black make up is so much better

Oh god, yes, Violet Sauce is sooo goood, White Light should've never happened. I'm still not over VS wasn't an a-side.

White Light is so nice during Xmas season. Violet Sauce is also a good song. Anyone like the Violet Sauce (Anotha Recipe)? I think I like it more than the original.

^ I can't pick which of the three versions is the best to me tbh :heart

Oh my gosh I screamed through this entire article. They went IN and came for Ayu and Kumi. Genic isn't Namie's best by any means but the amount of dragging and lashings, it's too much. To be fair, kumi has finally found herself and ayu is doing what she knows best.

This whole article just sounds old... most of the things it talked about are happening for quite a few years already and are not even news anymore. If they wanted to talk about Namie having "solidified her position as the country’s premier female pop star", they should have done so a couple of years ago when her sales where actually higher, and not now that her new album actually had a big drop from her previous releases (even if it did still have impressive sales).

Plus, saying _genic is solid and miles ahead of A ONE or WOML? _genic is way too generic to be miles ahead of anything... (I still like it, but it's a weak album imo).

Did Japan Times bought a text from Random J? lol Kuu didn't go EDM what the heck what are they talking about

What do you guys consider to be Namie's winter songs? The only songs that evoke winter in the traditional mode are probably these : Can You Celebrate? (1997), I Will (2002) , White Light (2005) / Nobody (2007) and Tsuki (2014). Ballads like Love Story, Beautiful and arigatou come close.

But I'm the type that prefers unconventional cool pieces for this winter like : present, A Walk In The Park, How to Be a Girl, Ningyo etc.

White light is her best winter song. As has been said before, Namie sounds absolutely miserable over a hot little jingle beat. It's everything tbh.

this article about _genic is almost as terrible as the album itself.

LMAO.

:roflmao

Black make up is so much better than Red Carpet. And the PV is so boring even for me, and I love her boring videos.

huh, I liked all three albums that came out. they are all a little bit off and boring and not-innovative or wow to me, but I liked them three equally

Ah I hope Black Make Up is the lead song. It would be so cool to have some winter dance PV.

^hu. Red Carpet is the lead song, since well it is called Red carpet.

The single is up for download.

I'll wait till it's up on iTunes. Namie's team has been OK with this, but they didn't put up genic.

That's why I said "I HOPE". Did you misread it? hu.

Violet Sauce didn't do well in Japan. It is one of the least favorite songs in the album. Japanese liked cute-pop songs more than rock-ish songs at the time.
