It is to submit your name for a chance to have your name air during the end credits of the final Hulu documentary episode. :)

This looks amazing, I would love to go!!

As for the goods, it's a shame they don't ship overseas, because I'd love to buy the Final Space book.

Oh nice! Thanks for that! :D

I'm hoping I'll be able to sign up and rip the episodes while I'm in Japan in a few weeks. It'd be nice to finally see all these episodes since it doesn't seem like anyone has uploaded it anywhere yet.

Hulu Japan is so restricted lol :eviltongu

Tenso is a pretty good way to get the goods! They've been pretty good with everything I've ordered from Namie so far :)

Thanks! I will try that

Thanks for the photos of the Final Space Exhibition! It looks amazing and I love seeing all the costumes!

It truly is the end of an era.... but not in a conventional way that you were expecting.

Some of you may have noticed that one of Namie's longtime dancers Hiromi was not in the final tour and the reason is she is pregnant and got married.

Yusuke, Hossy, and Risa were there for the wedding and in her post she confirmed that she is already pregnant. In recent posts she shows off her bump. Like Namie, like dancer?

Although no guarantee, it could possibly mean retirement to her dancing career as well. Its all coming to an end. :scry:scry:scry

As for my 2nd ticket, I ended up wasting it. While they made the interface look like it was transferrable, you could only transfer to the person who registered for the lottery. As a last ditch effort, I tried asking the staff at Tokyo Dome, but they said nothing could be done. Then they said something that stuck with me for a month. In Japanese they said "rules are the rules". I get it, Japan is a very subservient country, its one of their greatest strengths that make them very disciplined, well-mannered people (did you see the Japanese people cleaning up after themselves in the World Cup?) but it can also be quite a weakness. I went to the show thinking I would be the reason this stadium would have one empty seat, but it turned out there were a bunch of empty seats. Is it really more important to follow the rules than to make sure as many people as possible get to see the final concert of one of the greatest acts of Jpop?

Anyway I'm done ranting, I did enough of that while sulking this past month (her retirement finally sank in during the closing minutes of the concert when she addressed us that this is the final time shes taking the stage).

Seems a few people are getting the chance to fly the Amuro Jet. May I ask how you booked a flight? It seems you can only search for flights on the current day and next day.

I am going back in September for a music festival and to hopefully visit all four Final Space museums, would be nice to fly the Amuro Jet while I am at it.

Lico (ayus former dancer) and Natsuka are also in the picture

I'm having trouble understanding the part about the '10 keywords' but Nippon TV is airing a special program every Saturday night at 10:54pm. It starts the 21st. I guess it will be one of those short space fillers the tv networks do.

The program is called namie amuro FINAL SPACE with the theme of a stage and they'll show special pictures. (It'll last for 1 year??)

Fanspace message:

It's based on 10 different keywords, showing important parts of Namie Amuro from her 25 years. The keyword for the 21st July is 'stage'.

Ah that makes much more sense. Thanks! :)

Namie has reached over 900,000 pre-orders for the Finally DVD!!

She's set to become the first ever artist to sell over a million copies of a DVD :banana2

Snippet of Try Me (Osaka Dome ver.), Do It For Love (Nagoya Dome ver.), Sweet 19 Blues (Sapporo Dome ver.), Finally (Sapporo Dome ver.), Baby don't cry (Tokyo Dome ver.) and Sweet 19 Blues (Tokyo Dome ver.)



I'm debating if I should buy Nagoya Dome, Fukuoka Dome or Sapporo Dome version disc..

^omg!! when i read sweet 19 blues @ sapporo i knew it was gonna be the part where she accidentally went to the wrong side of the stage. I was at the side where she was suppose to be and the fan's reactions were really cute. I'm happy they got it on film.

I like the styling and normally her aloofness doesn't bother me but she looks like she's just so over it :laugh

^ I've definitely gotten that feeling all year. Like, I am cashing in as much as I can, but please lord just let this be done already. :)

this is exactly what i thought too!
she looks tired and isn't even trying to hide it. hahaha

it's probably a really emotionally exhausting year for her too. She's probably looking forward to sleeping in for a year. :o
