I can't believe I'm saying this lol, but swags been around a lot longer than Justin.

She's doing everything right this era. I'm loving it!

[pimenta]

tbh I'm a bit disappointed with the new arrangements for CAN YOU CELEBRATE?, and I find the background music too loud...

She should release an acapella version of CAN YOU CELEBRATE?, I would love it to death.

The pv is gorgeous though, I love it

[ayumisrael]

I love the new version so much!! The violins... it's so beautiful!!

I love both versions

[AyuHamasaki01]

The new PV for CAN YOU CELEBRATE? is flawless. She looks gorgeous, so beautiful!

I love Contrail Ballad version and the new vocals of SWEET 19 BLUES.

[ILoveGeniuses]

New versions of Contrail & S19B sound wonderful.

[brener]

Loved Contrail new ver.

[NintendoHTF1242]

The ballad version of Contrail slayed me I just I can't

[Loulines]

New PV for "Can You Celebrate" kinda dissapointed me :c Namie looks so beautiful but she looks like she's even bored with the PV... And though her 'engrish' and vocals are better, I still prefer first version..
But "Four Seasons" PV, God, my dreams came true ! (*o*)
I'll never understand why "Contrail" was in the pool and then got selected, but it's better it has real ballad version... Yet I don't like it, sorry, but nothing will top the original x)

[SKYia]

DOes anyone have the Contrail Ballad version for download? When I play it from soundcloud I get some unpleasant 'beeps' several times.

EDIT: Fount it on JPS

[orangeakira]

I'm so glad we finally have the ballad version of Contrail. It's so fucking beautiful, definitely in my top five favorite ballads from her even if it isn't an "original version". However, why isn't it the full song. It cuts out the first verse and chorus.

[chocopockymaster]

oh why hello Contrail Ballad ver., I foresee you shooting to the top of my Most Played playlist IMMEDIATELY.

I like the original version of Contrail MUCH MORE, but I do like this ballad version as well. Also, nice to see someone else who really loved the Four Seasons PV. It's very pretty and I feel out of all the new ones it actually goes somewhere the most compared to the others.

Contrail balla version is epic, the song is already epic per se, the ballad version is just yummy.
about can you celebrate. I hate the song in the original version, I hated it more with her current vocals and most of all I was fighting the urge to throw sum money at her because OMG THE LOW BUDGET. I mean, it's namie, come on avex. OPEN THE WALLET
I liked four seasons a lot tho!

[BlackSilence]

I love Contrail even more now and i already adore the song.

I can kinda enjoy CNA YOU CELEBRATE? the arrangement is gorgeous but it sounds way too ritch for her vocals. She ooks stunning, however something is missing in that PV. She always looks stunning tho.

i just lietrally burst out laughing xD

[terra]

Oh God Contrail Ballad version is just

Can You Sell A Plate OMG I can't stop laughing and I'm at work

[visionfactory]

AKB is just 1,4 million away from overselling Namie's record

[freedreamer]

Can someone upload the new version rips for download? ><

AKB is not a solo female artist == Namie's record for CYC applied for solo artist

Does Contrail Ballad version have new vocals? I think so but not sure.

I'm disappointed by the release. meh.

CAN YOU CELEBRATE (2014) > Annoying, distracting violin sounds like a cat in heat. New vocals lack emotion.

CAN YOU CELEBRATE video > Boring, lacks emotion and movement. Live performance is 500x better.

Contrail ballad > Boring. They should call it "Slow piano version with super loud vocals". Should've added violin, cello, backing vocals.

Four Seasons video > Yay, Namie standing in front of a green screen for 4 minutes.

Only good thing of this release is the retro vibe in Himawari and SWEET 19 BLUES (although gurl why you re-singing that song when you're not 19 anymore).
