[Namie Amuro] The 77th Official Thread「FEEL」

[ALfromHELLSING]

Damn Heaven is catchy. Having it on repeat right now, but man I could never imagine that she's singing Heaven at the beginning of the chorus. I thought it's hell through.

[khan5]

the new cm seems to contain a new song called neon lipstick but its not a song on the album feel, you think it could be a new single to be released after the album.

This. Exactly. And since by far and away the majority of listeners are going to be Japanese, the Janglish may be intentional.

@Chiharo: I love to blame Avex for everything, but in all fairness, they're just the company that distributes Namie's music. Her label is the one that produce her music.

Also, people are looking over a fact that has kinda flown under the radar - this album is being released under Namie's very OWN record label for the first time.

@Chiharo: Sorry for the misunderstanding. It was silly of me to assume you were being naive. It's hard to fully understand another persons opinions via computer and not in person. But all is well now.

Btw, do you like what you've heard from "Neonlight Lipstick" so far Chiharo?

I hope so, the song is so amazing, and the CM is gorgeous, Namie looks like a beautiful Snow White in the forest

[emi♡]

You're just acting out so you can get attention.

...like your...everything?


@Sunshine: I didn't know it was being released under her own label. That's amazing.

I wonder...why?

[Delicious n Bold]

Am I the only one that absolutely loves namie's new direction and actually likes her more for this new direction?

Mind you, I have this huge penchant for electro music (hence why I somehow like You & Me >_<). Also, trashier the better.

[emi♡]

Namie thread gettin ratchet.


I don't think either of her sounds is superior to the other...but I find this one more entertaining. A lot of her hip hop sound is very basic, and the same here, but, I find the track layers more enjoyable in edm.

I'm hoping for more hybrids. Some...other...artists took a while to integrate the electronics nicely again into their albums. I'm really curious what the next album will sound like.

[CoriKaru]

"Neon Lipstick"

Yas.

Shame it won't be on the album. Guess this album just wasn't meant to be good.

[BlackSilence]

sometimes it looks to me that this forum is full of trolls rather than fans xD like wth is going on in here!

You must forgive me as her English is rather bad and I couldn't make out what it is she was saying in one of only 2 songs she has put out this era that are good.

You forgot "Magic of Love".

[TeamAyu2004]

LOL... this page is amazing so far. LOL

But I like the direction her music is going in. Hated the R&B crap (yep it is. crap. R&B should have never been allowed in music frankly.)

Her english can go away slightly... she can use it, but I like my suRprises... just not supplies.

[tenshi no hane]

You're on a roll, CoriKaru

Namie's really going into a new direction, so it makes sense some fans will be disappointed. I see the same thing in Miliyah Kato's thread. It's ok to state your disappointment, just don't care drag it out endlessly. No one likes a downer.

I personally don't care for Namie's older stuff so I'm really looking forward to her new album. I hope it'll leak early~

[harufi]

So far I'm 50/50 with FEEL, but I preordered CD+DVD anyway Also used up my CDJapan points on their 10% off on her singles

I can totally see why people are split into loving/hating her new music. At least fans here are respectful when expressing their opinon

[Gustavopc]

When are we gonna get previews for the non PV tracks? I'm dying to listen to a bit of Poison and Stardust In My Eyes, those titles got my attention at first sight... Hope they wont let me down

And judging from what we've got so far, they wont.

[TeamAyu2004]

its one week till release! We should be getting the leak soon!

[Benikari47]

What happened in this thread? Apparently you can't state opinions anymore.
Anyways, i'm still waiting for that Let Me Let You Go PV, it's getting ridiculous now. I NEED IT NOW NAMIE

[TeamAyu2004]

Actually peoples opinion are running freely, which is good.
What people cant seem to get is that when you have opinions people will have opinions on that opinion.
IE get over it.
this isn't really directed at you, just in general because this seems to be a recurring problem everywhere in the forums.

There's no need to apologize, I'm aware that it's easy to read something else (especially when a person doesn't express themselves clearly in their original post, which happens to me a lot) and have misunderstandings over the internet. I really do appreciate your kindness and understanding.

Oh, and as for "Neonlight Lipstick", at first the snippet of the song didn't appeal to me, but now as I've heard it a few times I must say that I think I'd really like the song in full. I suppose Namie's new direction won't be all that bad as I originally imagined it to be.

I thank everyone who at least tried to understand my wall of text post, and I apologize to everyone who it might have irritated or offended. Like I said, none of that was my intention.
