This is the first time i saw this new alternate photoshoot of 'QoHP' cover :love

And i finally get to start a new namie thread after a long long time!...


　

cool thread title
i don't like that poster tho
i didn't know she'd be in magazines next month!

So, she is gonna perform songs? Probably NEW LOOK again huh.

Talking about NEW LOOK, can someone please download this file and upload here at AHS?:

EDIT: ^which perf is that? i can't torrent well cos my ISP have "shaped" it to super duper low speeds


haha, so fast we move to new thread.

speaking of QoHP, i always laugh when i see some concert-goers cosplaying "pink & namie panther" to attend her concerts, LoL

it's the performance from BEST ARTIST 2008. (broadcasted on 16 December '08)

Love the poster, she looks really sweet in it.

if you can get decent speed from MF, try the wespai link

Yay, a new thread, can't wait to see the new mags... :)

Awww I never get to start a Namie thread. =( Cool poster, I love discovering new Namie pics.

I like the poster of QoHP that's already known better.

She looks latina in that poster lol

Yeah she's really tanned there.

She's looking a little bit tired at that Best Artist performance. You can see the black circles under eyes. It was a pre recorded one and she still looked a little bushed. Good thing she performed New Look though. It has one of the easiest dance of the songs she's released.

I love that poster too. :)

I can't wait for the magazine scans. We're in need of some new Namie images.

yeah but why is she gunna be in magazines?

it's not like she has any promotion to do right?

but it will still be nice to see new pictures of her! :)

I want Namie to announce a new single already ~ Stop touring and bring me singles XD

^ she can still promote her tour in the mags. i wonder how the ticket sales is going.

I actually like that pic more than the one they used for the actual cover... 0.0

That poster is HOT to me! Hehehe.
She looks so glossy, yet very dark.

I too wonder how her ticket sales are going.

She may announce a new single or something! We can hope, right?

We could also probably see some tour pictures in the magazines. =o

I made this cover for XMAS love song collection, I know it's so urgly xD so dont hurt me XD
I'm not good in graphic design
http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/5...alalbi8py3.jpg

I did post in in the wrong/old thread!XD

^hmm, the pict is like a cross between her WL and Hello look

yeah, X'mas is coming, time to rewatch the PV and put WL into repeating loop :P

lol! I did that to NNN last year and felt like doing it again this year. But i think people must be bored of WL already so i never did that :P

^^^ It's nice. Namie looks pretty.

Rocky, it's so purdy!!~ Good job

It's very nice, Rocky. A lot better than what I could do.

is this a picture of a bootleg DVD or a licensed China version? IINM, the pict is that of Namie's Shanghai 2002 perf? LoL

http://www.tokyo-nights.org/photos/d..._tour_2000.jpg

i wonder if Namie bootlegs are popular in Taiwan, China, etc........ :mischief

>_< i never see bootlegs in taiwan, probably because i only go to legit stores
but anyways, next time when i go back...and BEST FICTION tour isn't out yet, what concert should i buy?? which namie concert is just absolutely amazing compared to her others?

Too bad it's not the real cover :( I really like the one.

Namie performed in Shanghai before? o_O

Pommy: The Space of Hip-Pop tour was pretty nifty as well. =D That and her So Crazy tour and Live Style. =o

i'm too biased to choose any over the others. but So Crazy Tour (mostly TK hits) should complement BF Tour DVD well.


the Asia Music Festival 2002 in Shanghai perf is pretty short though, i've never seen any videos of it.

http://www.namiestyle.jp/live/w_2002asia.html

^maybe it was from there that her China fanbase grew?

*looks at link* Oh, she was with a bunch of other artists too. I wonder what she wore for the performance. How big is her fan base in China?. Currently?

I don't think I remember her performing in China! Awesome!

She should should do the same for BEST FICTION tour, like she did with the PLAY more. She should branch out to other places of Asia. Hopefully Singapore for the first time. :)

Haha I have that DVD in my house! =D I bought it in 2006 n it's China-Made cover XD but 2bH, I prefer it to the original GENIUS 2000 tour Cover!

n thanks for ...not hating my pict XD

I like the cover of that too. XD Aww, why did those bootleggers have to make such a nice cover? Mostly the covers are really bad.

They're testing your love. Can you resist a good cover but it's a bootleg or will buy the offcial pproduct with not so good cover? avex is so evil, lol.

^ Yes they are! avex better make a really good cover. lol

D: Who even cares what the cover is like in the long-run, anyway? Totally irrelevant. If it's a nice cover then well, it's a bonus.

I see "GENIUS 2000" is this for an old tour or her current tour?

Oh dear! Y________________Y I did post in the previous post: "I have this DVD in my house" which mean, it's not the new thing and...
Her current tour is BEST FICTION tour not GENIUS 2000 tour :thud
http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/555/bfash3.jpg

haha, so confirmed it is a bootleg. anyway i posted the pict cos i was hoping the bootleg included some footage of her Shanghai 2002 perf, that's all.

With the cover thing, I just want Namie to look nice. :yes

^ It is all I care about for anybody.

^ lol... :X


Hmmm....I really wanna know what's up in her personal life ^^- How old is her kid now? :X...what's his name? It starts with a H...

CUTE?:bbarf If that what u really wanna see from Namie, go for another artist
Thanks God she has a COLD-DARK style since 2003 until now
And what the same thing every year stands for? Temme which DVD of her have u watched!?!
btw, the pict of her bending over w/z her legs open...It's not the first time dear!

^ Calm down, it isn't that serious.

Haruto is the name and he should be 10.

well, she does wear similar "stage" costumes since her supermonkey's days :P
its her "look" and i think she feels very comfortable with it on stage.

haha, one day she'll shock everyone - maybe she come on stage as a bare-footed Bollywood princess or she'll come on stage with her "rooster" hairstyle (PSA, Alarm, DMM) or short hair wig, LoL

Yay for the new thread *_* Namie will be at CDTV Countdown on 1st january?

Wow *___*

I hope someone will record it cause I will be out that night ^^

And did you ever seen this before?

Small movie (or dorama?) DRUMMER GIRL

http://dailymotion.alice.it/video/k7ytOnTCemymB8f8yW

I wish YesAsia would sell the BEST FICTION tour goods.
Who's with me?

(sorry, this was random)

I really like the BEST FICTION tour outfits :yes Especially the DMM one.

http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/8...ap62413yq6.jpg

:luv2, i dunno what is going on, but is this a TV variety slapstick comedy show?

^ oh wow... xD;

^^ Um... I don't even want to know about that picture. :laugh

The drummer girl sketch was bizarre, as Japanese shows usually are lol. It was funny when she hit the door xDDD!

Is Haruto the boy in this CM?
http://dailymotion.alice.it/video/x4...amuro-cm_music

Some srs fail going on in this thread.

The concert outfits are very hot/cute and they are definitely NOT the same thing as each year.

And people are SERIOUSLY going to ***** about coochie shots now? Some people will find any excuse to *****.

^ No it's not but he is very cute all the same. She's very protective of her son lol, the only full shots of him that can be seen are his baby pics. Not gonna lie, I'm really interested to know what he looks like now, but it probably won't happen (or at least not for a while). Speaking of that, I bet she won that case against the gossip mag.

And regarding the arguing over her true "style", um, it's pointless, since she can clearly pull off cute AND cool with ease. Though I am very enamored with her more hard urban look. :thud It goes very well with her tanned appearance. I miss that and I wonder if she will go back to that some day and not leave it as a thing of the past. Her style nowadays has been more "sophistated" and "grown-up" but she sure as hell could still look great with her urban look that she loved sporting.

Also, new pics on UH+'s blog!

http://namienewsnetwork.blogspot.com...fiction-8.html

Namie in the snow ftw. :P

^ The pink bear is too cute!

http://dailymotion.alice.it/video/x4...amuro-cm_music
I don't know if I would let random people stroke my hair.

^^ Namie is so cute.

Does anyone maybe know where I can find a jacket similiar to this?:



(the jacket is from the brand Slant Wise, I've checked their site but it's not really helpful, and it's located in Japan)

hey there, new member! :) mostly went through parts of the thread, but i have always wondered, how long was the relationship with sam until it ended and in what year?. if anyone can tell me, it'll be much appreciated!:) As well as what happened to their relationship and the current relationship? >.< just very curious

They got together is 1997 and broke up in 2002.

^ Why did they break up again...?

she mentioned abt her wish to hold a solo concert in China to the hostess back then, too bad it hasn't happened yet

I don't think it was ever mentioned as to why Namie and Sam divorced. If it has been, someone say so.

the hostess are good in chinese and japanese 0_0 amazing! i wish i could be like her! and namie is soo awesome! i love her damce moves in that era!

edit: and since when the chinese translation of say the word is "xin yu" LOL :laugh

Sam betrayed her with younger girls (as if Namie is old lol she is already 16 years younger than him) and his family was terrible to her and he never protected her from that, at least that's what newspapers said.

is this a JPN/CHI fansite? anyone can contact the webmaster to re-up this clip?

Thanks Alessia for the info.

@acougan, it's a Chinese fansite.

That's easily in my top 5 Namie songs. I always wish it were a bit longer...

^ Me too.

I actually prefer Namie's old PVs. I was watching them for an hour today.

Don't know what made me bring that up. XD

Thanks alot, oops i forgot about it XD! anyway thanks again, i will show u guys my presentation power point slide when it's finished! =D

@xLitax
Which PVs were you watching?
The reason you bring it up was that their they're entertaining to you(?).

How far back are we talking?

^I like her Mr. USA, Stop The Music, Sweet 19 Blues, Dreaming I Was Dreaming, How To Be A Girl, A Walk In The Park, and Don't Wanna Cry...they're all pretty good...sorta...lol

I love them too! Utter cheese, but it's because I have a type of appreciation for that stuff, whereas most would be like "eww not modern".

^ Like Walk In The Park, Body Fells EXIT, How To Be A Girl, Love 2000. Pretty much mid-nineties to early '00s. :yes

LOVE 2000 = <3! I also like Did U, Say the word, Dreamimg I Was Dreaming, Try Me ~Watashi wo Shinjite~, You're my sunshine

^I love the bunny pictures! So cute!

she looks kinda weird with short hair... *_*
but still beautiful <3

I know they'r old but...DO ME MORE hair style XD

^ Oh I love that photoshoot. :love

The natural look works for her. The pic kinda reminds me of Anna Tsuchiya.

I love her DO ME MORE hair sooooooo much... If I had hair I would totally rock that xD;

I can't find that Vidal Sassoon stuff at my store :(

I'll look online I guess....

^ If you had hair...? Are you bald or something?

I love her glasses!!!

Dreaming I Was Dreaming is the best old song!
I wish she could release something like that again, I love the 90s club-sound feeling in the song really really really!!!
She's 20 when she sing it n I feel like it's a song from a very mature artist.

erm, i do have her "idol" photobook. she look so young in those photos - potential jailbait , LoL.

actually by '97, TK already influence her image into more mature and classy, trying to shed off the "teenage idol" label. the concentration 20 tour concert really reflects that.
