Wasn't it on Love Story / SSWD?

[mi|kshake]

It was a free download from her Facebook.

[ayumisrael]

It's also on Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!/Love Story single.
She also sang it on Live Style 2011 iirc.

Didn't she start doing it with FEEL? The hidden video was accessed by clicking on her eye

[Celaphorce]

^there was a bonus video in best fiction tour too I think you click on the cookies lol the irony, but it was like her own cam filming and whatnot. And I think there is one on uncontrolled as well but don't quote me on that cause its been a while since I've used that DVD.

CDJapan is having a 15% off Namie! sale to celebrate BALLADA's release. The sale goes until June 17th and includes her tour DVD/blurays and her studio albums!

[November4]

Namie is literally stunningly beautiful! http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ih-zpL1hFww/

After listening to them however i only really liked the new version of Can You Celebrate and the MV for SWEET 19 BLUES & HimAWArI. So i'm not sure if i'm so happy with the purchase after all, so i totally get where you're coming from.

I can't wait for a new studio album from her, i highly doubt it's going to be as great as FEEL but one can always hope Sweet Kisses and Still Lovin' You are definitely a good sign for things to come.

For me I don't think she'll ever release an album as good as FEEL. That album is just perfection, it's so beautiful and fun and uplifting and cool. ^^

[Delicious n Bold]

Instead of buying Namie's old CDs on cdjapan, I think I'll just wait to buy them used.
Really want to get past future, play, and sweet 19 blues.

[visionfactory]

wow, is BALLADA pushing GROTESQUE sales?

This week: 988
Total: 49,610

Almost 50k !

@November4 & Benikari Honestly, I FEEL but it's not my favorite album of hers. TBH, my favorite albums are break the rules, Queen of Hip-Pop & Uncontrolled.

@chocopockymaster Too bad I already have all her albums and concerts.

@visionfactory I'm not surprised Ballada is coming up this much in sales. Japan LOVES ballads and the album's full of it with all new recordings on some tracks and plenty of those simple lovely outfit ballad PVs they adore.

But the sales that visionfactory quoted are GROTESQUE's sales...not BALLADA's. BALLADA doesn't even officially come out until tomorrow. So yeah, it's kind of interesting that a ballad best-of would be propelling along the sales for her collab single that's a completely different genre.

Ah ok. Misread that. My mistake.

I'm so happy about the hidden video! I didn't watch it yet, so I don't know if it's any good, but I love this kind of surprises!
I wish singers would do this more often.

[ILoveGeniuses]

What is the hidden video? A making-of sorta thing like on FEEL?

[SKYia]

This is awesome!



Why only Namie's team knows how to make teasers?

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Neat but it just drags on too much for my taste....
