Gosh I remember when it came out... I was in class and I wanted to dance to it so badly but I couldn't! :laugh Definitely one of my favorite Namie songs.

Yeah, I somehow understood that there was a real hate towards this song, but I seriously couldn't stop listening to it when I discovered Namie. I was like OMG a dance song featuring brass wind, such a great idea ! Actually it's no longer one of my favorite song, but it definitely enlivened one of my summers !

My favorite Namie songs have always been exist for you, White Light, Baby Don't Cry, WHAT A FEELING, Come and FUNKY TOWN.

I've never understood all this hate towards FUNKY TOWN. :D To me it's one of the first songs I ever heard along with Baby Don't Cry. I really love FUNKY TOWN because it makes me feel good whenever I'm sad or depressed.

By the way, it's funny that when I first listened to Namie, I didn't like Queen of Hip-Pop and PLAY at all. I did download those back in 2007 and thought she's boring as hell. Then, almost just about year later in May 2008 I turned into a obsessed Namie fan after I listened to WHAT A FEELING, SWEET 19 BLUES, SO CRAZY and ROCK STEADY. I realized she's awesome and downloaded every single album there was at the time. XD

I sometimes wonder how much plays she might have if I had last.fm account in 2008. She might be the #1 most played artist because most of 2008 was spent listening to Namie anyway. <3

Well, my favorite song is definitely Can't Eat, Can't Sleep I'm Sick

I hate FUNKY TOWN and Hello.

There's not a Namie single I hate, or even dislike. I don't care for Fight Together that much, but I consider NAKED the main song anyways and I love that. She's practically flawless when it comes to her singles (or in general :P).

^Agreed. I rarely - if ever - dislike a song they release :).

Aw, I love FUNKY TOWN :heart

I love Hello :heart

^Me too :heart

^^ "FUNKY TOWN" & "Hello" are both amazing. :D

Most def WILD

Come, What a Feeling, No, I Have Never Seen, Never End

I just heard the single,and it's been a while since Namie released something i really loved. I cannot even describe how much i love Naked,it evokes me for some reason the wonderful period i spent in Italy :heart :heart :luv2 :luv2. I really like Tempest too, it's the third ballad from her i love, along with i will (with piano) that made me a fan of Namie:yes and Dr.

I also like the booklet, it is indeed a fashion shoot basically -i believe Roma as a city deserves more attention than the one it got in here- but still it's a very pretty booklet :) the shots with the horse were wonderful ;)

Speaking of Roma, I was wondering what she was doing there during the earthquake. I remember people were using google locator or w/e it is to find out where she was and she was reported as being there. I guess now we know why.

But I agree, Rome is beautiful. My family and I just took a trip there this summer (and other spots in Italy) and it was by far my favorite vacation of all time.

Thank you for showing Lovebite some love! Not enough people do. Definitely one of her truly underrated tracks. Would love more songs like that.

Let's show some "Don't Lie To Me" some love, there's actually quite a few songs I love from Namie that never get proper recognition.

ie. Strobe, Handle Me, Exist For You, Did U, Drive(unsure), I Was A Fool, Let's Do The Motion, so many great tracks from Namie :D

I love LOVEBITE. :heart

Don't Lie To Me is another awesome songs.
And I adore Strobe, Handle Me, exist for you and Did U. :heart

I definitely don't agree on Don't Lie To Me. It's my least favorite song on STYLE and the only one I don't love, but the rest that you mentioned (except Drive) are all incredible.

And I fourth or fifth or w/e the LOVEBITE suggestion. Such a great song.

Yes! :yes

I love those ones as well :)

Love those!
Though the poses are a bit weird, is she floating? :laugh

Wow I love those Sweet pictures~ amazing. :luv2

.....:luv2 stunning! the first picture, especially. :heart

looks like she's floating in the last photo? looking forward to see full scan:)

She looks SEXY in the 2nd picture.

awesome sxy pictures =)

I would love that first pic's style for a cover^^

omfg....she looks gorgeous!

2nd pic is definitely my fav

I want the magazine those photos are published in. So which monthly issue of 'Sweet' magazine are these going to be in? Can someone help a sista' out? ;)

^ It's the September issue of Sweet. Japanese magazines are usually always released one month early.

Thanks hun! ;)

I hope I can find it at my local Kinokuniya in Manhattan tomorrow. :yes

I really want that magazine! The first two pictures are incredible o_o

I listened to "Violet Sauce (Anotha Recipe)" for the first time in a long time today. That mix is so hot.

omg so hot!

I love the first pic

Omg s2

Why doesn't she uses outfits like this in her tours? T_T

WOW. amazing pics :tipsy

The pics are super gorgeous! Sometimes it's hard to believe that she is the mother of a preteen/teenager!

Our girl cannot take a bad photo.

I've yet to see a bad picture of Namie.

Those photos are wow.

She looks so beautiful.

I don't think that everyone has to repeat that she looks stunning on magazine shoots. Her gorgeous look is the standard for most of the magazine shoots. She knows how to be good in photos.

^Then what are we supposed to say? Oh cool, another magazine shoot?

I don't see why it's such a big deal to think she looks pretty :rolleyes

When we don't say "she's gorgeous", we would just say "she's tired" or "we've seen this before..." :laugh

^I think I'm going to start saying "Omg she looks like she just ate a wonderful meal"

she's like a mannequin omg

^Hmm I don't know I think she looks more like a wax-sculpture than a mannequin. ;)

true LOL I love the clothes, and she looks just stunning.

:roflmao

^hahaha <3<3

I was making a joke. I just want to see anyone disagree with me and said something like "I hate her pictures because she looks so fake."

Well perhaps she share her meals with her son.

I hate her pictures because she looks so faik *troll face*


Happy?? :P

Amuro didn't promote her latest single on TV music show yet? :(

yes even if she is on tour on the other part of country she txt her son

Dear Haruto
I cant eat my dinner so I am sending you leftovers by mail! Hope they wont get bad in the way

Yours , Moomie-Namie!

Namie FB


I really want to know how they did this photoshoot, wires maybe.
I love this and she looks amazing

Photoshop maybe ? :P

or that

aww nice : )

What the heck? Is there a reason why it seems like you're trolling? :no
And that second comment makes no freaking sense. :thud

why is everyone picking on kotora? i knew he/she was joking from the beginning...

I hate her pictures because she looks so fake. Lol

She looks so gorgeous.

:D

I am trying to refrain from running to photoshop to do a blend....I've done so many Namie blends she might as well name a song after me

Omg lol XD All of the white areas in her hair :laugh

But she looks very gorgeous <3

It is because they have a boring life in reality, even those AHS Staff. I am coming for entertaining. They believe their have better sense and better logical than me in their rational thinking.

Uh Oh Their average life and so narcissism.


PS: I would not get pissed off by their trolling, and why should I? This is the reality of internet.

:laugh I just noticed.

why you have to mention them XD

Namie makes falling look so glamorous!

the pics are pretty, but photoshop fail ><

:laugh I see that too now.
Still it does look like a Photoshop fail xD

When I fall, I look like an idiot. When Namie falls, she looks gorgeous. I don't get it.

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3386963_n.jpg
So that's the cover.

I don't see any photoshop fail

It's hard to believe she's 33 and has a child.
She's just flawless.

Totally agree.
She's divine :heart

She knows a camera front of her and she has to fall in a gorgeous way.

Camera or no camera. Trip her and everybody's eyes blow out from all the flawless-ness of her fall.

i think the Sweet cover is just beautiful! i like namie's outfit & those...cat? ears on her head, lol. :P it's a really cute cover.

^ I think they're bunny ears XD

Divine is the perfect word to describe Namie :yes.

:laugh that's it! i was thinking of what they reminded me of, but i just completely forgot about bunnies, lol. bunny ears! :yes :P

Namie looks super cute with the bunny ears! I love her styles in these photoshoots!

Haha the falling comments made me laugh :D

The bunny ears are super cute

OMG, Do you get a free Anna Sui bag with this mag? I'm SO buying it if you do!!! :luv2

^Yes you get the bag and the little pouch.

oh she's so adorable :heart

I believe you can do it. Practice more of falling and you will be like Namie Amuro.


Yes I believe so, I have seen lots of Japanese magazines with free bags. Free bags of AX, YSL, Anna Sui, and Armani.

I dunno why, but I'd like Namie to change her hairstyle and cut that hair a bit x__X I personally liked her short bob in FAST CAR PV. Maybe I want her to look more mature and less like she's 20 :laugh

I'm tempted to buy it as well for the bags, lol!

I ordered one of the last two copies they had at CDJapan. The total weight was 950g, so I opted for SAL shipping, which was 1400 yen. The next cheapest shipping was airmail for 2730 yen... :headache

But I'm a huge Anna Sui fan, so it was worth it. Plus I'll get pretty pics of Namie to boot!! :luv2

I'm still addicted to Break It and Get Myself Back, I have the CD only version coming in my latest CDJ shipment. :)

Ok, I just made a new thread, but we should fulfil this one before^^

why dont you ask someone in Asia to buy it for you? The shipment can be cheaper.

hope someone share HQ scans for Sweet September 2011 T____T
she's looks so funny #giggle# but very glamorous

omg yes~
If I didn't know Namie and someone would tell me she's 25, I'd believe it.

:yes Yes they are.
