[Namie Amuro] ♛ the 85th thead ♛

[stickyrice]

She's just killing it (or I'm just falling for the hype). Stranger sounds HOT. Every other jpop singer should just call it a day and try again next year.

YAAAAAAAS SLEIGH LEGEND N

MY BODY Wasn'T READY

[Zahara]

^ once again, the sushi comment was a joke. I'm guessing you didn't read my further comment.

Relax a bit, boo. Everybody knows Namie=Flawless Forehead and will deliver.

[terra]

OMG OMG I squeal at the office and everyone's looking at me with weird look LMAO
I'm gonna buy this and Aicchin's (after years of CD buying hiatus)

[Zahara]

All of my faves are dropping music this year, and my pay check remains the same

[orangeakira]

I CAN'T HANDLE LIFE RIGHT NOW! Ayu gave us an album, Koda Kumi gave us an album, Namie is now dropping an album, and supposedly this is the year Utada comes off hiatus and gives us an album by Christmas. This year is too much. I'm dead. This is perfect.

Totally this. If this is any indication of what the album is going to sound like, I'm loving it. It's very Darling/Girl Talk/Handle Me
If that video in the teaser is what the music video is supposed to look like, it's giving me strong "Vidal Sassoon Styling Series Do Me More Commercial" Vibes. It's going to be epic.

Freaky photogenic"

Gurllll we know!!!

So that's what the album title means. "photogenic" Not what we originally thought with the science/chemistry/DNA stuff.

Everything looks and sounds flawless. Namie and her team are really good at creating a hype.

[Ayu_desu]

I totally love her make-up! Everything about this release so far is looking amazing!

[CoriKaru]

^ Her nose looks like Tome Cruise.

And Wow. That teaser. I can't remember seeing Namie ever look like that live. Her face looks different, the shape, everything. Perhaps it's the illusion created by only being able to see one half of it. Or the fact that she's been on this SMILING Gimmick Kick for so long, it's jaunting to see her back on her Grim Reaper game. Looks good.

I like the Regular Cover the best, but I would prefer not to have just slits of her on the cover. I don't like that concept. But this does remind me of her PAST<FUTURE Covers.

Oh my god

This release looks beautiful, and I actually really love the preview.

[AyuGAME]

I wish that Ayu working with Namie composer and arranger but still make Ayu influence on it.

Spoiler:

Avex budget are going to her and E-Girls (and subteam) and Exile, no wonder they always get a really high quality stuff

[thinkingoutloud89]

well, the more money you bring home the more money you have to spent. Just sayin'.

[ayu_ready?]

omg omg so awesome, I'm dying

pretty much.

Namie has been having flawless stuff. Not exactly anything groundbreaking when it comes to music but the marketing and everything else has been top notch! And her covers and packaging for these couple of albums remind me a lot of what k-pop does.

Now they're allowing airmail again , mustve been a mistake or something.

Here's a version of the teaser without the narrator's voice:

[280301]

Wait, _genic? Shouldn't it be _generic? considering this is Namie?
Anyway, I'm hoping that this album topples her last two. I've always liked her, but I agree with those who have commented upon the swift aging of her music.
