ABOUT NAMIE AMURO
Spoiler:

Namie Amuro (安室 奈美恵 Amuro Namie, born September 20, 1977) is a Japanese singer, entertainer, and former actress, who, at the height of her popularity, was referred to as the "Teen Queen [of Japan]" and is referred to as the "Queen of Japanese pop music". Born in Naha, Okinawa, Amuro debuted at the age of fourteen as an idol in the girl group Super Monkey's. Though mostly unsuccessful, the group gained popularity during their final year together with the single "Try Me: Watashi o Shinjite" (1995). Amuro left Toshiba-EMI after releasing two more solo singles; she continued her music career as a solo singer with the then-small independent label Avex Trax. Under the guidance of producer Tetsuya Komuro, Amuro quickly became a commercial success, producing several million-selling records and starting several fashion trends. Her single "Can You Celebrate?" (1997) became Japan's best selling single by a solo female artist. However, in late 1997, Amuro put her career on hold to focus on her pregnancy and marriage.
She returned to music in 1998 with the number-one single, "I Have Never Seen", but faced slowly declining sales. After unofficially severed ties with Tetsuya Komuro in 2001, Amuro joined Suite Chic, which would transform her from a pop idol to a R&B artist. Since reinventing herself, Amuro has achieved newfound interest. Her seventh studio album, Play (2007) debuted at the top of the charts and was followed by "60s 70s 80s" (2008), her first number-one single in ten years.
Over a decade since her musical debut, Amuro has remained one of the longest surviving popular female acts in Japan. She is the only Japanese female artist to have achieved a Top 10 single each year for fourteen consecutive years. She also continues to successfully combat social stigma as a divorced, working, single mother. On July 30, 2008, Amuro released her first greatest hits album, Best Fiction, since transitioning to R&B music. It spent six consecutive weeks at the number-one position on the Japan's Oricon weekly charts, and was elected as "the best album of the year" at the 50th Japan Record Awards. In 2008-2009, she toured Japan in support of the album. Estimates predict that she could play to an audience as high as 400,000, potentially the largest audience of her career.

I'm beyond excited for this album! Even though I'm not sure I like the title D: But it's all the KICK ASS music on the inside that matters tons more! It's number one on my Christmas list *-*; What song that hasn't been previewed or released is everyone looking forward to? Mine is FIRST TIMER! That's a new addition to the tracklist, no?

Great first post btw aloopy :D

i want to hear what "LOVE GAME" and "Bad habit" sound like. i hope they'll be dance songs like a lot of the ones on PLAY. so far we just have WILD for a dance song and i'm so sick of it. if "FAST CAR" is a dance song too i'll be so happy, i can't wait to hear what that one sounds like.

jbrat2219 24th November 2009 03:13 AM

It sounds like she'll have a good mixture of slow tempo and fast tempo songs! With room for experimentation! I'm not looking forward to slow ones though. Also, I'm still not sick of WILD or Dr. at all.... I was listening to them today actually!

I'm excited for FIRST TIMER as well! because it's a duet and I love her duets :D
I'm excited for all songs actually, since I have no idea what to expect from them..
and thanks! :cool

and I'm sick of WILD too.. overplayed it XD I still love Dr. though <3

RikkuChii 24th November 2009 03:35 AM

^ :laugh I have the same problem. I wish I haden't played WILD so much.

nemesisyume 24th November 2009 03:43 AM

I've kinda become a instrumental freak so I've listened to violet sauce and WILD instrumentals a million times.
still havent overplayed WILD - I'm one of those weirdos who never gets sick of any song. if I like it once I like it forever.


mcluva420 24th November 2009 03:45 AM

LOL I never get sick of WILD either :P (cuz I don't overplay it lmao)

love in music 24th November 2009 03:54 AM

yeah i overplayed it, and at first i was able to tune out the engrish then it started bugging me so i just don't listen to it anymore. Dr. is still pretty cool, it's one of her most unique songs imo.

KarenPang 24th November 2009 04:06 AM

yay new Namie thread :heart & you did a great job to the 1st post Alex :D

jbrat2219 24th November 2009 04:25 AM

I don't think I overplayed WILD... I think my Zune profile says I played it just over a hundred times, but counting the times I listen to it in my car, it's probably 200 total xD;.

pommy48 24th November 2009 04:29 AM

I don't think I overplayed WILD either, only 251 times~ The song is just so addicting! I don't think I'll ever get tired of it! I'm the same as neme~ once I'm hooked, I'm hooked for life lol

dreamland2.0 24th November 2009 04:35 AM

I still really like WILD as well!! Plus I love the dance in the PV!!

jbrat2219 24th November 2009 04:36 AM

I'm only like that with certain songs, I guess WILD might qualify :laugh

visionfactory 24th November 2009 04:40 AM

Can't wait to listen to Steal my Night and LOVE GAME!!

Not very excited about The Meaning of Us though.. I couldn't listen to the preview to the end -_- I hope the PV will make change my mind about this song..

jbrat2219 24th November 2009 04:59 AM

I want to ask an honest question, but I'm slightly afraid it will turn into a fight x_x... So please let's be mature.

Not to compare any one artists to another, but do you think that in the age of acts like Beyonce and Gaga that Namie's dancing really good? I always defended Namie because she's one of the few who dances live and sings at the same time. But to me it seems like her dancing has become worse and worse as the years go on, both live and in PVs. Also, I have not seen the BEST FICTION tour yet! So if she's really amazing there, I'd like to know! Because honestly, her dancing has been lack luster for me. And age isn't really an excuse for me, Janet Jackson is still killing it. I'm just hoping that in her upbeat PVs that the dancing will be super amazing!

yeah you should watch BEST FICTION tour, her dancing was really good there except for a few songs where she got lazy. i think in her PV's her dancing looks just so.. lifeless, it's weird. but on tour she seems to be better.

jbrat2219 24th November 2009 05:09 AM

^ I'm getting the Blu-ray for Christmas :yes

I just want her to captivate me again... *-*

Janet Jackson is also lip synching these days. :) Plus, I don't know about the majority of Lady Ga Gas performances, but I actually saw her live pre-fame when she opened for New Kids on the Block - I was very close to the stage and she was very obviously lip synching the whole set list. I'm not sure how she is now, but nothing that I've seen of her lives have been too impressive to me dancing wise.

But, as for Namie - I've mentioned this before too. Her dance ability has not gotten worse, but her choreography has. She switched choreographers in 2006 and ever since then it has not been as good. I felt, even when I saw it live, that the Best Fiction tour had good dancing, but wasn't like WOW level the majority of the time. I really really wish she would go back to her old choreographer.

GaGa doesn't lipsynch anymore, trust me.

I kinda like The Meaning of Us, it's very sincere and pretty, but it's not really catchy or something that demands multiple listenings to. Maybe it's the quailty (I hope)

I'm sorry, with the Janet Jackson thing, I didn't mean live... I meant in her PVs xD; Sorry! I'm a bit tired and maybe I wasn't clear. But for Gaga and Beyonce I meant live and for Janet Jackson I meant in music videos. But like I said, I'm not comparing anyone I'm just saying there seems to be people with far more superior ability than Namie and she doesn't really captivate me anymore. And maybe she switched for that very reason? Because she doesn't feel she can dance as well anymore? I mean if she has the ability why would she stick with someone who obviously doesn't help her deliver her best? Certainly she has to notice the decline of decent choreography if we do.

Andrenekoi 24th November 2009 06:06 AM

I don't know about Gaga's pre-fame stuff, but she never lip-synched any performance I watched, even if she uses a backtrack (Namie do that too). Still, yeah, her dancing is not amazing...

One thing that Janet is known for is lip-synching... and her live dancing isn't that good nowadays...

Beyonce almost never dances and sings at the same time... And when she does, she either uses a backtrack or a very easy coreography most of the time

The only singer i can think about that dance and sings live at the same time nowadays besides Namie is Madonna (her Sticky and Sweet Tour was entirelly live if i'm not wrong),

so... yeah, Namie get points on being able to sing and dance at the same time (even if IMO neither her dancing or her singing are impressive, even if both are good)

過ぎていた たくさんの月日が

風に乗って ふわり舞い戻った

そうね、少し落ち着いた仕草で 懐かしい響きの 名前で私を呼んだ

あの頃と同じような 照れくさくなったり 

何だか大人になったアナタに 少し戸惑う


* もし全てのことに 何か隠れた意味があるのならば

そうきっと あの瞬間に 始まっていたんだ私たちのstory

手を振る姿愛おしく見えて 分かった

愛の The Meaning Of Us.


(The Meaning Of Us...)


背伸びしていた 生意気だった私

かっこつけてた 幼かったアナタ

まるで昨日のように 思いだせるけれど

そんな相手は この世に一人しかいないわ

あの頃に 描いていた 未来とはちょっと 違うけど

アナタがいてくれたら 強くなれる...


**もし全てのことに 何か隠れた意味があるのならば

そうきっと この瞬間を 乗り越えるために アナタと出会ったのね

その背中 頼もしく見えて 分かった

愛の The Meaning Of Us.

She said she did it by ear and it may not be 100% correct.. I'll romanize later

I mean if she has the ability why would she stick with someone who obviously doesn't help her deliver her best? Certainly she has to notice the decline of decent choreography if we do.

I don't know, its hard to say. Some people might actually feel that this choreography is better. Plus she obviously still has the stamina to pull off difficult dance considering the length of the Best Fiction tour and the number of songs at each show.

Alessia_Tateno 24th November 2009 06:08 AM

Hmm I think Namie's choreographies become worse but I enjoyed BF tour...plus I never got an impressive feeling with Lady Gaga and about Beyonce, well she is a GREAT singer but I guess she cant show off that powerful voice with dancing so she need to one or the other.

I think the only one that impress me about dance is BoA, she really can dance! But BoA cant dance and sing at the same time and when she tries that the dance lose all the "wow" feeling of the video (and lives in Korea since she dances a lot there but she is in playback).

jbrat2219 24th November 2009 06:08 AM

Thank you for the lyrics :)

I'll probably romanize them myself... I need the practice x_x.

love in music 24th November 2009 08:57 AM

aloopy 24th November 2009 09:01 AM

does she say... "get it up boy"
LOL...

prussian blue 24th November 2009 09:01 AM

^same me too, i guess i have to wait to HQ version of it

it does sound different yet boring. Or maybe i'm not into jazz songs?

Rocky Raven 24th November 2009 09:02 AM

OMG! Forget about The Meaning of Us, FAST CAR is amazing hohoo I love the beat! <3<3<3

nemesisyume 24th November 2009 09:16 AM

oh my god FASTO CAA is sooo nice!
I love the music!
to me it sounds like she would say give it up

nemesisyume approves


SunshineSlayer 24th November 2009 09:21 AM

Totally different than what I expected. :) She is definitely going into a new musical style with this album. Can't wait to hear this in high quality.

emi♡ 24th November 2009 09:25 AM

the new song is so interesting!

ayumi.hamasaki 24th November 2009 09:29 AM

I can't wait to hear FAST CAR

PURIN 24th November 2009 09:52 AM

so far the songs have been gettin progressively worse
my fave 1 my love 2 copy that 3 meaning of us 4 FAST CAR
not really what i expected, i dont really hear any "car" elements lolz

TITANIC 24th November 2009 09:59 AM

thanks for upload. I dont really like FAST CAR. >.<
yeah maybe should have to listen full song

jiarongisme 24th November 2009 10:28 AM

FAST CAR sounds like a really fun song to me! :yes

KarenPang 24th November 2009 11:13 AM

hmmm judging from the radio rip of FAST CAR , the hook is addictive I wouldn't deny

but it's no Hide & Seek that's for sure but hopefully the PV will change my mind on it but this's hawt still :P

Rocky Raven 24th November 2009 12:27 PM

I think FAST CAR is 100% better than Hide n Seek(Just me maybe)
=] I love the busy feeling in the song!!!

I really really love Hide & Seek but FAST CAR (even the low quality) just
sounds like something that makes me happy and want me to use the repeat
button that I only use once in a blue moon.


UHPlus 24th November 2009 01:40 PM

I'm guarantee that the promotion video will make people thinks differently to the song...

^ ooo we're getting closer!!
FAST CAR is really great!! I love the saxophone!! <3

nemesisyume 24th November 2009 02:23 PM

I see some sexy lips there


freedreamer 24th November 2009 02:28 PM

FAST CAR sounds really funky...I can totally see it leading into COPY THAT. I not sure if I like as an opener track...but it sounds like nothing I have heard before and Namie's voice is soooo saucy hahaha

that funny sound effect sounds so..hahah...i dunno. Whenver a song has a title like "FAST CAR" or "Driving" i just imagine a scene where u drive down the road

UHPlus 24th November 2009 02:30 PM

:irked :irked :irked :irked :irked

It like we almost saw the covers but it's only like 1/5 of the full picture...they are tolerating US!!!!

So near yet so far!!!

:irked :irked :irked :irked

darkswordz 24th November 2009 02:34 PM

FAST CAR and COPY THAT are total hits in my opinion :luv2 I have been putting FAST CAR in repeat mode for quite some time already :yes It seems to me whatever namie touches recently will turn into gold and that's really scary =S

Looks like namie is really creating a lot of suspense with the cover :D it better be good!

lunlunlunlunlun 24th November 2009 02:38 PM

O,o that pic is not fan-made?

elepop 24th November 2009 02:50 PM

J-Pop has been so boring lately. I need some Namie now!
I agree that Namie is creating lots of suspense for the cover. I cannot wait to see how it turns out!

Some special edition clip show...

I swear she says "stir fry" at 46sec in the song.... It sounds a lot like "butterfly" :yes

OMG THAT TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!!! I love Jazzy songs :D Especially mixed with pop! I'm not going to listen to it until I get the album though >_<; Now I have something great to look forward to!

AyuSecret* 24th November 2009 03:51 PM

I'm a tad bit disappointed with FAST CAR... Think my expectations were up to high, Talkin' bout "COPY THAT!" and "My Love" and "WILD" and "Dr." level high...But no, I'm determined to listen to the whole album first...

aloopy 24th November 2009 04:18 PM

FAST CAR sounds so good! but I understand why people don't like it lol. it's just soo different.

the only song I don't really like so far is COPY THAT.. it's fun but not as good as the other ones imo

and omg THEY NEED TO SHOW US THAT DAMN PICTURE ALREADY

AyuHamasaki01 24th November 2009 04:19 PM

I loooooove FAST CAR. It's such a cool refreshing song! I love it.

hpg23 24th November 2009 04:24 PM

The new bit of cover, she looks really sexy and pale... like a sexy dead xDD

Looks it's going to be photoshopped like hell, just like WILD/Dr. was xD PLAY was more natural on that matter.

Rip that friggin poster already girl!!

(maybe the pieces of the broken poster will stand under her feet xD)

Luja. 24th November 2009 04:24 PM

Just saw there is a new Namie Thread!
I am really happy with "The Meaning of Us", it's a beautiful ballad <3 Way better than "My Love" in my opinion! :D

nemesisyume 24th November 2009 04:24 PM

FASTO CAA is totally going to my top list of namie songs with:

dipuit in the vayaret soy
can you sell a plate
kick somebody let's get wide


kotora 24th November 2009 04:48 PM

FAST CAR seems like underspeed.

何だか大人になったアナタに 少し戸惑う

* もし全てのことに 何か隠れた意味があるのならば
そうきっと あの瞬間に 始まっていたんだ私たちのstory
手を振る姿愛おしく見えて 分かった
愛の The Meaning Of Us.
(The Meaning Of Us...)

背伸びしていた 生意気だった私
かっこつけてた 幼かったアナタ
まるで昨日のように 思いだせるけれど
そんな相手は この世に一人しかいないわ
あの頃に 描いていた 未来とはちょっと 違うけど
アナタがいてくれたら 強くなれる...

**もし全てのことに 何か隠れた意味があるのならば
そうきっと この瞬間を 乗り越えるために アナタと出会ったのね
その背中 頼もしく見えて 分かった
愛の The Meaning Of Us.

it's pretty close to mine by ear. so therefore, whoever that was who said i shouldn't, then i wont stop xD
anyways, enjoyy!^^

EDIT
Spoiler:

I'm not Japanese, no, but these are the lines that I got in similar with the Japanese person when writing:

"Sugite ita takusan" "higa"
"sukoshi ochitsu ita"
"Natsukashi hibiki no
Namae de watashi wo yonda" "nattari"

"Moshi subete, no kotou ni
Nanika" "imi ga" "no naraba
Sou kitto, ano shunkan ni" "Hajimatei tanda watashi-tachi no story
Te wo" "sugata" "miete
Wakatta" "the meaning of us"

"shiteita" "watashi"
"osana katta"
"Maru de kinou no you ni
Omoi daseru keredo"
"Sonna aite wa kono you ni"
"shikanai wa"

"Ano koro ni egaite ita, mirai to wa chotto
Chigau kedo anata ga ite kuretara
Tsuyoku nareru"

"Moshi subete, no kotou ni
Nanika" "imi ga" "no naraba"
"Sou kitto, kono shunkan"
"Norikoeru tameni, anata to deatta no nee"
"Sono senaka tano moshiku miete
Wakatta" "the meaning of us"

"Watashi no aru bamu,"
"Shitteru egao no toki
Itsumo anata ga, every" (still think it's page)
"Soba ni"

I still think it's "I know the meaning of us" because in google translator it doesn't make sense as "ai no" "love the meaning of us?"

Mr. Goto 24th November 2009 07:39 PM



for the people who don't wanna download the radio rip.

Interestinggg

JackieRos 24th November 2009 08:03 PM

Maemi 24th November 2009 08:27 PM

The Meaning of Us sounds boring. I haven't downloaded FAST CAR yet, I'll listen to it later... It sounds good.

ayuayu798 24th November 2009 08:33 PM

I love fast car!! That song is awesome! Meaning of us on the other hand is a little boring.
