Farewell 〜Compilation, Tour & Retirement〜

[Darkifrit]

Someone please can make a mp3 rip of SHOWTIME?

[Toniayu123]

I feel some hate for me here... I apology if something I said sounded rude or offended anyone, I never meant it that way. I've been following and supporting Namie since a really long time, and by any means I wanted to drag her down. I think some people on this forum takes other's comments too seriously though.
Again, sorry.

But still, the latter is just weird mind-vomit of an opinion. As its is a visual medium, you can very well analyze if something is there just because they wanted to or if they wanted to underline something. It is pretty clear the director wanted to go for a very pure image here where nothing distracts to much form the lyrics itself. I haven't read any comment which explains why the video would have been better with lip-synch and what value it would have added to the actual video.

Just voicing something like "blah i hated it" is very school-kid-ish.

I never said I hated the PV tho? I did say it bothered me, but on my second post, AFTER you tried to come for me, cause you jumped to the conclusion I hated it on your own.
And of course it was on purpose, they would never shoot something and in the end realise she didn't lipsync lol Just cause there was a purpose doesn't mean I have to like and can't even joke about it. Don't take it too personal, seriously.

And regarding the lyrics of WANT ME WANT ME that's just rumour, never found anything official about it, and it's not like THAT ONLY LINE was sexual, the whole thing is. She did for sure know what she was singing about.

[Darkifrit]

Talking about WANT ME, WANT ME, I always found funny when she makes big arm gestures towards the public while singing such sexual lyrics haha

[Baco__]

I went to wash my hair, and then I come back you're fighting over namie's engrish and her comprehension of the lyrics of her own songs lmao

Guys, guys... At the time of want me, want me there was Google, online translators, people who actually knew what was being said/sung and most importantly: she was at a point of her career she had control of her releases already. Even when it doesn't make sense (koda's and BoA's early English versions lol) the singers at least get the feeling of what they are singing haha they are professionals. And what really matters: she sings want me want me A LOT, so even in this imaginary world where she found out the highly sexual lyrics too little too late, she likes it and is singing it like she doesn't care. So why would we?? Haha

I absolutely loved everything, but I'm so less critical than you guys lmao I wish do it for love had a dance routine for the MV and I believe it is the tour opening song... I mean, too many screams and belted notes for her to sing it middle/end section IMHO. And it'd be a great opener <3 I'm sure I'd feel it right away haha

Oh, btw: showtime MV reminded me a little of hyori's bad girls Hahaha and I love both.

[Miduhyo]

I freaking loved showtime. I hated the preview of it, even talked smack about it, but the concept as a whole is just so freaking fun. The MV, her looks, the dance, the song. I'm a sucker for a good/fun dance song (Chit-chat. Always Chit-chat.) and I'm sure I'll have fun with this one for a while too. I love her hair in it as well xD

Anyone have any mp3 rips of the songs? I have the radio rips but I'd prefer them without the radio hosts talking over half the song. (I know the album will be out soon and I should be patient, but I really want showtime.) <3

[hud]

for those asking for mp3 rips, I did one for Showtime and the volume is so low I didn't bothered posting nor am listening to it. I think we can hold on for one week more? if yall want it I can post it!

edit: forget what I said lmao the rip sounds fine now. here it is.

Spoiler:

Would like your guys advice, should I have my fanspace version of Finally sent to my Tenso address or to my hotel? I am only returning to Tokyo for November 9 and 10, not sure how long it would take for them to ship it. Did they give you guys delivery time estimates when you processed your orders?

[JackieRos]

I remember when people kept saying that she didn’t know what the English words for
WANT ME, WANT ME was about but I mean look at the Japanese lyrics it’s so freaking
obvious.

Fanspace version is shipped from mu-mo?
They ship it one day before release if I remember right (Ayu´s last release is a while ago so I don´t remember it for sure) so you have it on release date or the day after. But no guarantee it will be that way. maybe someone else has more recent expierience.

You should probably use your Tenso address: if I remember well they wrote that orders could take up to 2 weeks before being sent.


As for the 'Want me, want me' debate, once again if my memories do not fail, the words she didn't get and learnt the meaning later were "oochie" and "coochie". At least, that's what was being said at the time.

Ship it to your Tenso address. The fanspace edition won't be shipped and delivered right away since it's customized.

I placed my order when the announcement was made and my order says delivery is expected 1-2 weeks from the release date of the album. I don't know if the delivery time is the same, or even worse, for orders being placed recently.

[ExodusUK]

Chinese fans have the album and are so rude about how they're not going to leak it yet they keep talking about the new recordings lmao, Ayu chinese fans would leak it

[mi|kshake]

I can't believe the album is out next week! Things seem to have happened so fast since the retirement announcement!

The pop up shop sounds amazing! I think it's so cool how Japan go all out for promoting their acts doing things like this. I wish the UK would do the same!
