[Namie Amuro] Beautiful Namie Makes the Big Boys Cry - the 74th thread

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Wow another song??!?!? Sounds so refreshing and original, love the fact that she is trying new things

[Beauty4123]

"Can You Feel This Love" sounds pretty good! i can't wait to hear the full version!

[AyuGAME]

Im usually very happy. I just tend to ignore when other people complain too much.

However, this new song, I'm not sure what to say. I like it, but I'm not super over the top taken with it. I think I like it. However, it won't be a personal favorite of mine.

[Delicious n Bold]

i listened to sweet 19 blues and i found the whole thing better than anything released after uncontrolled, save for bbc

[Yumsushi]

Her Engrish may not be bad in this song, but it definitely has it's cringe-worthy moments.

I really don't feel like "can you feel this love" suits her at all. It reminds me of "only you" which I also didn't like at all. BBC was all bubbly and cute but it still felt like a Namie song. This one feels really generic and the kind of song I'd expect from an idol group or something. It has no cool Namie factor if you know what I mean

[ILoveGeniuses]

I LOVE "Only You". It's pretty. "Can U Feel This Love" however, feels a bit juvenile in its sound though. Not sure if that's the right word to use, but it doesn't sound overly mature to me. There's cute Kuu songs that sound more mature than this one in my opinion. -_-

[AyuHamasaki01]

A new song? Omg She's on a roll!

The new song sounds really amazing. Her english is so good in this song!

[freakybambi]

Big Boys Cry is awesome and Beautiful is really beautiful! ♥ i really love BBC music video too.

can't wait her next album.

[Rocky Raven]

BBC is her worst song, ever. I skip it right after the opening chorus. I hate those kind of melody. So cheap and terrible boring. Thank God 'Beautiful' was there to save this single for me.
Why can't she just sing something cool like Top Secret, Defend Love or Violet Sauce anymore? ==

[GREENsora]

^You'd think avex would realize that's the formula for artist burnout

[Corvina]

I don't know, but with this pace the new album is coming probably sooner than anybody expects.
Though all that happy light-hearted pop from her now...
I know she said in that WOWOW documentary not long ago that she wants to do songs for making people happy and feeling good for the upcoming album, but I need to get used to it. It's not bad though.

The fact is Namie is under vision factory management ! Avex has nothing to do with time between each release !

What are you talking about? The label decides when something comes out, not the management.

[Delicious n Bold]

Didn't she say that she wants to retire soon or something?
They're squeezing out every last bit of music, although the latest ones aren't even worth it.

[jiarongisme]

^ I think that was taken out of context. From the past interviews during the 20th anniversary promo, she said things that are along the lines of "I may retire soon, or later, who knows" I believe.

I couldn't wait to hear the song and I don't like it.
Too cutesy for me but I like the lyrics.
