Big boys cry PV preview *___________*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=JzJG0apFaPs

She looks beautiful in the PV preview, the setup and style reminds me of her Best Fiction tour promoshoot.

Seems like a fun PV, and she looks so cute!

I WANT THAT MAGAZINE!! :heart

Question: Does anyone know where I can find the 5 Major Domes Tour DVD/Bluray Promotional Poster for sale online?

On the forum POP JUSTICE, they say there's gonna be a "FILMOGRAPHY 2006-2012 & More", out on May 1st.
Is it true ? Is there any source that can confirm this ?

I want one of EVERY MV & Making Of she's EVER done. There's A TON of her old MVs I've never seen. Even some I didn't even know existed til very recently.

the preview is awesome, she looks so cute and young

Wow. The PV preview really surprised me by how cute it is o_o It really suits the song though, so yay :)

BBC's full PV

So freaking sweet!!! Ah I can't take it when she winks! :luv2

^ The fact that she has a BIG smile throughout the video makes it GREAT!!

I love it--the scenes, her dresses, everything! It kind of reminds of the WoWa pv.

^There's a PV for Wowa....? Since when?

EDIT: The BBC PV has a very Christmas holiday feel to it throughout most of the video, don't u think? Also, I must admit the song's growing on me. Just in between those oh-oh-oh ooo-ooo-ooo parts i cant understand what she's saying the slightest bit. :(

^ Since Queen of Hip-Pop :S
You should check it out! She's really cute in it :luv2

^Wow... I find theres a lot of PVs and other such stuff I'm not up to date with from back in those days... Feel weird saying that too considering how long I've been listening to her. LOL :P
It's too bad that albums didn't come with the DVDs during that time. :(

WOWA Pv =D

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/V0zmg1iow4c/

^Pink panther thing bit random even though I know she did that for the QoHP album. However, all in all, awesome PV. :D

I wish she'd release a filmography of everything she did from Sweet 19 Blues up until QoHP including the Suite Chic stuff though. I have everything from Play up til now, and a lot of her super old stuff I've never seen. Only old stuff from those early times I have seen is whatever was on BEST FICTION since I bought that with the DVD.

OMG I love the video! It's about time they put some decent budget on Namie's PVs!

Lovely PV! :heart

Also, another_truth@JPC posted scans of the booklet lyrics and it's really 'Sit' (not ****) > here

She's so adorable in that PV xD tho it does look kinda Christmasy xD

and it seems like i almost got ll the english right on Beautiful, only missheard a couple of lines *YAY*

Ok Namie...when you really cuss next time, we won't believe you! :laugh

To me it's more Disney electrical parade than anything, haha.
But I really like this song, and I love that she looks happy in the video instead of moody!

However. That hair with the pink outfit... I can't even

Also: Fellas got stars in they're eyes, eyes

That annoys me more than Oh sit baby haha.

If you're able to download torrents, you can get her 181920+filmography and her Filmography 2001-2005 also there are pv's for her songs Did U and The Speed Star. Did U was only on a dvd release of Break The Rules tour(Fan Space Edition) so it's pretty much impossible to find in dvd quality, but The Speed Star came on the dvd for her Girl Talk single.

It could be a possibility, she had a pv for Damage and now BBC and the single didn't come bundled in a CD+DVD version so ya never know, I hope so but it's makes me wonder what "& More" could entail seeing as we only have 2 new pvs from her...

Since there is a PV for BBC, I would say an album is coming sooner rather than later. Yay! :) Both Damage and BBC seem too expensive to only be used on a PV compilation DVD. Maybe Avex is trying a new album strategy - all previously unrelased PVs on the DVD.

I would love to see Did U and The Speed Star on a collective pv collection for once ;)

^That's a bit different though because at least the Speed Star PV was released on the Girl Talk single. She has had two singles now both with high quality PVs but neither with the PV on the release of the single - so I'm thinking new album in a few months and they are saving all the PVs for that release.

I forget what Did U was released on. I know it was released on something though since I've got the VOB on my hard drive. :)

btw, in the thread link above, someone said that the post is fake about it being a PV collection.

btw, I'm just going to go on hearing "oh **** baby". It's much more interesting that way. :)

It was released on the fan space edition of Break The Rules tour DVD

DOME TOUR has debuted at #1 on both DVD and BR charts.
Sales: 134,519 for DVD and 50,089 for Blu-ray

So... wait. Beautiful was NOT written by Nao'ymt?

Oh my god I hope so. I'm currently buying her albums and if I could just get this then I'd only need to buy the CD only versions. Please release this! ESPECIALLY ON BLU RAY.

I don't have what you need to DL torrents. It's utorrent i need, isn't it? Also just a bit nervous on it. I've had serious problems happen to my computer before, so I wanna be careful. How do i check torrents for stuff like viruses and trojans before actually downloading them?


Also about the PVs, I'm wondering if it's just this release to not come with a DVD, or if Japan's thinking of not releasing singles with DVDs as often now. I dunno, how are the Single CD+DVD sales? Plus there's still some companies in Japan that still aren't releasing singles and albums with DVDs.....

You can use any torrent client, I personally use BitTorrent. As for viruses, I've downloaded thousands of torrents that never damaged my computer and that's because you only need to be careful to check the comments and ratings of the torrent. If we're speaking of Namie, torrent files of her stuff might not have much of that (and torrents with her stuff are less likely to be infected with virus anyway), but as long as you use a decent antivirus software you should be fine with torrenting. You could catch a virus by downloading any other way on the internet, to be honest. Torrenting is nothing different or "more dangerous" than downloading files from random sites.

On topic, it seems that Beautiful really wasn't written by Nao'ymt, as stated on that lyrics page. Why would someone fake the composer of a song, I'll never know.

^Thanks. :)

Oh and so is Beautiful getting a PV as well? Doesn't seem to be mentioned at all.

THe video looks pretty promising! Diamond theme, nice----.

It looked like a christmas parade but she looked really good as usual but exceptionally bubbly! The song, however is a lost cause for me. I can't stand the harmonies at all. Am I the only one who heard dip******* instead of tipsy? lol engrish galore once again

Love the Big Boys Cry PV. The only thing I dislike a bit is that the Christmas theme.

She looks gorgeous in the PV, love the blue dress and she's so pretty when she smiles. And that wink ... :heart

Am I the only one who thinks the MV is boring? Her videos are always of the same concept, her dancing in front of a set... wish she'd switch it up a little and give us some sort of storyline.

This. Totally. Same applies for BoA :innocent

What I do find interesting about Namie's PVs is she has tons of songs which are dirty in theme and lyrics, and yet even the PVs for those songs have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING sexual at all in them. Not even a sexy outfit. (ie. Do Me More, NAKED)

Thats because she's 'shy". If I remember correctly, the director of the Girl talk video wanted her to roll around on the bed, but she was too shy to do it lol
However, I think the Want me Want me dance is a little raunchy.

^It's been awhile since i watched that one last. LOL :P

Still, that's actually rather cute that she's shy. :)

^I dont watch a lot of those live TV performances and up until recently I had been buying the albums with the DVDs but hadn't watched many of them, so I can't say her "fake smile" has been affecting me. I still love A LOT of her music. There are a few songs though that don't catch my interest as much as others. I will admit that while BBC has grown on me, it'll never be a favorite for me.
"Beautiful" however, is just that for me. :) :heart

lol, BBC pv so Christmas hahaha

the "Big Boys Cry" PV is a really nice PV! i liked the dancing, and namie looked absolutely gorgeous in that dress, too! :heart

question, why she can't actually be happy?

I love this PV, she looks stunning

Yeah she looked really gorgeous in the PV, but she always does. I love the song, first time hearing it in full.

I don't think this cutesy **** suits her though. Namie seems like effortlessly cool to me, not cutesy.

The PV is gorgeous to me. love te entire look and feel of it. Fits the song well too :)

Mixed feelings about the PV. She looks absolutely beautiful, loved the dance moves, and the little boys in the beginning are adorable! :heart
But I wish she had more of a story to her PV, maybe actually making the "Big Boys Cry"? :innocent

I really like the PV, but I do not like BBC as a song
Beautiful is a good song though, much better :)

I don't mind her just dancing in her PVs. She's the Dancing Queen after all. :p

Interesting PV, but please do this style only once and then stop.

i have no problem with Namie's dance PVs. cos she dance moves are always so swag. and after all she's the dancing queen :P love watching her dance PV

hey dunno if this was posted yet or not, but this is new this morning when i woke up posted on Namie's Official Facebook page from youtube.

i think it's a nice change for her she's always so serious in her PVs, it's alright to have a cute PV once in a while ;p

"Big Boys Cry/Beautiful" is a really good single! "Big Boys Cry" is cute & catchy, while "Beautiful" is a really sweet ballad! :heart

Hater :rolleyes

you should watch her earlier appearances on shows like heyx 3, Utaban etc.. she was always smiling, she´s not faking it gosh, I don´t smile 24/ 7 and that doesn´t mean I´m miserable :D

I don't like the song but the pv is so nice.

In case of BoA you maybe forget to take into consideration that her recording label is SM, which only produces MVs like that.

And she's been away from japanese music for quite a while, so you can't say that about her PVs.

Your comment made me IMMEDIATELY think of this. baha:D

Glamorous scans

great!

GLAMOROUS Photoshoot is beautiful♥

She looks beautiful in the photoshoot. So sophisticated!

I love this dress!! :D :heart

http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/...3djxo21280.jpg

Me, too.

I love this pic the most:love

Its nice to see her new dancer Miki is still around. Shes very pretty. I thought perhaps we wouldn't see her again after the 5 Major Dome Tour but glad that isn't the case. I hope that doesn't mean Hiromi left, and ffs where is Hossy?

wow, the GLAMOROUS photoshoot is absolutely amazing! namie looks stunning! :heart

Me too, me too :yatta My favorite picture too. She looks gorgeous.

The photoshoot is just beautiful!

OMG gorgeous scans!! :thud *Opening PS*

So what? I know it, but still I won't stop complaining bout it cause it bothers me, that simple :laugh

Love the new scans!!!!! She looks so adorable in that white coat :luv2

Do we know sales/rankings so far for the single? ^^

^I wanna know too! :heart

1st Day.... #4
2nd Day.... #4
She isn't in the top3 and i can't know the sales :(

^do we know whats beating her?

Arashi, Tegomasu, and Porno Graffiti :(

^i dont like any of those. -_-

It's not too surprising. She has strong competition and compared to some of her other singles, I haven't seen as much promotion around town for this one. This will probably just be an OK seller but then her next album will sell huge again.

Namie isn't really a strong single seller anyways
Props to her for being in the top 5 though

I agree about less promo but Arashi just sold like 400k copies of their new single omg

All these famous boybandy and 48 girlie groups can't be beaten by anyone but themselves nowadays;)

It's sad, but I think he quality of Namie's (Kumi's and Ayu's, too) work is much better.

So let's not worry about those sales, Namie is famous enough after all;)

Does anyone here know the reason why Namie didn't sell pen light/light stick at her concert?
Sorry for a random question. After watching her concert I'm just curious.

Can I get an amen? :tcool

Don't know why exactly but she almost never has pen lights or fans at her concerts. Most people wave towels or pom poms at her concerts.

She must be one of very few artists in Japan not to have them. However to be honest, I'd buy a towel long before i'd buy a light stick. I'd be able to use a towel even after the show in my daily life. Outside a show I wouldn't use a light stick for much of anything.

I remember for the BEST FICTION concert in Taipei, the Taiwan fanclub passed out little pieces of paper telling us not to buy the unofficial light sticks cause it'll be distracting to her dancing~

^ That seems a bit silly. With all the stage lights in her face I doubt she'd even be able to see the lights in the crowd.

^ Yep....so that's why I still brought a light stick :laugh

^Plus shes probably used to lights. Every time she walks in a room its cameras flashing in her face with celebrities.

Agreed :yes
