Spoiler:
Amuro Namie (安室奈美恵) is a Japanese "Hip-Pop" (Hip-Hop / Pop) artist from Okinawa. She debuted in a eurobeat group called the SUPER MONKEYS comprised of her and her classmates from the Okinawa Actors' School in 1992 with the single Koi no Cute Beat / Mister U.S.A.. Amuro became the leader of the group, and found success after their cover of TRY ME ~Watashi wo Shinjite~, which peaked at #8. In 1996, Amuro switched to avex trax and debuted with the single Body Feels EXIT, with her first avex album selling over 3.3 million copies. Her biggest single, the ballad CAN YOU CELEBRATE?, was the top single of 1997. After marriage and personal tragedy, Amuro continued to adopt a more R&B/hip-hop based style of music. She has sold over 27,322,155 copies in Japan alone.

Namie's "Let Me Let You Go" PV Preview


Kouyou 25th June 2013 10:07 PM

Holy crap, I had no idea Namie had such an amazing voice. :tired I can totally forgive the Engrish here-- her voice is astonishing!

aloopy 25th June 2013 10:11 PM

The chorus sounds very familiar to me... am I the only one?

Not sure if I like the song, but the PV looks real nice

Mirrorcle Monster 25th June 2013 10:22 PM

LOVE both PV and the song!

BlackSilence 25th June 2013 10:31 PM

OMG i think i am gonna love this, somehow her voice shows up in ballads than it does in upbeat tracks. No wonder i got into her thanks to Tempest. It's like it blooms in all it's beauty!

tho...since when does she play piano o_O ?

Lady~Deviance 25th June 2013 10:56 PM

For the record, I've never had a problem with her use of English in her previous songs ("In the Spotlight", "Hands On Me" and "Heaven") but in this song......

http://www.imgjoe.com/x/agif.gif



She still looks gorgeous though. :P

R_Hikki 25th June 2013 11:11 PM

It's no supplies x 10. Looks like they ordered more supplies.

Nice melody though.

Benikari47 25th June 2013 11:20 PM

Such a sweet song, her engrish can save lives.. "it's never rearryyyy over" :laugh
So far this is my least favorite preview, but it already sounds a lot better than Beautiful. Her voice is so strong here!

The PV looks stunning as well, it's like Get Myself Back <3 Which is one of my favorite songs and PV's by her!

EDIT: They need to upload the Alive preview NOW, they must be saving the best for last but flfdjfdkldf RELEASE IT!

CoriKaru 25th June 2013 11:35 PM

Old "ALIVE" Preview I don't think anyone ever found or posted.


And with that my interest has waned.

#Crestfallen

P.S.-->No regrets in saying I'm really tired of her change in sound and singing in full English. It's not really what I come to her for a'tall.

Imma have to let that "Let Me Let You Go" preview go..

Benikari47 25th June 2013 11:40 PM

^I'm pretty sure we had that posted earliere, it sounds hot as fawk either way!

CoriKaru 25th June 2013 11:44 PM

^Oh okay. Must have missed it.

It isn't bad, I just hope the song is a little more diverse than that..

Delicious n Bold 26th June 2013 12:04 AM

Alive's preview is rearry good, but Let me let you go is meh. Namie plays piano? Or is she faking it? Maybe she finally composed something...........

Maybe I'll have to step up and get the CD/DVD. I haven't even ordered it yet so..

George 26th June 2013 12:10 AM

I really don't like the direction she's going with her music. I do understand that change is important and I'm glad she seems to be enjoying herself. I just can't get into these new songs. I never really had any major issues with the use of English in her songs but to be perfectly honest I'm starting to rather dislike it. I can deal with a couple of verses here and there or even a whole song in English... but that is obviously not the case. I think I wouldn't be as disappointed if the songs weren't unimaginative or generic. As a fan I feel such guilt feeling this way.

emi♡ 26th June 2013 12:11 AM

I am such a piano ballad person.

Her english is...It's just that, you know, when you have the pure piano and vocal combo, it's like they both have to be really perfect, because it's the only thing to concentrate on.

I like her vocals, but I think it would have been 10x prettier in Japanese. Just my ears though.


I don't mind her direction, cause I actually like the songs. Thing is, I really only listened to Namie for the whole, live and dancing thing, and I never thought her music was all that imaginative. With the exception of Past < Future, which I think had a more diverse sound....but then, I barely liked any of the songs lol

harufi 26th June 2013 12:19 AM

As soon as I heard "rearry" I couldn't pay attention to the rest of the song uhh D:

TeamAyu2004 26th June 2013 12:23 AM

Both previews are nice... Someone needs to tell her about her Rs...

prussian blue 26th June 2013 12:32 AM

The scene is absolutely beautiful, and Namie with piano is such a surprising combo.

toLOVE 26th June 2013 01:36 AM

Will the album just leak already?!!
Let Me Let You Go sounds rearry beautiful. I for one am happy that Namie's taking a new direction in music. Her old music are good, but I want something new and refreshing. That's why I LOVE Namie <3 She sounds pretty different in almost every album.

AyumiSEASONS 26th June 2013 02:01 AM

I really dont care about the engrish, the song/video is amazing sounding so far.... lol. I really like the alive preview too...

Benikari47 26th June 2013 02:16 AM

Can't believe her vocals went from this:



To "Let Me Let You Go", she clearly did her homework lol. That song.. just no.

I thought that was a SNL-esque melodramatic skit joke thing when it first started. Cannot believe that that was ever put out to the public on television as a real thing to sell something.

EDIT: HAHAHA

jean-baptiste 26th June 2013 03:17 AM

I love everything about Let Me Let You Go.

I had no idea she played piano. Her vocals are on point, however I could slightly hear the autotune. Just slightly, but that doesn't bother me: who doesn't use autotune.

I'm not gonna complain about another song in English. I'm a ****ing English speaker. Better for me!

Namie... *slow clap*

I'm with you in this and I agree about the whole it's a piano + vocal only song so it needs to be really perfect. Although at earlier I started to dismiss my concern about her Engrish but Let Me Let You Go made my concern even worse. I love her vocals in other Piano ballad like Beautiful because it's in her native language so she can sing it perfectly. But this? I love the scenery, her looks and her playing the piano but the way she sings an English ballad? :no

They better release Alive already, I feel like it's my savior for her English releases in this era :laugh

jiarongisme 26th June 2013 03:51 AM

I'm really liking how it sounds. Yes, I would've preferred it to be in Japanese, but the English doesn't bother me as much... Yet. Maybe I'll be more/less annoyed with the English when the full version comes out. But the song sounds like a beautiful one.

pheonixflame15 26th June 2013 03:51 AM

I don't care for Namie's ballads usually with the exception of Baby Don't Cry and Get Myself Back, but I LOVE this new ballad. The PV is beautiful!!

ILoveGeniuses 26th June 2013 04:42 AM

I LOVE LMLYG & Alive Previews!! They sound FANTASTIC!!! In Fact, This Entire Album Is Slaying Me... except for BBC which I like but still needs to grow on me more.

Btw, did anyone else notice that CDJapan STILL hasn't updated the tracklist info on the album's item pages? -_-

ak.malfoy 26th June 2013 05:16 AM

Dear Namie, I love you, your music and your continuous self-reinvention... but all the English singing is starting to get a little out of hand. Not that I'm saying it's bad, but you still sound so much better in Japanese.

PS - I'm still getting the album though! :D

Delicious n Bold 26th June 2013 05:22 AM

I don't know which version to get anymore. Maybe CD Blu Ray.
Getting this album for sure now and I like all 3 covers.
Hmm. I'm rearry impressed. LMLYG is gonna be the new song of which I make fun. Heaven, Hands on me and alive are just total jams. I don't care what language she speaks, just give the jam and peanut butter. I love how she gives NO ***** sounding piss poor when speaking English. It's probably my fav Namie trait. She seems fearless.
Even contrail and bbc have grown on me. This is the most ive ever cared about a Namie album. At most it's 3 songs. Here it's 4+.

SunshineSlayer 26th June 2013 06:57 AM

I think LMLYG sounds and looks fantastic. People are being way too picky about her pronunciation.

Possessionless 26th June 2013 07:42 AM

Album cm:

jiarongisme 26th June 2013 08:02 AM

^ Pretty sure that's fanmade.

Anyway, Taiwan press for FEEL is up for preorders at 5music. (If anyone other than me and Karen is interested lol)
Seems like the poster is generic for all versions. Still not sure how it looks like though. I'm gonna preorder the CD+DVD one now!

Namie... *slow clap*

Pretty much how I feel! I like the songs so far, so I guess I'm really happy for that. I hope the people not liking this new direction like her next album perhaps, or get into some of the other album tracks on FEEL. :)

THIS.

I don't mind her Engrish that much in fast-paced songs, but in a ballad it's just too obvious. Anyway, it's a nice song regardless and she looks gorgeous.

I'm really looking forward to hearing Alive in full

toniayu 26th June 2013 09:15 AM

I'm happy about namie singing in english,anyway I hope she doesn't stop making songs in her native language.
Yesterday I preordered my copy of the album YAY!

TeamAyu2004 26th June 2013 09:50 AM

getting more and more excited about this album.
at least one of m girls (out of the three. you know who you are!)
Is doing something right this year.

BlackSilence 26th June 2013 10:23 AM

somehow i think even for her singing english in ballads is much more easier, i mean it all sounds clearer, while in up-beat tracks it just sound like a mess at least in the new ones, because i franckly never had a problem with any other english track from Uncontrolled *shrugs*

Surreal17 26th June 2013 10:33 AM

I don't like the preview for Let Me Let You Go but the pv seems absolutely gorgeous. I'm kind of excited for Alive.

It says that playing the piano was Namie's own idea. The scene was shot in Los Angeles in a mere 20 minutes.

BlackSilence 26th June 2013 12:46 PM

^really? but seriously i had no idea she can play the piano!

Benikari47 26th June 2013 12:50 PM

A tad longer preview, the intro is beautiful! :love http://www.yinyuetai.com/video/696819

ILoveGeniuses 26th June 2013 12:54 PM

The poster is AWESOME!! :heart :D

Also Namie has the absolute sweetest most adorable expression at the end of that short LMLYG news making clip. :) :heart

Btw, just curious, but am I only one who noticed CDJapan STILL hasn't updated the tracklisting for the album on their website?

AyuHamasaki01 26th June 2013 02:00 PM

Let Me Let You Go is beautiful :heart And the PV omg, I want the full thing now!

Gustavopc 26th June 2013 02:20 PM

Seeing Namie playing the piano warms my heart :heart I love when artist start to get more in touch with what they're singing. Already loving this song :love

ILoveGeniuses 26th June 2013 02:29 PM

I SOOO Wanna See Her Play It For The FEEL TOUR This Year :blove :blove

Piano is one of my 3 favorite instruments. :heart

Lady~Deviance 26th June 2013 02:35 PM

I'm loving everything about this album, how I am supposed to wait until the 10th?! Time is passing painfully slow :tired

marty 26th June 2013 03:11 PM

Amazing poster!
And, wow, after Let Me Let You Go I'm officially super-hyped, such a perfect preview, both for the song and the video! That's a BIG point for this album. And I love her messed-up english, 'cause it reminds me she's japanese, I think it makes her songs unique, and I kinda find it super-adorable. But I find adorable and super-perfectly-cute Ayu and Kuu's english, too, so maybe I can't speak about it!XD
After Heaven, I'm so happy about this preview, it woke up my full interest again!

inspire_rmx 26th June 2013 03:17 PM

I'm just abit disappointed that Let Me Let You Go is in English. But nevertheless the PV totally made up for it :)
Alive preview sounds totally kick-ass!! She definitely save the best for last. SOOO hyped up for this new album! can't wait any longer (secretly hope that the rest of the tracks in the album will be in Japanese)

ILoveGeniuses 26th June 2013 03:20 PM

What PVs are still left that we havent received a preview or seen in full yet?

あーちゃん 26th June 2013 03:21 PM

Here's the lyrics for Let Me Let You Go MUSIC VIDEO-short ver.-:

Strolled by your house today wondering how you are
I know you think of me we can’t just be a blur
Then I saw a sign that said “do not disturb”
Tiny little words, three tiny little words.

Every time you leave you say that someday you’ll be back with me
Every time you leave you say “It’s never really over”

I don’t wanna hang onto this love no more
I’m trying make it like it was before
Let me let you go
Trying everything to end this mess tonight
And I’m ready to wish you the best tonight
Let me let you go

Sometimes it feels like there’s a wall around your heart

^I dont think even the full song is out yet. :(

I'm surprised the Full PV of LMLYG isnt out yet. With the others the full versions got posted rather quickly.

Also, I enjoy her English very much & can understand her very well. Just I do think that if any part of this is doing English for her International fans, she could hire someone to at least help teach her to pronounce the words better.

My only problem with this album is that it's too much Engrish... Hands on Me being all in English is ok, it suits that song, but Heaven and Let Me Let You Go probably would sound just as good (or better) in Japanese...

ILoveGeniuses 26th June 2013 05:00 PM

Are there ANY HQ Screen Caps from any of the PVs yet at all? I keep searching for em and coming up empty. :(

harufi 26th June 2013 05:24 PM

That poster is :heart
I don't like ordering anything, Japanese music-wise, that I haven't heard the full leak of, because it's such an expensive mistake if it turns out to not be to my taste...but at the same time THAT POSTER <3

The promo picture is amazing.

I always loved her english, she keeps on practicing and she keeps getting better.

I agree.

She basically sounds the same in LOOKING FOR YOU and that came out 13 years ago, I actually think she sounds better in LOOKING FOR YOU compared to a lot of her recent full english songs lol. idk I'm still excited for this album but I wish she only did a couple of verses in english or something

^Certainly LQ i'll say. Had the volume up to max and could still barely hear it. -_-

adantatu2 27th June 2013 01:05 AM

Let Me Let You Go is boring for me, i only like some namie ballads, but at least the pv is going to be pretty

Gustavopc 27th June 2013 01:21 AM

I hope Alive PV doesn't end up being those scenes with her face all over the city *praying*

toLOVE 27th June 2013 02:23 AM

I wonder if Alive going to be the opposite of In The Spotlight.

Instead of her going across places in the city, for Alive we'll see her faces in adverts across the city....oh God please no :laugh

toLOVE 27th June 2013 05:07 AM

I don't really mean different as in different PV, more like the song. From the preview of Alive, it sounds like she needs someone in her life to keep her Alive and happy, but In The Spotlight, it sounded like her only need the dance floor and herself to be happy.

Delicious n Bold 27th June 2013 05:15 AM

^At first I thought that because she didn't write the song, that fact means nothing. BUT she can choose the songs that she likes, so maybe she chose it for that reason.

terra 27th June 2013 05:37 AM

I thought Alive was not as dance-y as In The Spotlight based on the current preview, it's like semi-trance and dance? Idk what you call that, with that kind of heavy beats dominating the chorus with an autotune, reminds me of Zedd song, Clarity as I said before.
Maybe the full version will differ but that's how Alive reminds me of so far :D

tokyoxjapanxfan 27th June 2013 07:03 AM

I love that promo.

I would be completely satisfied with a PV full of her face around the city. Although I'd be more satisfied if her face really was all over the city.

Benikari47 27th June 2013 09:47 AM

Where is that PV for Let Me Let You Go?!

^ Hahah that tumblr person trusts the lyrics from TV News lol They got it wrong so many time, when 'Love Story' was first released they showed the last sentence as "Cause that's our love story" which is not correct at all lol

I think that it is indeed "I don’t wanna hang onto this love no more"

Chiharo 27th June 2013 11:14 AM

I must admit that I love the part of lyrics in Alive that go like "Rescue me my lover, kiss me back to life". I have no idea why. I'm really excited for Alive, and I like how LMLYG sounds, even though I'd prefer if it wasn't completely in English. Hands On Me and Heaven, on the other hand, I just completely dislike. Also, I like Can you feel this love because it's just all cutesy and happy. But still, I don't regret cancelling my preorder.

ILoveGeniuses 27th June 2013 01:30 PM

I :heart The Candles Scene!!!! :blove

Btw, OT, but the "luv2" emoticon hasn't been showing up for me ANYWHERE on AHS for about a week now... Anybody else finding this too?

Not Fade Away 27th June 2013 01:54 PM

Namie was mentioned on Hot 995 here in DC and they were like "Left Eye's family is pissed a Japanese singer did the rap in the 20th anniversary edition." And played Namie's part so I wrote in explaining who she was and why she did the collab lol - I'm waiting to see if they say anything on the radio.

ILoveGeniuses 27th June 2013 01:59 PM

^*confused*

Not Fade Away 27th June 2013 02:57 PM

^lol the 20th anniversary edition of TLC's 'waterfalls' - Namie collaborated and sang Left Eye's part - I'd post the clip but I'm at work and can't do it from my phone

Anyway I guess they're mad that Namie's Engrish in the song ruined Left Eye's part - according to Left Eye's family - I think it's dumb tho - anyway I had to go in to work before I could wait and hear if they mentioned the topic again

wow LMLYG is beautiful... I don't mind that she sings in English... makes it easier for me to introduce J-Pop songs to my friends :3

Namie mentioned in media outside of Japan is good news to me, even if it's something silly like that.

Zeke. 27th June 2013 04:32 PM

This was also discussed on "Kidd Kraddick In The Morning", but they pronounced her name "Nay-mee Amuro" lol. They also didn't seem to know along with the updated version the originals were also included. Kidd made a semi-racist joke "They had to change the title of the song to 'Rotterfalls'" lmao.

Which is quite sad because Japanese does have a 'w' sound.

I'm not surprised by this at all actually. This whole fiasco was a major trending topic across various media and news sites believe it or not. I thought Namie's addition to the song was unnecessary (awful) but I personally don't think it was that big of a deal. :shrug

The various racist remarks I've seen were just downright :no. A lot of hip-hop enthusiasts are not happy about the collaboration and the fact that Lisa Lopes's family is not on board doesn't help either.

The good news is, many people are now curious about Namie's music and some of them actually like some of her songs despite being in Japanese.

Like everything else in the news, this will blow over soon enough. ;)

Benikari47 27th June 2013 05:15 PM

And all this is happening while Namie get's paid, doesn't give a doo doo and give them that glorious dead-pan look.
