[Namie Amuro] Namie Wants to Make You「FEEL」Alive in her 78th Thread

[Minttulatte]

FEEL is good as hell. It's absolutely flawless and made me remember why this girl snatched my #2 fav J-Pop singer position from Ayu in 2008. XD

Hey the Namie Facebook Store is back open and listing the new FEEL Tour Goods!!! I just ordered the stuff I want.

I guess I'm in the minority. I didn't get the sense that Nao'ymt's songs were getting stale personally.

I hope Namie hires new producers that can give her that "unique edge" again. But for now it seems she's just blending in with the rest of the crowd. This is a normal process an artist goes through and I'm sure her next album will be less mainstream.

I just hope we hear "Neonlight Lipstick" in full before the end of the year. The fact that her team released a snippet of it so darn soon could mean it might be a digital release or single later on in the year. Let's hope.

Hey does anyone have this in a bigger size?

me neither

[ILoveGeniuses]

^same.

EDIT: Btw, curious, but am I the only one who thinks the BEST pictures of Namie are her casual ones? She's such a little sweetheart seeing her as her normal plain self.

Here too.
I liked FEEL just fine, it's just that I'm used to perfection with Namie, and FEEL is just far from it. There's no comparison with everything else she did before, minus Uncontrolled.
But I surely appreciated the evolution, and the fact that this time, on the contrary of Uncontrolled, they actually tried the best they could deliver with the new style. Sure, she still hasn't mastered it yet, but it was a nice attempt, and I'm sure she can make this style her own if she does her best.
Frankly, since I've seen the hard work, I'm satisfied for now, and I'm sure there's plenty of room for improvement. I'm waiting for the next release to say if she needs to drop this style imo or not.

Finally got my copy of FEEL the other day and what I was most excited about was finally getting to see the lyrics for myself. I was so wrong about so many things...

Also noticed that they use "colour" in Alive and "colors" in Stardust.

So you still cant buy the album in Canada and the US.

What? Seriously? U mean iTunes, right?

[R_Hikki]

^ Correct o_o

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Then its not really a proper international release of the album!! O_O

[Delicious n Bold]

It's so funny that it's not available in one of the biggest markets. That's backwards.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^And does she think she doesnt have any fans over here or something....?

[Delicious n Bold]

It could be some sort of licensing problem too.

They should at very least post that when they said it got an International Release on FB if that's the issue.

I don't think so... if Korean and Japanese artists (barring most of Avex) have their stuff up on iTunes then I don't see why Namie can't have FEEL up even after her team posted on Facebook about it being available... maybe they're going through some steps with Apple in order to put it up. We'll see

[kumis]

Wait.. I just remembered. New albums only show up on iTunes in Canada & the US every Tuesday(?) The same thing happened with Perfume so maybe we just have to wait. It's available in Europe though
