I'm so excited for Ballada, a lot of the older ballads I haven't even heard yet, aside from any performances on her later tours.

need this in my life!!! CAN YOU CELEBRATE 2014 OMG..
and the CM is fantastic..I was stunned

That CM was perfect. :heart

The cm caught me off guard, I was like how did her hair grow so fast from her shot hair.
And then I was like ugh duh!! cm blew me away

Yeeeessssh!!! The covers will have to grow on me, but I had a feeling after that favorite ballads survey we might have been getting a compilation of sorts. New vocals and new PVs!!! Where can I preorder?!?!? I needs it now!!!!!!!

EDIT: Just preordered the CD+Blu-ray version! Yay!

New picture for her UNTITLED campaign, she looks stunning!

The covers could be something different for a ballad best album imo.
I think she totally has the same look like Kumi had last year for her Dreaming Now! covers.
The eye make-up, the hat and the hair everything looks like it and when I first saw the pics I thought it was Kumi :-D

Contrail ballad version I'm legit crying

and omg she's including I WILL still crying

Is there anything special that comes with the CD+DVD/CD+Blu-ray? If not, I'm just going to pre-order the CD version.

Can You Celebrate (2014 MV), Sweet 19 Blues (2014 MV), Four Seasons & HimAWArI MV

Gosh, it would be a waste to buy CD only. I mean, seriously!

I love that new UNTITLED picture! Namie's so pretty. :heart

I really love the visuals of this album, and the title BALLADA sounds really beautiful to my ears :)
Even though I don't know all of these songs, I think I will preorder this album (CD+DVD) and re-discover pre-2008 Namie Amuro :yes

EDIT : If she's gonna release a 2014 version of Can you celebrate?, she will slay everybody this year in terms of sales ! :D

The CM is really clever, but the album name is a little silly (cause it will be pronounced Barrada by the Japanese which means "he got cold" in Arabic lol). Either way thank god she's re-singing Can you celebrate. I have never been able to sit through the original song cause her voice was atrocious back then.

i really liked the CM and cant wait to get this on blu-ray!!
Cant wait to get back to japan!

I love her sweet expressions, and she looks like she's feeling something for a change, lol (also, hair porn everywhere).

^She looks like she's going to have a duck face, and the photographer immediately press the shutter

I hate to admit it but this is how you pull off a good marketing and a great best album. I'm impressed, hats off to namie. I wish ayu would do something like this.

Ayu already did this and she did great at her time, anyway good look to Amuro~

Ayu's one was E BARAADO, this one is BARAADA

yup sorry I should have specified XD I meant that I'd like a new a ballads, with her more recent song (together when, you were... etc) and some older classics resung (dearest new vocal etc.)
