OMG I love the setlist. And she opens with Stranger!! I miss TSUKI and Fight Together but I'm so happy apart from that! Can't wait for the concert!!! :luv2

Mint's analog cover is STUNNING. I'd love to get a copy <3

HERO is growing on me :3

I think of her albums, PLAY or PAST<FUTURE had the best overall balance for me in terms of pop and hip-pop (even as she called it -- it wasn't pure hip-hop, and it wasn't pure pop...it was a blend!).

I loved FEEL, but have been less enthusiastic _genic and subsequent singles which are just so devoid of personality to me. Everything is just over-produced now, and could literally be any club girl singing on them. I also wish she'd use more Japanese, though _genic does beat FEEL in that way.

Most of all, I just miss something with more attitude/edge. I feel like the gritty aspect of her music has been pretty lost. It has in her image, as well, with her having tattoos removed, etc.

Namie has a way of making the most generic style or genre of songs very fun to listen to. If Uncontrolled, FEEL, and _genic was released by any other artist it would be garbage that no one would bother with after a listen. So even if she never returns to the hip hop days, I will continue to find songs fun to listen to.

I do really miss her tattoo though. I understand that perhaps she moved on from that stage in her life of paying homage to her deceased mother, that perhaps she just didn't want to deal with covering it up for photoshoots anymore, and that tattoos in Japan are looked down upon, but thats part of what made her attitude. Its like "yeah I know tattoos are a no-no but IDGAF". And I do find tattoos on women incredibly sexy.

The lottery is over and tickets are sold out, they usually sell out quickly after they go on sale. Japanconcerttickets.com doesn't deal with Namie's digital concert tickets (or it could just be their BS excuse they told me because they weren't able to secure tickets before they sold out). Your only choice is to use ticketcamp.net to buy from individual resellers, but they are expensive. They ask for atleast double the original price of the tickets.

And that setlist is great, so so SO glad Love Story is back.

Agreed! It's very pretty indeed :yes

The goods look amazing <3 also, I'd love to collect the acrylic stands and magnets, probably won't tho lmao seems like a very difficult (and expensive) task tbh

She looks awesome, as always :love
And I love the goods. I'm going to be so broke... Lol

Hmmm I kinda dislike that Hero outfit, I imagined it to be ... more glamorous xD

I'm in love with the stage!

I want to hear her sing HERO live!

any news about that new song?

I like it better than the original covers :laugh It's really beautiful.

I dont like the setlist at all... I expected older songs and non-singles songs :(((((

I am fine with the tracklist.

But I agree that she may need few more older songs :)

I wonder what that new song sounds like.. dancing? ballad?

I love the setlist, the stage and the goods! It's gonna be another amazing tour by her. But i do agree that she may need few more older songs in the setlist. Would be really nice if she will to sing Shine More, Queen of Hip Pop, Copy that, Top Secret and Violent Sauce.. just to name a few.

The tour only started on Fri & she still has 87 dates to go . I'm sure along the way , the setlist might change

I will be surprised if Namie utilises the same setlist from start until the end

she rarely ever does that - if so, she only adds new single tracks. I think we can assume that there will be no new album of any sort until april - only maybe a best of with three new tracks.

The one on the left looks amazing :heart

The LS Tours are basically rehashed performances from other tours.
Nothing new here.

News footages of 'LIVE STYLE 2016-2017'

^Thanks for sharing!

That stage is so cute! And I love the encore outfit <3 But that red blouse with black belt is so lame.

she looks great:luv2

What a lousy closing ceremony for the Olympics, I was hoping Amuro-sama would make a surprise appearance performing Hero.

Completely out of topic, but I was watching some performances from LIVEGENIC, and oh my god, SWEET KISSES is such a good song, but it was totally ruined by that female dancers section. The same happened in COPY THAT back in PAST FUTURE TOUR :(

I actually loved it when Abe appeared as Mario :laugh

Why would she perform at the ending ceremony? Hero is just the song theme for NHK :~

^ Well Leona Lewis performed in the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony

But she's well-known internationally, so that I can understand. It would be weird if Namie performed.

^ We can only hope for her to perform in the opening ceremony. :)

Meh, AKB48 will perform instead of her :laugh

^ I would really hope they wouldn't. They're really loved in Japan but to the entire world it might seem a little too... cutesy? Like way too much cutesy. (I'm really not trying to bring them down. I promise. I'm mostly saying this because I'm personally not a fan, I admit.) I would hope they'd go for someone who releases music more internationally fun and a great performer. If not Namie than at least Koda Kumi. Hell, because of her international work they may even choose Utada Hikaru (If she doesn't go on another millennium break by then.) Oh, ONE OK ROCK would be awesome. I mean, I doubt they'd choose a rock band but Taka's performing is nearly unbeatable with all his energy/awesome vocals and their great rock tracks. They'd really get the crowd pumped up. (Like I said, I doubt it, but a girl can hope xD)

But it really wouldn't surprise me if they did choose AKB48. At all.

I thought that Japan did a really cool thing there..especially because of the boring Brasil part...when Japan pop out...it's really stands out and made a huge difference...

I don't like the costume she is wearing on that Hero performance like somebody said feels christmasy...but I believe there is a huge possibility that the costume will change especially because this tour is very very long.

Hero is not the only song used to cover the Olympics . Fukuyama Masaharu-san , ARASHI & EXILE's latest songs were all used to cover it , within different TV stations

I wouldn't expect Namie to appear/perform at the closing anyway . Seeing Japan PM Shinzo Abe dressed up as Super Mario was weird but hilarious

Today , outside Aomori-shi Bunka Kaikan

I thought it was nice they did the female intro during so the chorus gets repeated, but it might have to do with her female dancers just aren't as visually impressive as her male ones. Only Miki and Hiromi intros are fun to watch but thats mainly since they do gymnast flips.

is the pamphlet available somewhere? I wanted scans but I can't find it :'(

wow a lot of newer songs from uncontrolled -> FEEL -> _genic in that setlist.

The Tokyo part on the closing ceremony DESTROYED that lame ceremony, thank god they appear it!! And is not because im a Japan lover or something like that, but seriously, Rio was the worst of the worst. Only the athletes save it lol.

I think Namie have a high chance to appear in the ceremony, Im sure they already preparing the ceremony lmao.

okay, seeing the tracklist, I guess there won´t be any album released this year?! :-/

With a tour of 88 going into next year, it really wouldn't surprise me if we didn't get an album this time around.

Though there is a new song on the setlist so we could expect a single

Today , outside Aomori-shi Bunka Kaikan again

Guess the alternate Mint poster giveaway at the concert venue/s is helping it stay afloat a bit longer on Oricon

ZIP! TV will tomorrow morning broadcast footages of Namie's new song that she debuted/sang during the tour

I love these balloons bouquet <3

Those are very pretty but at the same time they ain't cheap . Probably a few hundred $ & above for such a big 1

Normally a few fans will chip in $ to send a balloon bouquet although there're incidents where it's only 1 person that does that which = super rich

Big news for Namie!

Promo pic in the article!

http://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/deathnote2016/music.html

Ahhhhh this is awesome!!!! I hope Fighter will be a dark rock song :luv2

We already have some previews!
I think I will love Fighter!!
Dear Diary is a classic ballad:

Cool :luv2

If those are the covers I'm so buying this!!

It's such a great tie-in for her, can't believe it :laugh I think that is the official cover too, it looks amazing! However, I'm not blown away by the song previews, but we'll see/

Queen is pumping out those singles, three this year alone. Work it girl

I am still in such shock over this (amazing!) news. :luv2 Leave it to Namie to still look fierce - even dressed in all black. :laugh :heart I'm really liking the previews of both songs & already cannot wait for this double a-side single! :yatta

Don't like Fighter, but Dear Diary is more my style :)

I hope for a less CGI focused video...I'm kind of done lol

Neither of the songs seem interesting to me, but then Mint didn't either in those tv reports and I loved the full thing. The photoshooting seems really promising, hoping for great covers, I feel a WILD/Dr. vibe

My sister is a big Dead Note fan so I'm sure she will be stoked on this news even though she's not really a big Namie fan

That said Namie looks great in the promo shots . I wonder which was the song that she debuted during the tour ? I think it's Dear Diary ?

According to http://natalie.mu/music/news/199352 , both songs will be released as Namie's next double A-side single although for now there's no release date set yet

I never ever ever ever ever in all my years would imagine NamiexDeath Note. I was a HUGE fan of the anime back in High School, though I've hated every single live adaption they've done since. That said, I love Fighter, not totally crazy about Dear Diary but I always keep an opened mind until the full songs are released. Can't wait to hear more. This girl is on fire this year, holy jeez.

That's amazing news! Awesome tie-in. I'm really REALLY liking the previews, which I can't say for any of her singles after _genic. The possible album cover art is also spectacular. I have high hopes for this single.

Uff these previews really do sound promising. Can't wait!

On another note, I gotta say Namie's been really transitioning out of her EDM sounds lately. A lot of the songs in this era could easily fit into her PLAY-Uncontrolled eras (for example i totally see Mint in P<F, Black makeup in PLAY, and Fighter in Uncontrolled). Not that I'm saying it's a bad thing---I'm just really surprised since it seemed like she was going to stick to the genre after FEEL/_genic lol. All of her singles (even including Brighter Day) have been sounding soooo jpop-y. I love it.

Dear Diary / Fighter will be released in Autumn

https://www.facebook.com/NamieAmuroO...140616/?type=3

Probably an October release ?

Also I can't help but giggle at the fact that the god of death is smiling more than Namie is. Lolol

When is the movie released? LOL
the single should be near its release

loving Dear Diary! I need to hear Fighter in full but its has a promising beat :)

Death Note Light up the NEW world will be released in cinemas on 29th Oct so probably Dear Diary / Fighter will get released on the same week as the movie

http://cdn2.natalie.mu/media/eiga/16...nw_amuro_2.jpg

http://cdn2.natalie.mu/media/eiga/16...nw_amuro_1.jpg

That's a lot of eyeshadow on Namie o_O

dear diary is amazing

(a little bit) longer & clearer preview of "Dear Diary"! I love the song!

Namie and Death Note. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

Yay for a new single and that tie in!
Love her pace now.
But so far I don't like both previews much.

I love fighter, but then the line "gonna make my frown go upside down" got me like :rolleyes

So happy with the awesome news! Great tie-in s for Namie this year! Loving what i heard so far especially dear diary :) can't wait!

Shininamie yaass with all those great tie-ins it would be a huge surprise if she didnt include these singles in her next album. Would probably also help sales and maybe outsell _genic but that's just a guess and a big reach lol

Fighter sounds so good.

I haven't given a shit about Japanese music (other than Godtada announcing her album) for a while but Dear Diary sounds AMAZING

both previews sounds good:D

Holy crap Namie and Death Note holy shit!

She just keeps coming with these singles - I'm loving it! Chuffed with the Death Note tie in too!

Not a fan of Death Note to be honest but I like the two songs. I'll wait until the release before making a proper judgement but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love both.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe she has a son that's already 18 years old.

I'm happy to see they kept his face out of the pictures :)

Woooow!! Nice back hahaha

Sadly I have to agree. Don't know, I used to really like her but since a few years I find her generic as hell. Ok she always made generic music, but it was fun and I really liked it. But lately it sounds like promo leftovers from western artists.
Well, I guess I have to wait a little longer for something from her that I really like.

Frankly I will be really surprised if Red Carpet , Mint , Hero & now Dear Diary/Fighter will not make the cut in her next album

I think it's time for Namie to return back to release Japanese music in her studio albums once more . I'm not asking for another PLAY sequel though
