You cannot fully know a song by the previews is all I'm saying. Lots of people say that a song is going to be **** by the previews, but then when the full song comes out they're jumping on the bandwagon.

@Cori: WILD is the dance number, not Dr.

yeah usually previews never do the full song justice.. but if they don't like it then it's OK clam down :yes

WILD/Dr. available for pre-order at CDJapan:

It's because she can't sleep, can't eat, she's sick. </lame joke>

The preview sounds pretty good. :)

^ Cute joke lol

You totally beat me to the punch, I was just going to look and I saw it and I thought I'd get to post some news first...:(...LOL

Gaaaah. Waiting for yesasia here. :D But I'm going to do it when I see the covers and posters and shizz. Pre-ordered BEST FICTION at the last moment that way and I still got the poster.

I'm liking it. I'm very pleased to hear some electro influence in it. Ever since she did WAF I've been hoping she would do more songs along those lines.

Part of me wants her to make music similar to her older works, like BODY FEELS EXIT and Taiyou no SEASON... those songs are so much fun xD; Maybe she can mix the old with the new :yes

^ WILD is said to have some Eurobeat in it

^ I HOPE THAT TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE. NAMIE HEARD MY PRAYERS :spazzed :heart

Ooo new single?! yay!
WILD sounds like a mix of SEXY GIRL and WHAT A FEELING...

I'm glad both songs are going to have a PV. ^^

^ Me too! I was kind of worried about that :O

I wonder when the HQ CM's will be airing. Soon perhaps?

Screeching? I didn't hear any screeching :shakehead

I can't get that "hair in mid-air" scene out of my head from that CM.

Most memorable part, and I'm sure most people will remember that part. ^^

Namie's hair naturally does that! She only decided to reveal her hair's magic powers recently in light of all the attention it gets with Vidal Sasson!

Namie's hair is supa saiyan 8D

Did you get to see the better quality clip? It's somewhere in here...


Here it is

Kaori, I get what you're talking about.
The bolded parts indicate where she sounds sort of nasally, dekinai and mitai. As of now, Dr. is ok but not too concerned til the full leak is out.

Is the new CM going to air soon on TV? ^^

yea, it airs on the 23rd :yes

Can't wait to see it. ^^

omg no. I don't EVER want her to return to that screeching noise ever again. :shakehead

^ omg i love it, the more 'screechy' namie the better :heart

SO MUCH LOVE TOWARDS THAT STATEMENT~! :heart

She could be saying "TASUKETE doctor" (help me, doctor)... :yes

I don't know, have to wait til we get the lyrics, cuz I'm hearing a lot of things, lol... :innocent

I don't see how the song fits in with the CM, if she needs a doctor? Hmm...

lol a tie-in song doesn't have to be exactly based around the CM, as long as namie is hot in the CM and got a hot song, who cares ;)

Gosh I guess I just don't hear it :( Someone else thinks she screeches too... maybe because she's not comfortable with high notes....? Maybe not she can control it better now... Her voice has had to have matured since then.

Namie's has some stress in her life so the Dr. ordered her to go to a Victorian spa! ;) Lol j/k

But like Pommy said, the song doesn't have to match the tie-in, I think in Ayu's case, it just happened to work with Sparkle

HQ cover of March issue of Spring:

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...2009/cover.jpg

Namie's hair means she can potentially tie up with Bayonetta the videogame, LoL.

just have wear some funky glasses for promo shots, she looked good in them in that last Tuka CM.

Thanks for posting the HQ cover. *__* She's so pretty.

I seriously don't understand it. She's like a real life Benjamin Button...the woman ages backwards.

Gosh, I wonder what'll she look like at age 35?

Thanks for the HQ cover :)

I wonder too. XD

Actually, I think I seen this pic before... It could be an old pic, cuz I remember seeing a mag last year, where she was wearing that pink shawl thing...

Why would they use an old picture for a recent issue... that's weird :shakehead

Maybe, I'm in denial, cuz she's getting younger, lol... :innocent

She's getting so much younger she's starting to look like herself from back in the day lol.

Sounds like tasukete doctor to me.

I can't wait to see the single covers! :heart

actually i haven't really liked any Singles cover since WL and GT (CD only) :(

Double A Side, maybe we'll get photos on both front and back like CSCEIS?

CM is out! http://vidal.jp/top.html

i don't really like the preview of dr. at all. i hope WILD is better :yes

The cm's are here too, who can't see it on the Vidal site:

http://www.visionfactory.jp/movie/mo...e_cm_090123_15
http://www.visionfactory.jp/movie/mo...e_cm_090123_30

I love how it's so weird and not typical for Namie, it'll definitely be a favorite of mine, I love how it feels influenced by songs from the Totoro soundtrack, I hear it in the slower parts...

P.S.

JUST PREORDERED BOTH THE CD AND CD/DVD COPIES OF WILD/Dr.!!! I can't wait for them to come in!

I love the VS CM. *__*. And I like Dr., cus it sounds different than the stuff she has done in the past.

Can't wait to hear the full version of Dr.

It took so long for me to load too. -___- I hope youtube links will be out soon, so it will be faster to load and stream.

I love the preview it sounds sooo dynamic. And the drastic change in the speed of the song is love :).

Is WILD going to have a tie in? I just wonder.

some of the pictures used in the website. click to enlarge.

I'm not sure how I feel yet, it's one of those songs I'm going to have to hear the full version to decide...

the DMM instrumental is gone from vidal.jp and i never did find a method to rip it properly :(

I love the song from the 45' preview, thats what i have been waiting from Namie, finally she reach my wish! =D I love the opera part n the way it come suddently !
So many fans outthere dont like the song but thanks God Namie still let it out cause I'm the one who truely love it! =F
Celebrate for a new Namie n Sorry for those who dont like the song =P

thanks for ripping and uploading the individual picts. this remind me of Double :yes

you didn't rip the "horse" pict? that was the "supporting actor"! LoL

I miss him, doctor. I like the preview. That ending where the drums come in surprised me. They said this song was created especially for this CM so what is the connection? I wonder if those heartbeat parts go with the song or the CM. It would make sense if they go together. What with the song being called Dr and all.

I wonder if the music video will have her in a hospital.

I love those pics, thx for posting them cloud honey. <3

Dr. is ok :/ nothing special

I really hate the part with the drums being played and she sings, fast? That part is really messy sounding and doesn't sound good at all. I hope WILD is better

Nothing SPECIAL!? WHat SPECIAL u want from namie? I'm sorry for being so impolite but the song is totally different n SPECIAL @_@

The part u hate is the most loving part for me, I really dont know why ppl say that part is bad, she sings it like an orchestra

...

Do you think Namie will preform this song on her tour? Her tour continues well past the single release so it would make sense to preform on the tour as well.

I definitely agree as I stated in a previous post, that it's something really different, that she hasn't really done before, and that's what makes it special.

That is the exact same thing I was thinking when I first heard Dr. was "Come"
and still kind of has reminds me of "Come" a little.

i'm guessing this is a Nao'ymt song? maybe she can replace WL with Dr. for her upcoming BF shows and hopefully the DVD too~

Doesn't really make sense to sing a Christmas song in months Jan-May (even though she looked so pretty for her WL perf)

I am ripping the cms now in HQ =)

Is it a Nao'ymt song??! It doesn't really sound like one of his works/styles to me. *unsure*.

I post the files for DL here to those who'r lazy to check n wait for Vidal site 2 load =P

^ Thanks very much!!

Rocky Raven since you uploaded the cms I will upload the interviews and you will put them in your thread so that we dont need to open it twice, is it ok for you?

That's my honor =D

lol people are allowed to have their own opinions, just to let you know.

thanks cloud honey for the pics! the scene looks pretty and her hair is gorgeous. it's so shiny and healthy looking

^__^ I'll finish the upload soon and put the links on your thread so that you can put on the first post.

=P Thanks in advance!
Hehe in the meanwhile, I will burn all the files to SVCD to watch XD I wanna show the new CM to my familly! haha

lol I feel like an idiot right now. I just figured out why Namie's hair is like that in the CM. I was so focused on her I didn't pay attention to what was going on around her.

Hm...the song is...interesting. I really didn't like it the first time around, but by the second and third time I was sorta in love with it. XD I dunno. It'll be interesting to hear in full, that's for sure. And I hate to make the connection again (BTW, that was me making the picture connection before XD), but it reminds me a bit of Ai Otsuka's 360 song, which I adore like no other. :luv2

On a different note though, the CM itself if pure genius. I swear that this is the ONLY commercial with a celebrity that has EVER made me REALLY REALLY want to buy the hair product. :laugh If I was in Japan, I would go out and buy it IMMEDIATELY. :P

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8...p147004aj9.png

she should start her next BF tour by appearing from a bathtub singing DMM while her band looks on, LoL.

I think the song sounds great and the CM is out of this world. WHere did they get that couch?? :love

That's a GENIUS idea!XD
Haha Omg i pray for the BF Tour DVD to come soon n includes WILD/ Dr. in the setlist

Dr. sounds so weird to me and it brought Hide & Seek to my mind at once. But I'm not saying that the song is horrible, I'm quite neutral about the fact now. Before I can say anything about it I have to hear the full version so I'm not saying anything yet. :D

Eurobeat in WILD sounds deviously delicious. *drool*

I like Dr. I like how the beginning and chorus (I think) is so different, interesting...

Dr. sounds nice!!! I can't wait! X3

omg i watched the CM like 10 times now XDD i really love the sound of Dr. i think this will be another GREATGREATGREAT single of namie :luv2

Dr. sounds boring.
Though the music on the VS site is nice.

Thank you! I like the pictures.

That picture is cool.

I remember u did say that in your previous post.
as u say, this song is just like NEW LOOK? b/c NEW LOOK is boring, simple n not even being COOL/CATCHY.
Songs have creative arrangement will be judge as BORING:rolleyes

If I don't like the song then why are you hounding me about it? Since when am I not allowed to dislike the song huh? People have their own opinions, deal with it.

(it's okay if you dislike NEW LOOK, but, you called NEW LOOK boring and then you said that songs with a creative arrangement will be judged as boring?. So, actually you say that NEW LOOK has a creative arrangment?)


you like Dr., and I don't. Let's have peace with that. End of discussion. (and yes, who knows? Maybe I'll end up liking the full song but from what I've heard so far, I don't like it.)

the SENTENCE " Songs have creative arrangement will be judge as BORING " is use for Dr.

and I only compare NEW LOOK to Dr. cause w.z me NEW LOOK is too boring n have nothing special in VOCAL, MUSIC ARRANGEMENT, SONG TYPE, BEAT...ETC . HONESTLY that's my mocking way to ask u "How can Dr. being boring when something like NEW LOOK suite that word more?"

It's ok 2 dislike a song, but Dr. sound boring? even my mom has 2 turn her head when the orchestra part comes while I'm watching the CM(My mom hate all Namie's songs)

anyway forget it^^ we all have our own taste

for a moment, i thought the slow parts were very ningyo...and then that march came in..and I'm really a sucker for songs with a march (like Mirrorcle World)..it was very surprising..wasnt expecting that at all...

maybe it'll sound stronger in HQ..coz the beats and her voice didnt feel very powerful...I think..I'll like it :D

I actually can't compare Dr. with any other Namie's song... I can't judge it like this, i must hear the full song^^

I wonder when we'll get a preview of WILD... I hope it's used to promote the single :)

no XD the first day index was around 100k (x1.7) and the first week sales were around 700 k :)
