i think there will be a new album at the end of the year, no?
nothing has been confirmed yet so we'll see

and namie has a photoshoot with Karl Lagerfeld in paris... i wonder what for.. maybe for the new album cover lol.
and lagerfield is a really big name in the fashion world so the shoot better be good lol

It's for an editorial.

the album is confirmed for the end of the year right
but I thin there will be the COPY THAT / My Love singel,too^^

So when will the BR sales be included?

not sure if both songs should be released as singles

it might hampen her new album's sales to a certain extent :shrug

oh here's a video of namie at the fashion show~



so what will the photoshoot be of? does she have any new endorsements coming up?

Her whole look at the fashion show is just, perfect. She's the prettiest celebrity for me.

I hope she does a shoot for Chanel and Fendi

^^ yeah i posted that earlier :P

i hope the photoshoot is good!

oh sorry! didn't see it, i didn't check previous pages~!

@_@ How can the translator possibly be answering the questions at the end? Namie doesnt even say anything. @_@

yay~!<3 she can make it to 250k :yes

Spring is going to be great for fashion this year.

I like her fur...but I found her outfit a little boring...I didn't see her shoes though...

anyway...we have a new album? Yey.

i second that @_@

the translator is probably gonna go to france with namie, so that's why she answered...

man.. namie seriously needs 2 learn more english! :thud

its so ironic that some people who sing better english (less accent) actually know less english >__>
and vice versa o_O

She looks beautiful....but REALLY tired...in the video too...

@ photo:

I wish I could have so beautiful hair like namie has :innocent

me too. mines just as long but not as perfectly straight and frizz-free. so jealous

Wasn't it already confirmed not long ago that it will be only promotional tracks for the album and not going to be an actual single? o.O *confused*

I wonder which songs will make it on the album

I can't wait to preorder it

I really hope there is Dr. II...

i hope there will be a lot of pop/dance songs on it, like play had

I mean which songs we already know can make it on the album ?

please...beautiful ballads... and namie-written songs ;)

WILD/Dr., COPY THAT/MY LOVE?

i really don't think she'll include 60s70s80s like some people seem to think.

I think that she won't include 60s70s80s, like you

the songs were on best fiction

why should they be included in the new album then ?

I don't think there's a reason for her to include 60s70s80s in the new album.

the question was meant to be ironic

I hope the album will be released fast enough so that I can get it as christmas present

^ yeah I don't think it will work

those songs were already included in BEST FICTION & that goes for Do Me More & Sexy Girl too

if those are included in her new album , I can forget about new album tracks material now

yesterday I had massive headache so I couldn't watch best fiction tour

I hope today I won't get headache

I want to watch this tour (from what I've read it is amazing)

^ you still haven't watched it? you need to! it's really good. take some aspirin and get to watching! :yes

^
ok *takes aspirin*

I have got the DVD very late so I couldn't watch it

ugh I'm still waiting for the censorship board to watch finish the BEST FICTION DVD so that they can approve it & that the DVD be ready to be sold on HMV's racks :grumpy

anyway , OMG does anyone realised this ?

http://www.yesasia.com/global/namie-...0-en/info.html

@_@ @_@ @_@ @_@

*imagine if that's on my wall now :thud :dead2

^
I hope they finish soon

and that you can get the dvd as fast as possible

yeah I hope so too but the censorship board's so unpredictable here

I have a feeling the DVD will not be made to be sold here til early Oct

worst case scenerio probably mid Oct onwards :dead2

man the BEST FICTION Namie poster's so :luv2

:smitten

YYYAAAAY for namie to do a photoshoot by Karl Lagerfeld! Im so excited to see the result :)

That's what I thought too...I'm just as confused now :(

namie said in an interview that the theme of her new album is going to be "WILD".
so i'm sure we can expect alot of dance tracks ;)


and wow. i want that poser :curse

WILD sounds amazing =)
I'm so looking forward to it *-*

@aloopy: poser gives it a extremely funny other meaning than poster :D

^ lol! oops. :laugh


and yeah i really want those songs to leak already. i can't wait to hear copy that & my love in full!
&& i hope they will confirm something soon. be it a single or an album.. i hate all this guessing :(

All I have to say is that if it has 12 songs like PLAY and QOHP(excluding hidden track) I won't mind, because those were both some really STRONG albums considering the amount of tracks they held. IMO I'd rather have a few songs that sound great and a lot of songs that aren't good *cough*TRICK*cough* lol, wish Kuu had done something better with that, Kingdom tops TRICK any day!!! Anyways can't wait for the new album, single, whatever it is, can't wait to preorder it either!!

lol bless Alex with the typo error :laugh

yeah that BEST FICTION tour DVD poster is just wow man

too bad I don't have enough wallspace in my room T_T *still waiting for my poster to arrive ugh

the best fiction tour dvd poster is amazing

Or on my wall :lech The poster is gorgeous.... I want it.

wow i really like that glamorous pic. can't wait to see more!
but what's up with all that pink...:no :laugh

OMG, noooo.

I'm falling apart at the fact that I can't have it...

namie is an iphonegirl :)

^ LMAO XD how so?

that first picture is so gorgeous (ok not that ugly old man) but namie.. she looks so pretty there <3 and so cute in the second pic
actually, i kind of like the 3rd pic too, the first pic i've liked of her with that wig :P

wow she got a picture with karl lagerfeld.


I :heart the fur picture.

^ isnt that the guy from h&m??

Yes, he collaborated with H&M XD
But he's much more than that : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Lagerfeld

I hope the photoshoot is for the album *_*

omg thats really really cool!!! maybe shell pose for H&M and i will see her on a H&M poster on the street OMG THAT WOULD BE AWESOME :thud

lol that's so cute

OMG is such an honor for her to be invited by him!!!

He's a huge fashion designer, very talented and extremely prestigious and influential in the world of fashion!!

She really is going beyond expectations, my god!

I mentioned before that the photo shoot is for an editorial.

do you have a source for that? whatever it's for, i hope it turns out great (and no wigs please!)

Yes... one of the Chinese articles.

Associating Karl Lagerfeld with H&M is :laugh

Maybe she'll do something even bigger. Fendi or CHANEL...you know...those other labels he's the main designer for lol

But that's kinda...waaayyy out there. Maybe they'll do ad campaigns in Japan...still kinda out there though.

Yeah its out of expectations....she was invited by him in person to sit on VIP seat..I mean ok she is a star in Japan and in Asia...but if she was invited by HIM it means there is more..her fashion tastes and style attracted him maybe =P Lets hope she does something BIG ^_^

The source is from the Chinese one, but it's true cause here're some picts from Karl Lagerfeld studio in Paris, and more suprising when Namie's BEST FICTION TOUR was being watched there:thud

SUZANNE and Satoda Mai

so is namie in this pic, on the right?
http://ameblo.jp/mari-kagaya/image-1...264823913.html

and who is this mari kagaya person?

Maybe she's a translator who's working for Karl Lagerfeld
Yep, Namie was on the right in that pict!
I hope we will have some amazing/unique photo shoot from Karl!

Seriously, if her new work is not a single of "COPY THAT/MY LOVE", I think everyone in here would complain a lot.

I would not hope her next single would have only COPY THAT and MY LOVE, otherwise it sounds so like a single for VS again (considering she has done that once in 60s70s80s, and IMO, she should do something not like this.) 3 songs in a single (COPY THAT/MY LOVE/ a new song) would be nice.

if she did that, it'd probably sell close to 300k again :P i'm all for it.

namie really has a distinctive look which makes her attractive

She was invited by Lagerfeld & she's doing a photoshoot with him?!?!

OMG. That's crazy-good.

o m g, H&M is like heaven to me. :thud
I love H&M.

:thud

^me too!!! i have so many H&M clothes :thud

My mom always says that I have an H&M store build in my closet :laugh

@ AyuHamasaki01 : I love the pic u used in your avatar and sign, was it in the BEST FICTION DVD ? (I've just ordered it, I didn't receive it yet)

Yes it was, I scanned it :yes

I could upload for you if you want.

What I liked about the whole 60s70s80s single is that New Look and Rock Steady were out for quite a few months before What A Feeling and sales still managed to be great! Hope we get news on a new album instead of a single, I don't want a single, it's been 2 years since an original studio album and I want one already.

do you think that namie will include 60s70s80s songs to new album ?

maybe yes maybe no ?

the same ? can be put on Do Me More & Sexy Girl but the problem's , if all 5 songs are included in her new album , it might be transformed into a Vidal Sassoon concept album seeing that it's certain that COPY THAT & my love will make the cut

Namie Amuro has never included songs that were only on a BEST before on a studio album. Please see Love Enhanced for an example. Plus, it would be a pure waste; 60s70s80s is over a year old now. There would be no absolute point, and I think it's common sense.

I don't think she will include them either. She's usually good about not doing that. I think we will have COPY THAT/my love, and then probably there will be another PV or two for promotional purposes, then the album will drop and we'll have around 7-8 new songs.

Maybe she will make a new version of Do Me More and put it there like what she did to Violet Sauce
(Do Me More for me is the best song ever, every special sound combine into one song: anthem, RnB, danciing beat, catchy melody...etc)

^ If she does include Do Me More I hope it will sound more rock-ish and with the added drums like the BFT performance. But I doubt that she will include any of new songs that were on BEST FICTION lol

Anyway, I want her to release a remix album someday.. Just imagine having hot remixes for WILD, WAF, the SPEED STAR etc etc..

Oh pleaseeee, hell no, I can't stand any REMIX @@ I don't like FAST DANCING BEAT, it destroy every good/hot/kool song!:thud
But if u mean "remix" = "rearrange", something like Violet Sauce to Violet Sauce(Spicy), I Have Never Seen + Himawari + Something About the Kiss(Love Enhanced ver), then it's pure :love
@_@ 2bh, in my hopeless mind, I have always been hoping that someday she will sing Body Feel EXIT and Try Me or Can You Celebrate with her new vocal :headache but I know it's an impossible dream

no I mean remix, not rearrange :P
I like most of the few remixes she has so far :yes except for the remixes on SWEET 19 BLUES.. those are bad.

CSCEIS remix > the original by far.
I also really like the Say the word remix and some of the other random remixes she has.. so yeah I want more xD

To be honest, I do not want 607080 including in her next album - if seems recycle the material to me.

Yes I don't mind her next release would be an album; however, just focuses on two things
(1) CD image (not like you can use Microsoft words to finish that CD cover)
(2) Music Quality (I am sure Namie has a sense of this, she has done lots of great music)

Then no...:headache
I don't like Say The Word(remix), I love the original one she sang for BEST FICTION TOUR, it's pure catchy with the medium beat, not fast beat...

THIS.
Honestly, I already loved Do Me More to begin with, & then the way it was done at BFT..yeah, it was fantastic.

I hope she won't include Do Me More/Sexy Girl because that would be really stupid. I need new stuff and not old rearranged songs...

oh yeah I would love that! The picture looks damn good <3
I would love to draw it :)

true dat.

I don't think she'll do anything old, she MIGHT put both WILD & Dr. on, and then COPY THAT and My Love, but when she did BFT she specifically said something like "this is when I leave all the old stuff behind, and start fresh again."
So no old songs, and hopefully not 60s70s80s, but lot's of new stuff, and hopefully a single too!

I'd rather have the So Crazy rearrangement from the tour instead, I loved it, although to me it sounded like a more "advanced" version of the Mad Bear Mix.

^oh hell yeah to that!!! :yes :heart

about 60s70s80s / Sexy Girl / Do Me More

oh hell no, she is soo not gonna put those on her new album!!
at least i dont want her to :P

omg i am so excited about the new songs. i wanna wait til the full versions come out to listen. and is this true did i see the word ALBUM? OMFG. cant wait!!!

This. I'm not worried though. Namie usually isn't lazy about this. Violet Sauce was over a year old when she added it on, but she changed it a bit.

Does anyone think she might do what Ayu did and release an audio rip of the BEST FICITION tour?

No I don't think so and I dont want to, actually what's the point of releasing an audio rip from a live concert...? I wont ever waste money buying that live concer audio rip@_@ Live are PICTURE + PERFORMANCE + STAGE + SOUND, and the DVD have it all!

ummmm because sometimes people sound good live, or even better than how they sound on the CD recording so it's nice to have that to listen to..
