Pegasus/Kami? LOL, interesting title.

Stop believing what wikipedia says just because you go there all of the time. There have been a lot of fake Namie single rumors from wikipedia which NEVER turned out to be true.

^ -___-

It was a general statement.

I had a picture of him while he was a baby, and there's also a photo of him when he was shopping with Namie.

EDIT: 1 2(scroll down)

"Pegasus" reminds me of Hitomi Shimatani's "Perseus," LOL.

here's a small bit of coincidental history, from HK www.discuss.com.hk forums

the person who capture this TV footage also capture 10secs of a VS CM at the end of the clip :P

Wikipedia can be such a ***** sometimes. I remember before the 60s70s80s were released, they put some silly tittle like "Ladies" or smth like that.

I don't care about the tittle, I just want the new material ;__; Waiting for Namie to release is a pain, the same goes for Hikki :)

@acougan thank you^^

actually since she's the only artist whom i will buy Singles for, my wallet don't really care for ultra-frequent releases, LOL

i'm thinking she'll be taking a rest from touring for the 2nd half of 2009 and try to get another album by July (her lucky month for releases) 2010 and start another Tour season.

At this point I'll take anything... a new song, ad, anything... just a clip of her singing a new song in the street xD;

Namie I'm starving!!!

Same here! XD

well, NNN already posted news abt her upcoming collab work with ravex of http://ravex.jp/index.html (click at your risk)

wonder if they'll shoot a PV? Avex 20th anniversary is really auspicious for her career, eh?



EDIT: haha, i skipped the flash intro myself. dunno why Avex signed the DJ Ozma fella - comic relief perhaps?

@__@ Why didn't you warn me before you posted that link to the ravex website? I don't need to see that music video again.

lol anyway, she's doing a collab is with ravex? Now I really hope that the BoA collab sounds good so I can look forward to Namie's.

Pegasus? lol.

I'm still looking forward to the release. Another album soon... *dreaming* But it won't happen. -_-

EWWW... DJ Ozma has always been known to do outrageous music videos / live performances.

looks like namie is back at VS again :D

^ So is her new song going to be for VS then?

i'm dreaming of Violet Sauce Part 2 as the next tie-in

too much Photoshop done on that picture? she looks like an underage kid, LoL

there's a possibility, but nothing has been confirmed yet. i think the CM comes out soon, so we'll see then.

^ oh, can't wait to see the CM. ^^

I love the picture!

this is a pretty old blog entry by Nao'ymt

http://blog.naoymt.com/blog/2008/12/post-353a.html

Google translation:

LOL, he's wearing a Namie T-Shirt!! And looks like he has some VIP Pass to one of her tour shows.

I'm loving that dress, let's hope there's another VS tie-in maybe if this single is a double a-side she gets a tie-in with some huge drama, and then VS.

I hope her music release schedule starts picking up again this year.

I wasn't too happy that she didn't release that many singles last year, only one.

I hope she's going to release at least 2 or more singles this year. ^^

ah <3 love her look here!
so just a bit slow, another single tied in with VS then?

I like her clothing in the pic, and also her black leather... hand thingies, what are those called, there's a name for it... lol.

Her hair is beautiful! I can't wait for the new song / CM!

gloves?

Yeah, I know they are gloves, but I thought there's a more specific name for it?

^ I can't think of any special names for gloves.... hand covers? xD;

I still need to find that shampoo!

Ooh~ her hair is so shiny. :luv2

I don't like this pic because of hair! They don't look natural!

There are none news about a new single ? It's a shame. I would like a new single!

^I'm pretty sure that it was already said that there IS confirmation of a new single for this year, and that it will be a double a-side single.

^ Well, I hope it does turn out to be a double a-side single.

And I really hope there are 2 PV's for it. ^^

her hair is gorgeous!!! LOVE it! she always been so glamorous after collabort with them.

new song, please, namie!

I really love what she's wearing! And that belt is gorgeous D:

Her hair looks so nice and shiny. ^_^

i heard VS shampoo is sold quite cheaply in JPN. wonder why their parent company always have so much money for promotional campaigns? maybe shampoo is a very profitable product? haha

Seriously? I thought VS was one of those higher end shampoo brands.

And also, thought stuff in Japan is very expensive. :/

How much is a bottle of shampoo? I
I saw in Taiwan website of VS it's not cheap at all@_@

^ Can be. Depends on the product and the name.

Her hair is so photoshopped. :irk

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/kenkocom/x614760h/

<800円 for shampoo is cheap relative to the cost of living in JPN, no? IINM, they have coins valued at 500円 :)

i would say 8+ dollars is a lot for a bottle of Shampoo. 0_______0

gah..i brought a package of VS in taiwan for...about USD $6? and the bottles were small >_<

I've never used VS Shampoo before.

Seen it, wanted to try but I'm fine with my shampoo as of now.

I'd like to try it, but not if it's super expensive...

^ Me too, I wouldn't mind giving the brand a try, if it's not very expensive, and is affordable.

just dont tell me the shampoo will be in violet color :no

haha i'm afraid to use mine because i'm afraid of using up too much of it...it smells so nice!

and aren't most shampoo ads like that, with your hair looking unreal and in commercials too @_@

If there is any fake shampoo/haircolouring ad then it are those ads/commercials from Gliss Kur (Schwarzkopf). Those commercials have a very strange glow (not only the hair) ... makes the woman looks like an alien. :tired

Anyway, there is no deny that they photoshopped Namie's photo. Especially the hair. But I do think that if people watch the PVs Namie made in collab with VS, they will realize that her hair is indeed shiny ...

And yes, what I just said now doesn't make any sense. :tipsy.

So what are your guys's favorite tours? I just got Space of Hip-Pop and Live Style recently. I watched them both, and I would have to say that as a concert, Space of Hip-Pop was just better. I have yet to watch any of her other tours. (Well, I did watch the Super Monkeys one...)

SO CRAZY tour. i loved her performance of can you celebrate

see, unrealistic hair @_@
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj85/pommy48/17.jpg

gah, i guess i can only say PLAY tour is my fave...:dead2 since i've only watched that one...

#1 - Live Style 2006
(Great arena stage design, very cool lightings, fantastic costumes, amazing b-side setlist but too simple boring choreography.
#2 - SO CRAZY tour 2003-2004
(Great stage design, simple yet cool outfits, songs from all her era, new creative ideas)
#3 - PLAY TOUR 2007
(Great Stage design, cool lightings, great new ideas, cool new choreography)
#4 - Space of Hip-Pop
(boring and empty-looking stage design, bad lightings!, only 5 outfits??, too little new choreography)
#5 - GENIUS 2000
#6 - Concentration 20 Live in Tokyo dome
#7 - break the rules tour 2001

I doesn't own her first anniversary tour dvd... Why i chose Live Style 2006? I have a liking of Namie performing on a huge expensive stage :innocent Forum halls are great for the live audience cuz it's closer and more intermediate BUT arena stage looks great on DVD!

it's the same for me! I only watched it because PLAY is my favorite album!

Space of Hip-Pop tour 2005!

I loved the lighting and camera angles and costumes and such of Live Style, it's just that the choreography kind of dissappointed me. And also, the execution of the moves themselves- I felt like Namie could have nailed them better, because we all know that when she tries she really kills it. But I enjoyed watching it the same. :=0

Live Style also has a pretty long setlist (28 songs) so I suppose it depends on what you like. I felt that she did a better job of getting the crowd pumped up during Space of Hip-Pop (probably because of the fact that the album was made for a live concert to begin with and the smaller stage?).

I still love SO CRAZY tour the most! I have just watched it this morning!
Not that i mean I dont like the rest, but SO CRAZY tour is my first Namie DVD when I dont know her, after watching it, I decide to search for her music! Thanks God I did the rite thing XD

^ SO CRAZY is probably a great concert, I bet. I've seen the pole dance she did for "Please Smile Again" and was wowed. Also, her use of nunchucks in "toi et moi"?

the energy of the First Anniversary Live concert is pretty amazing and i only have in on VCD: who can forget "girl-in-love" expression when Sam came on stage and the tears during S19B perf.

but my favorite will always be Genius 2000 VCD/DVD cause it was the first time i saw Namie performed :love

I think her Queen of Hip-Pop is my favourite tour DVD. :)

The Queen of Hip-Pop concert DVD has the most clever design, seriously! It's such crack too.

^ Definitely! ^^

One of my favorite Namie tours is Namie Amuro Best tour "Live Style 2006". I love how how this concert focused on her bsides and songs that she rarely sings :heart. AND SHE SANG Go! Go! ~Yume no Hayasade~ :luv2 I wish it made it on the dvd. Oh and the dvd cover is probably her best concert cover. Like others said had the choreography been better this concert would have been perfect.

Oh and the So Crazy tour probably has my favorite setlist. She finally sings Dreaming I was Dreaming :weep then right after goes on to the epic PLEASE SMILE AGAIN pole dance :heart I really need to own/watch this tour.


I still haven't seen her Concentration 20, Genius 2000, break the rules, and So Crazy tour in full :weep

Live Style's cover is very pretty, but I love how much time was spent into making Space of Hip-Pop's look like a tabloid lolz, and the case doesn't feel so empty. My Live Style DVD case is cracked on the front. :( Stupid yesasia! Speaking of what Live Style contains, does anyone know of any translation for the interview with Namie and her crew? I'm really interested in what they had to say, and I could have sworn that Namie says "CONDOM" during one part, and her hand gesture certainly doesn't help, but I'm probably just being a dip******

I think some stand-out performances of Live Style were Violet Sauce, Handle Me, Driving, (MOTTO DRIVIN DRIVIN, HEY LET'S GO DRIVIN DRIVIN YOUR FAVORITE SONG ADSADASDA) the way she smiles is just =D... oh yeah and Ningyo, Lovin' It (I prefer it to Luvotomy)

^ You should try to watch Concentration 20 (I have yet to) but her "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?" performance is just to die for. You'll know what I mean if you see it.

web.archive.org is not 100% reliable but i manage to re-visit some old pages from www.avexnet.or.jp/amuro/report/

example : http://web.archive.org/web/200204100...pv17/index.htm

i found most of the "Making of PV" picts (a few are missing) and zipped it:
http://www.mediafire.com/?f2gzudfinkm

Can't say since I haven't seen a single namie concert.

The hair doesn't even look like it should be on her head.

Who is that girl in the pic? o_O....

it's emi suzuki, a japanese model

and did namie ever sing ningyo live?

^ She looks a little bit like Namie. ^^

I've seen that CAN YOU CELEBRATE on youtube! that perf is incredible :heart From the Concentration 20 concert I've only seen CYC?, A walk in the park, Concentration 20, and No Communication. Concentration 20 is my favorite Namie album so I will definitely love that concert~


Thanks for that file acougan I haven't seen a lot of those pictures before~

She sang it twice =-=
One in LIVE STYLE 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Tu9UZxspY
and one in PLAY tour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCTOcYvN_Mk

^ Oh wow, the performances were so nice to watch. Never knew she performed ningyo live. ^^

That is some crazy photoshopped hair...

It sure is! o_O...

Eh, no one's hair looks like that. :laugh

So how many more dates until this tour is finished and we can get a new song? xD;

Okay, I watched Live Style for a second time and it was much more enjoyable. Maybe it was because I wasn't so tired that time. lol I have no idea. Then I watched SoHP after that. Turns out I ended up liking Live Style a lot more. =P

^ That's one of the recent Namie DVD's I don't have ;_;....

I watched only PLAY and STYLE, and they were amazing.

Do you mean Live Style '06 or So Crazy tour?

Live Style^^

Oh wow, those shots look gorgeous. I haven't really been into any J-Pop for the past few months, but a new Namie single could definitely get me back into her at least. She rarely fails to be amazing.

haha, so that rumor about the eating a strawberry while in a bathtub from namistyle.jp.bbs weeks ago was true!

Dr. as in Doctor? sequel to CSCEIS? :P

OMG, double a-side!!! WILD + Dr. !! So excited!!! ^^

omg, she's so gorgeous! Wild/Dr....hm that's a weird name, wonder if Dr have a pv, it'll be a hospital-themed with dr.amuro reporting for duty :roflmao *daydream*
