[Namie Amuro] ♛ the 85th thead ♛

[Eewyi]

Oh god this is like the blessed year of good music. All my beloved queens have released or are releasing a new album THIS FRIGGIN' 15 SECS OF NOTHING SOLD ME ALREADY and many other smaller-scale artists I love are also putting new things out.

Damn this is great.

I wonder if Stranger is the Zedd song?

It very well could be, sounds generic enough . I don't mind a good EDM song but as long as they all aren't (which they aren't suppised to be).

Don't mean to be a pain, but what kind of things do I need to be able to buy tickets from outside of Japan? Not gonna be there until September.

Not sure if you need to be a member before the 11th April but the application for the fan space tickets ends on the 11th May. Maybe after that the general tickets go on sale.

Namie is using e-tickets now I think.
To buy tickets you need to go on this site: http://portal.tickebo.jp/pc/index.html
It is also available in english. You can make an account (and read the rules). You can buy the tickets with a credit card and they will send you the e-tickets to your phone. Fan space tickets are all lottery tickets so it is not sure you will get them. I think it is the same with the general tickets. On the date of the concert you need your phone so you can scan your e-ticket at the entrance.

I just can't at Namie slaying everyone in the game so effortlesly. The way she has changed her style and keeps doing it just amazes me. The thing I like about Namie is that, unlike with Ayu, with her I never know if her next album is gonna be her best one. I know that no matter how good her next album is, it will never top Duty or (miss) understood. I must also add that this is partly because most of Ayu's first albums are infinitely superior to Namie's albums. But I would like Ayu to experiment a little bit too. I love Last minute for example, but in reality its Memorial Adress's uglier sister. She still has the ability to pull touching ballads or rock songs, but she always follows the same pattern she created years ago. Namie, on the other hand, keeps changing and evolving. NO FUTURE is a song that 1998 Ayu could have released, but 1990s Namie woud have NEVER released songs like Ballerina. Sorry for the essay haha, I was just thinking about it while I saw the news.

I want this album, preferably yesterday.
Dat wallpaper is beautiful.

I'm excited for this, but not to the degree that everyone else in here is! Someone help me!!! I LIKE TO BE EXCITED TOO! lol. It just feels like Namie's voice is so emotionless in every song and it gives them a dead feeling! She basically blends in with the machinery of the tracks to me. I need to learn to get passed this or hear someone else's explanation of why I should not feel this way because dang it I want to feel pumped about his too

^ You either get used to it or not :p

that second teaser sounds like a total mess lol i like the Photogenic one much better,

[ayumisrael]

It's funny if Namie goes to ayu's tours/countdown lives to get inspirations for stuff she does herself though, she has been spotted in every CDL of ayu since... 2010 was it?
Don't know if namie likes kuu though or not.

I'm pretty excited + I'm getting the CD+blu-ray. And I'm also glad my 3 queens releases an album this year, and unlike others, I enjoy them all (will probably enjoy namie's too unless she goes AKB48 with the rest of the tracks).
I love Stranger's preview.

Well according to attendants there is a date where they post that they spotted her. 2 years ago she was spotted and had to leave in the middle, but last year she was spotted again (with nothing special to add). It's like this for several years, there was also a tour but I can't recall which year it was.
There was also a CDL when kuu and misono were spotted together.

well, I was never surprised.

[chocopockymaster]

Ayu goes to Namie's tours too tho, lol. And Gackt's been spotted at Ayu's concerts. It seems like one big circle jerk
