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

[Zeke.]

Come is like the best Namie song ever. First one I heard way back when I would catch InuYasha from time to time.

[marty]

I don't have anything against Damage, it's just something very predictable =D
But you're right, it's early to get too worked up on the tracklist, anyway there's a lot of space for new, fantastic songs!

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Come is on Style, and I LOVE the Style album.

[Earth_maiden]

Am I the only person who really dislikes Come?

[inspire_rmx]

i love Damage. I really hope it will be on the new album.

You're not! I'm so happy someone else dislikes Come as well. I really never understood the hype with that song. It bores me, to be honest. And it just sounds very flat. Idk really.

I also hope Damage ends up on the album, seeing as it's ton better than most of the songs on Uncontrolled (IMO, ofc).

Really?? I never bought Style cause I couldn't stand it but the rip I had didn't have come so I just assumed, lol. How silly of me not to check a real tracklist

[jean-baptiste]

^I guess that person hated Come just as much as the rest of them.

I think it's a cool song.

Saying the title over and over makes it sound...weird after a while. Lol

[ILoveGeniuses]

^ saying it repediately sounds little dirty if u ask me.

[jean-baptiste]

^Lol! I'm blushing now.

Surprisingly, that isn't one of Namie's dirty songs. I don't think she has many. First one that comes to mind is WANT ME, WANT ME. Only Namie can sing a song like that and not cause her career to either take an extreme turn or go down the drain. She's loved too much.

I love Come, it's kinda different, great vibe

[chocopockymaster]

My 6-year old sister loooooves Come. Every time we're in the car she'll sing along to it (the whole song, even though she obviously doesn't speak Japanese, so it's this weird almost-Japanglish thing) and then when the chorus comes along she just screams COOOOOOOOOOME MYYYYYYYYYYY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. I've seen it a dozen times and it just gets funnier and funnier.

[pommy48]

My mom doesn't like any Jpop, but the only song she'll listen to is Come
Every time we're in the car, she keeps on bugging me to play Come

Come is the only namie ballad I will ever willingly play.
It's a great electronic ballad, and I always pair it with ami suzuki's bitter

bitter... is good too! But Ami's deep voice sometimes annoys me (although Namie's annoys me just as much).

I was obsessed with Come when I first heard it on InuYasha. It was my favorite of all the ending songs they have used. I found it so dreamy, and the production was fantastic. I love the way Namie sung that song and the composition of the melody/vocals. I am really picky about music, especially songs that tend to "bore" (meaning of Love, beloved, pretty much every single other Namie ballad and most of Ku's album fillers), and Come does anything but bore me. It actually gives me a bit of excitement in my chest while listening to it (but I think that's just due to how much I love the song). I find it beautiful, somewhat mysterious/chilling, and soothing. Of course nostalgia goes along with those feelings now.

[tsuki]

have you heard the original? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R4Y2otQGRo
I think it's the original thou.. not 100% sure.

But Namie's version is magical.

[marty]

COME is amazingly good! It's so atypical, but it works just perfectly!

[Delicious n Bold]

Oh god one of my fav namie songs is a cover. Granted, she did it better, but still... The question of purity and authenticity is huge for me..
At least the original sounds bad. Or is that because I'm used to the 'original'?...

[freedreamer]

I love Come!! One of the most awesome songs ever.

Anyway,

There were devoted Singaporean fans who stood by the Indoor Stadium today for the 'concert'.
Hope Namie will come again ><
