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.

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.

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.
