[thinkingoutloud89]

Namies time as a performer is now official over it seems. Sad times. Hits me so hard. *off to watch Finally tour again*

[ShiniTakashi]

Well I feel completely empty inside now. Her retirement was the final nail in the coffin of my adolescence.

[Marcelo]

Thanks for making the new thread to looks so nice, Namie forever <3

[roddypii]

The feats from this last performance... wow!! Jolin and Yamapi

Do It For Love could have been replaced by In Two.. and I wanted to see a #1 performance with Kaname ;-;
I really REALLY hope to see those performances on tv

[prussian blue]

no super monkey?

[Xianghua]

Thanks for making the new thread!

Here's a pic of Namie and Jolin together.

Again ~Thank you sooooooo much for inviting me to your hometown for your very last show , it was such a great honor to be a part of this event. Keep shining, keep inspiring us ,and most importantly keep smiling, my barbie ! Xoxoxo

#她的腿很長很長很長臉很小很小很小

[KarenPang]

#她的腿很长很长很长脸很小很小很小 - Namie's legs are so long x3 , her face is so small x3



On a side note , today is the day that everyone is dreading =(

[hud]

=(

[oaristos]

This is such a sad moment, the end of an era...
I wish Namie all the best in the world, but I can't help being so emotional over her retirement.

[Earth_maiden]

I'm so sad but at least we still have the music. I've been listening to her for over 10 years and I'll keep listening until I can't hear anymore.

[jean-baptiste]

^I've been listening to her for 10 years now too! Gonna miss her. A true icon.

[jiarongisme]

I hope Namie has a happy retirement. She's left such a legacy and done so much for us fans in terms of her music and lives. As sad as it is, I'm glad that she's doing what she wants.

I also really hope that the press wouldn't pester her after the retirement. Especially since they've already been harassing her family...

[EndOfTheWorld]

I'm trying to hold back my emotions. I don't want to acknowledge that it's over. It's too upsetting to see the era of Jpop that I love take another step closer to becoming a thing of the past. But nevertheless Namie will always be special to me.
I was listening to Play yesterday and rediscovered Should I Love Him? and Pink Key. They are part of Namie's hidden gems. In regards to the Uncontrolled topic from earlier. I love that album. One of my favorites.
Uncontrolled and Feel remain my favorite releases for the 2010s. Feel is actually a contender for my all time favorite albums of hers.

[mi|kshake]

I'm glad she performed #1! EDIT: Or rather, Unusual, why do I always mix these songs up? Love em both though!

I wonder what she'll do on her first day of retirement? Must be weird to have no more engagements.

It doesn't feel like she's retired yet to me but I still have to watch the Finally tour which I am planning on starting tonight!

[hud]

now put your discography on Spotify legend!

[CeReSu]

I will miss her too.
11 years to listen to her fabulous music. Thank you Namie ♥

[tomiko8]

Well there goes the void in my being..I feel utterly dejected

[Xianghua]

They added the final video on the ALLFOR916 website. It's nothing special as it's just a continuation of the other videos with fans singing. But the part at the end that says "We won't forget the time we spent with you" .....



Also city buses in Naha en route to the convention center are Namie themed. It was put together by donators.

Apparently they'll also sell mini models at ¥3,900.
