Of course, she sold concerts out in her prime in less than ten minutes! (Just to emphasize your point)

At those who don't know:

(1995.10.16 - Dance Tracks Vol. 1 -With The Super Monkeys-)
1998.01.28 - 181920 (Single Compilation)
2002.03.13 - Love Enhanced Single Collection

In essence, she released four (because she was the sole person credited for vocals on Dance Tracks.

Yeah, that's true... but don't try to tell her fans that, or they will try to kill you xDDD Even so dancing and singing at the same time (even to not hard songs or choreography) it's very hard... I just wish she doesn't look so cold this time... She aways seens so cold when performing...

And if I'm not wrong, Namie shows aren't 3 hours... they are the usual 2 and 1/2 hours pop concerts are, don't they? Even with the 30 songs...

Seriously, I wish I could know what DVD of her has u watched to tell that was true? Have u ever tried to sing her song(without dancing) once?

Where are you getting 3 hours cause as I recall I didn't see anything about that, yes her tours range from 2-2 1/2 hours but it's also been said that she doesn't stop to talk or do an mc, she moves right along with her tour which can be very exhausting, trust me, sometimes I can only get through 21 songs of hers and then quit because I'm already exhausted so basically what she does is amazing.

And I'm sick of people saying she's cold when she performs, I will say this 1 more time only because it nags me. Whatever theme the song carries is the theme her facial expressions, body language and whatever else goes on will carry. If it's a sexy song she's give off a sexy vibe with her dancing and her face, I happen to find her cold face for the sexy songs extremely hot.

With a ballad I can see she looks emotional, and with fun songs like New Look, Funky Town, and something like No More Tears is where she smiles a lot. You just have this one-sided case that goes through your head thinking Namie only has 1 expression when it comes to performing when that's not even the case.

Rocky Raven So Crazy tour, The space of hip-pop tour, Live Style, Play tour and a lot of random performaces on the internet... =) And yeah, I know how to sing some Namie's songs (and I'm taking vocal lessons) and I can say they aren't that hard, even if they use to have multi-layered voices... so, she aways needs back-tracks of her voice, what makes it even easier to her singing her songs... and that's nothing wrong with this... her songs are easy and her coregraphies are easy so she can sing and dance at the same time... if she had hard songs (some of her ballads are hard) or hard dancing moves, one of then or both wouldn't be done very welll =)

Celaphorce: Sorry but, IMO she is very cold when performing up-beat songs... but since Play Tour she is warming up... I really have high hopes of a very warm performace this time =)

^ Only because she has absolutely no breaks in between. The only reason Ayu's PCDL ended up being close to three hours was because of MC and breaks for costume changes between songs. And people really shouldn't say that it isn't that difficult for Namie unless you have actually seen it....

To say that her dancing isn't difficult, makes me question whether you have really seen all those dvds you say. I agree somewhat in terms of Play and Live Style that the choreography, even to me, wasn't as impressive as the past. But So Crazy in particular was very very good. And the Best Fiction tour was great as well. The concert really builds and the choreography and dance actually gets better as the concert goes on.

Also, in terms of the "cold" thing. It seems with the hip pop style, she does like to present that kind of image. Also though, you need to look at her history and her earlier performances. I've mentioned this before, but after the death of her mother I think she changed quite a bit. She became much more guarded over her emotions, whereas in the past, her performances gave off much more emotionality - lots of tears and smiles.

ooh awesome should i buy her dvd when she realese it

Finally someone else who actually knows what they're talking about!!! At least I agree with everything you have said in the sense that it feels like things I should have said but didn't know how to say.

You are the one who is comparing her to Ayu here... I don't even think they do the same kind of concert and I think they both have very dificult tasks in very show on their own... I was just saying that Namie's concerts aren't 3 hours long...

Sorry... her choreographies don't impress me.... but I know that if she had difficult moves while singing, she would sing very bad live... as I said, her dancing is easy and her songs are easy to sing... doing BOTH at the same time is very hard, and it would be impossible if her songs or her dancing where harder... So, I would like that in the next time people read ALL my post before quoting me....

About being could... I know she wasn't like that before her mother death but I don't care... we are not in 1996, and I'm not worried about what she has done, I'm worried about what she is going to do and how she is envolving as a performer.... if she is cold now (and I don't believe it's anything with the hiphop thing) I'm not going to use her old emotional performaces to say "oh, but she is so emotional" cause this is alread in the past.... I'm waiting to see how she is going to be now

I'm happy for her! I love her customs too!

Oh please. do she look cold when she sing CAN YOU CELEBRATE? Ningyo? NEW LOOK? GIRL TALK? it depends on the kind of the song and the lyric.

You can't pretend Namie to smile and be girly when she sing SO CRAZY or Hide&Seek etc XD

I think that she seens cold when dancing (I agree, her ballad performaces aren't cold) 'cause she is concentrated on the dance moves and singing... To me that's her "concentrated" face.... but as I said, since Play Tour, I feel that's she is warmer... and I think that the "cold" thing will not be a problem on Best Fiction Tour DVD^^

I suggest you to watch her first tour then =) She was not cold in there ^^

About BEST FICTION, you are right, she won't be so cold because I was there and I saw a smily and happy Namie with girly songs, but still the same cool Namie with upbeat songs =)

Sometimes I can really piss off some fans of artists I like (Namie in this case) because I'm very harsh when criticizing them... It's just because I really like to see that they are getting better over time =) So, yeah, I really like and respect Namie as an artist and I think that she was a far better performer at Play tour tham she was at Live Style... And I'm really waiting for Best Fiction Tour 'cause I have the feeling that it will be even better!^^

[Alessia_Tateno]

Actually I like almost all her tours but for me the best ones are Break the Rules tour and SO CRAZY Tour LOL While my least favorite is Space of Hip Pop, but I know that 90% of her fans prefer one of her recent tours instead of old ones.

But again I repeat..I like the cool Namie and if I would see her to be smiling and girly when she sing something like ALARM or SO CRAZY etc I would think WTF, is she retarded? LOL And I'm not a fan of GIRL TALK (it's my least favorite song of her) maybe because it's one of her girly songs but instead I like NEW LOOK very much, so I don't know why not GIRL TALK...XD

[Andrenekoi]

XD I don't expect her to smile and stuff like that while performing the hip hop songs... but... well, I don't now... maybe what she likes to do with these songs just isn't my cup of tea^^

I really wanna se Do me more being performed *---*
