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

[freedreamer]

still waiting for a 320kbps to come out soon
but here are my thoughts

1)Alive - LOVE THIS! Play this in the car and gosh, it's just mindblowing. Would love more bass though haha.

2)Rainbow - This is definitely a feel-good song and there's some 8bit-ish game sounds that makes it so cute. I love her voice here. (Is there some japanese here?)

3)Can You Feel This Love - Didn't like this one LOL

4)Big Boys Cry - I did like this when it came out. Now it's alright. The music makes it really unique.

5)Hands On Me - This really makes me wanna move. Great track!!

6)Heaven - The opening sounds soooo 90s pop and retro. I love the electro though.

7)Poison - I think the chorus is so bada$$ HAHAHAH!! Is there Japanese here too? Yea! This is like a twisted cousin of Top Secret for me

8)La La La - I think this is alright lol. the music is nice but it's a bit too happy for me haha.

9)Supernatural Love - Whoa whats with the rap/talk section!! it's amazing and omg love the chorus!! This song is so unique. (yea LOL...i can totally see a K-Pop grp singing this song..like f(x)/2NE1)

10)Let Me Let You Go - I want the lyrics to this song soooo bad >< I love this ballad. It's so heartfelt and the lyrics, I can really relate to.

11)Contrail - This song really grew on me! It's beautiful and carefree I love it.

12)Stardust in my eyes - Ooo the opening sounds great. The western feel haha. Yea! the chorus sounds feel quite Owl City too. Beautiful closing song.

THIS ALBUM IS SICK!!!!!!!!!! I NEED CLEAR 320KBPS HQ!!! this album deserves that

[Jester]

I'm looking for official credit for every songs.
Great album anyway.

EDITED: My bad, I did a research and Zedd only done Heaven.

[TeamAyu2004]

Sadly it's mostly in English again... But I like this album. All tracks are really good but Poison.

[Corvina]

Hm, I'm not impressed, this album isn't doing much to me.
After two repeats most of the songs sound pretty annoying.
Though Alive is definitely one of the best songs she ever put out!
Similar to Come, I'm a sucker for such songs!

Favourite songs:
Alive
Hands On Me
Contrail

Nice songs:
Let Me Let You Go
Big Boys Cry
La La La

Bad songs:
The rest, especially Heaven and Poison

Just like about the half, I won't buy it.

[*hearT_Place*]

Oh, wow, I love Alive!!!

[ILoveGeniuses]

@Delicious_N_Bold Mine hasnt actually shipped yet. My guess is Monday it'll be shipped, but even with EMS i'm doubting it'll be here by Wednesday.

Also i havent listened to it in FULL yet. Don't want to. However, with everyone saying "KPOP Girl Group" sound from Supernatural Love, it's making me nervous. I HATE majority of KPOP, especially the girl/boy groups. Only group I do like is 2NE1.

[R_Hikki]

Overall, I'm impressed with the album. It's very consistent in most aspects.

Maybe some of the songs sound "generic" in the sense that they sound similar to what other international artists are doing, but I look at it and say "Namie can do it too, and maybe even better."

I was most impressed by "Rainbow" and "Stardust In My Eyes" but I'm not disappointed at all by the other songs.

[Delicious n Bold]

@SoldierofSilence
I think that it will be here by Wednesday. Cdjapan once shipped a cd on mon and it came onn wed. I also wanna add that one album that shipped over the weekend did it 'secretly'. Like, I got a confirmation on Tuesday that it shipped BUT when I tracked it, it said that the shipping process started on Saturday.
I just want this album! erryone is praising it to Heaburn.

[Benikari47]

Ya'll are lucky, i probably won't see mine until next month or something. I live on the other side of the planet lol, damn Denmark.

The only thing I don't understand about the "In Shipping Process" thing, is what does that mean exactly? It doesn't take all that long to wrap a couple items up, put em in a box and slap on a shipping label....
Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed. I had a tiny CDJ order shipped by Airmail the Thursday before last that isn't even here yet. Keeping my fingers crossed for Monday.

Oh and I even completely ignored and skipped by that post with images of the album itself. I want it to be a fresh surprise as much as possible when it arrives. Something real new and special for me to play with.

@BeniKari so do i. Canada's on the complete other side of earth from Japan. Did u choose SAL or something?

[Benikari47]

^Oh it is? I need to refresh my geography lol, no i choose Airmail as well

Haha it's no problem! I really wanted EMS too, but it's too expensive for me right now.
I don't really mind waiting anyways, i didn't buy it for the CD itself but for the Blu-Ray, so i can watch it on my new Playstation 3

I have a PS3 too. Awesome system. I also love using Netflix on it as well.
Oh, and I only paid 250¥ for my entire order thanks to a ton of points I had saved.

EDIT: I got the Aug issue of "steady"

[Not Fade Away]

*DEAD* THE QUEEN SLAYS AGAIN.

EDIT: POISON IS SO GOOD THAT I DIED, CAME BACK, AND DIED AGAIN. And then cried a little bit.

[Surreal17]

I think this is way better than Uncontrolled. I still haven't decided about my favourites but there are a few songs that caught my attention. 3 words for it: Cohensive, energetic and a lot of english.

[Not Fade Away]

^^OMFG WAYYYY better than Uncontrolled, and even better than Past << Future and Past << Future is EARGASM to me.


I love it so much. Supernatural Love is EVERYTHING.

Alright, I'm sorry, but every song on this album could be a single and not only that but if they were released as singles in the American market, the US wouldn't know what amazingness hit them.

Edit: I also love how Namie's manages to NAIL the world 'Stratosphere' which is a pretty hard word considering...you know....but 'heaven' hahaha. I will also say this:

Namie hits notes in this album I've never heard her hit before, so it makes me happy/proud.

[Gustavopc]

After hearing for the whole album twice, I can say it's way more amazing than I was expecting when it was announced, but just like I felt it would be when a couple of songs had already been revealed. It starts very strong with Alive, but gets a bit messy on those happy tracks - Rainbow is okay it reminds me of Mario Kart (?) so in some tortuos way I like it, but CYFTL and BBC... urgh - to then fly high with Hands On Me and the following tracks.

My favorite tracks are Alive, Poison, Supernatural Love and Stardust In My Eyes. Then the other songs are all awesome, except for those I mentioned above...

For sure it'll grow into one of my favorite albums from Namie, and easily one of the best 2013 albums Awesome job, Namie. Snatch those wigs!

[Benikari47]

Oh god, poor Alive.. did not deserve this mess of a video. Not that i'm surprised lol
