I'm revisiting Namie's old stuff, specifically from between dreaming I was dreaming to I will. Not as good as her previous era because of her flawless second album but there's a lot of gems in this era. Say the word, love 2000, never end (finally like it), himawari etc

omg I don't know where I was when this came out but I just discovered the 80kidz remix of Damage and I am OBSESSED. Hollaaaaaaaaaa~~~
|
^That's one of my workout songs. When that sick as fuck beat kicks in when she repeats the "have you ever doubted your destiny" part, I just get so pumped and excited. The remix makes the song sound more bad ass.
|
^Can you tell me in which release the remix is included?
I would like to hear it, too=) |
Damage (w/80KIDZ Remix) was never released as an audio track. It appeared as the background music for the making of 'Damage' music video:
|
OKay thank you :-)

^ thank you for the download!
Edit: i finally gave it a listen and its so nostalgic. "and the girl who became a human being." classic. better than oh just a fart. |
^^Thanks a lot
|
It ain't got shit on the 80kidz remix of rule. Way more grit. Way more badass.
|
My copy of Live Style 2014 arrived today! Gonna start watching it soon!
I was also having a look at Namie's other tours. A shame the Concentration 20 Tour isn't still in print - the set list looks amazing! I will have to watch the digest on Youtube. |
^isn't the reprint avaiable anymore?
|
I was listening to the 80kidz remix of Damage, and the Shinichi Osawa remix of What a Feeling, and I decided that she needs more remixes. I'm amazed that she doesn't do remixes considering her songs are so dancey like Alive, In the Spotlight, and WILD.
so I made this. http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...61#post3121361 she's given us a few of them throughout the years like the ones I listed, but the last time she released a remix on one of her singles was the remix for CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK way back in 2006. |
I agree, she definitely needs more remixes! It's a shame she doesn't do them more often.
|
I had no idea there was a PV for DAMAGE. Does anyone have a download link available? :)
|
It's a weird single. She didn't release it physically, and it's not on any album. Similar situation with the Speed Star. I was so amazing when the tracklist for Feel came out and Damage wasn't on there.
|
I wish Beautiful and Damage were available to buy on iTunes.
|
I really want Namie to just release a B-side compilation or something. She has so many hidden gems in her singles that people often forget about. Especially the SPEED STAR, Drive, and exist for you.
|
^Well Checkmate was a great idea and project so maybe a bside compilation will be a possibility, until then it's just wishful thinking :(
|
Leavin' for Las Vegas have been my jam for the whole week
|
LEAVIN' for LAS VEGAS is one of Namie's best song I absolutely love it :heart
|
God I love that album. Namie looks overdead on the cover and the crappy butterflies are just the cherry on top. Not to mention love 2000 and somethin bout the kiss are my jams.
|
LEAVIN for LAS VEGAS Live

Ah, speaking of remixes. Here's my favourite Namie remix
http://www.djamaya.com/remix-works/n...oovebot-remix/ |
The first half of Genius 2000 is amazing! But man the second half is such a slog, it means it rates down there as one of my least favourite Namie albums, even if it does include I Have Never Seen.
|
As for Namie's old albums than I like "Concentration 20" the most. I never was a big fan of her early (pre-solo and debut) works and I like her hip-hop era (between STYLE and PLAY) only partially BUT for me her recent works (since "PAST < FUTURE") are just ace.
|
I'd LOVE a b-side Best from Namie (also one from Kuu), but as much as I want to see one, she's released a ballad compilation not even a year ago... So two best's in a row would be very unlikely imo, even if we're talking about avex.
For 2015, I want a new single before everything else :P |
I want a new single with 3 brand new tracks before her new album :D
|
I guess we may got only one single (in summer) before new album will come. These days J-Pop singers not releasing as much singles as they used to in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if there would be just some digital release.
|
If she releases a new album this year, I unfortunately doubt that she will include TSUKI/Neonlight Lipstick/Ballerina ... :(
What a shame ! All three are among the best songs of 2014 ! |
As long as we get new songs, who cares if she includes it in a new album.
You can add them yourself in iTunes. |
Quote:
Whilst watching the Live Style 2014 Tour I realised how many singles she's released. I only have Tsuki from Ballada so once we know what will appear on her next album (whenever that's announced) I can buy the rest of iTunes! |
Quote:
Today >>>> close your eyes, close to you >>>> |
Quote:
As for "TSUKI/Neonlight Lipstick/Ballerina" I don't see a reason why she wouldn't include them on new album? Even if not than I guess they'll be released later on another BEST album. |
I'm not a big fan of her pre-STYLE stuff but "Don't wanna cry" is my JAM!
|
Concentration 20 is defenitly one of her strongest albums and holds my fav single (how to be a girl). As for her pre-BODY FEELS EXIT time, shse had greta songs there. especially Try me and Go!Go! (that LS2006 performance OMGSY). I'm an all around Namie fan. She is my number one artist, but i admit I rarely listen to DT and OT Vol.1 in complete, same goes for S19B (all those remixes >.>). I admire all her different style throughout the decades though. (QoHP is my all time favourite album ;P)
|
Well... Namie is one of those who keep good level of quality in music all the time. No matter which genre she's trying it's always with good result for her. That's why she's still on the top (also in sales).
|
Quote:
I prefer a new album already, i dont want another Uncontrolled where there was like 3/4 new songs because she already released like 4 singles lol |
Quote:
I'd just want her to include Damage as well, but that won't happen... |
^And Beautiful!
|
Quote:
|
^ Wait, Beautiful was going to have a PV? o__o
|
Quote:
I'll try to find it again, but i'm not sure. EDIT : Actually, here it is xD https://www.facebook.com/video/video...=2936330823043 |
giving me lady gaga teas tbh
dwyw will never be released |
Here's a HD footage of 'Beautiful' video:
|
NEW SINGLE PLEASE? ITS BEEN A DECADE
|
^seriously. I'm ready for an album!
|
A new tour starting this September has been announced on fanspace
|
Quote:
|
So so ready for a new album after watching my Live Style 2014 Blu-ray (which I still need to post my thoughts on, I loved it!)
|
Quote:
|
I personally feel like Brighter Day just came out not too long ago, but I'm aching for a new Namie album just as much as everyone else. :yes
|
OMG I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL PV I'M SO MAAAAAD, I LOVE THAT SONG ))))): Whyyyy?
|
Tired of singles, I need another bang up album like "Feel". Seriously!
|
She already announce a new tour on September 2015, so be prepared for a new album before that!!
Quote:
|
I'm hoping for an album announcement soon, I really really want a new album from her already.
|
Let me save some money first, I'm broke.
|
If she shot a clip just for the CM then that's just as worse, so much potential on those seconds and wasted...
|
SitStayWaitDown was suppose to have a PV as well, but they scrapped that as well
|
I hape Beautiful has no PV...that CM is only pretty for 10sec but everybody would complain if it was a full PV.
|

|
Ordered the Space of Hip-Hop Blu-ray. Always was my favorite concert (became a Namie fan May 2005) and I am glad I will get to see it again in HD!
|
Quote:
|
Shape?
|
Isn't it "hate"?
|
sorry its hope ;P
|
With the new tour starting in september I hope we get a new album this summer, or a single, something D:
|
Quote:
|
I think it's time for an album, and I mean a studio album, not compilation.
|
^seriously. I hope we get some news soon!
|
I hope news comes when i have a biT more money.
|
I just had to ask...
Does anyone remember the radio version of COPY THAT which was leaked before the release of PAST < FUTURE and was different from the album version? If anyone has it, I'd really love to have it again. I'm really sad I lost that file. I remember listening to it a lot when I'd be going to and from school before the album came out and I'd really like to hear it again. |
Quote:
|
^Oh my god! Thank you so so much! I didn't really expect anyone to have it! You're a life saver!
Yeah, I do remember that the ending was different. And there's also little differences throughout the song that I can't explain very well now but I do remember noticing them before when the album version came out. |
Quote:
|
^ I remember noticing that the "electronic noises" were something completely new in the album version. I remember debating whether I liked the radio version more, lol. In any case, I look forward to listening to it again!
|
Yeah, the weird synth radio sounds aren't used in the version that's played in the vidal sassoon commercial.
|
Please share it !! <3
|
I love how now you can find almost anything from Namie on youtube!! :luv2 All the perfomances of Live Style 2014 is there, Also I found a couple of her full tours, 3 weeks ago I uploaded a Namie song and is still on youtube...

btw some random thing i found. many may not know that she had a different wardrobes for the Space of Hip-Pop tour 2005 which are not those that were wore in the dvd release. They were changed halfway through the tour
http://a.blog.xuite.net/a8/77/132099.../3899871_2.jpghttp://a.blog.xuite.net/a8/77/132099.../3899871_3.jpg |
^ interesting!
For anyone else who wants it: https://mega.co.nz/#!Yp4GzRia!zguYn5...iGhi2jGAx79QGY Copy That Extended! |
Thank you for the extended mix! I look forward to listening to it!!

INB4 brown is black in that outfit
|
will she never release new music since she changed labels or what?
|
She changed management companies, not record labels. Her releases have been under Dimension Point for almost a couple of years now.
|
Indeed. She's released two singles and Ballada under the Dimension Point label
|
FEEL was under Dimension Point as well. I think it was the first DP release, iirc.
In any case, I can't believe that album is almost two years old! :tired |
I thought it was, but I wasn't sure so I talked only about the 2014 releases hahahah
And yeah, FEEL still sounds fresh to me, while Uncontrolled got me bored already by the time it came out |
For me it's the other way round.
Uncontrolled is so much better than FEEL. Just kept two songs from the latter. |
^how dare you :)
but yeah, uncontolled is better in terms of standalone songs. |
I love them both equally but in different ways, lol. I used to think FEEL was my fave but then I bought Uncontrolled and really sat down and listened and fell in love. :heart Picking a favorite between them isn't possible for me :P
|
Quote:
Uncontrolled is messy as an album, the album versions are worse than the original versions and because it had lots of old singles it already felt kinda old the day it came out. The remix on the Blu-ray edition is great though, got me thirsting for a Namie remix album again. |
Quote:
|
Yeah, at first I was really disappointed in Uncontrolled (especially coming after Past <Future) but then it clicked one day. It's one of my favourite Namie albums and reminds me of one of my other favourites, Style.
Both Uncontrolled and Style have a good mix of different styles of songs I think. |
FEEL? Uncontrolled ?
PAST < FUTURE is the best of her last albums. IMO :) |
I love everything Namie releases tbh nothing is worse than the other. From PLAY to PAST<FUTURE to Checkmate! to Uncontrolled to FEEL. All fantastic albums.
