Her english is really day and night. Even though it might sound good in one song doesn't mean it's gotten better. Let's not forget Beautiful only came out a year and a half ago.

No supplies
Feeling light 'lo feeling long
browing in the wind
aging out of time

Amen. She can't say heaven in "Heaven" but she has no trouble saying stratosphere in "Stardust In My Eyes"???

I've also noticed she'll say the same word in two different songs and yet in one she'll pronounce it properly and be completely off in the other one.

@Delicious_N_Bold I honestly have never heard a difference in all the dialects across different areas of Japan. It just all sounds Japanese to me. LOL

As for the new song, now that all the hype has worn off, the song is honestly just average with me. TSUKI felt much better to me. However, I'm honestly glad she's not trying to sing more and more songs in FULL Engrish.

Well, the "v" sound doesn't exist in Japanese and neither does the second vowel sound in that word, so she should get a free pass there

[Delicious n Bold]

I'll just say that half the time I never understand Namie when she sings.
She may as well sing in Okinawan.

[Surreal17]

I currently don't care about the new song. Waiting for SWEET KISSES.

[AyuWorld]

soo excited when I saw this yesterday! Namie did a good job with Tsuki last time with Dakishimetai!

from the preview I really like Brighter day and the concept for the cover.

for the drama its Erika's come back drama and I really like and enjoyed First Class 1! cant wait to know whats her next move in this second season,shes surrounding with the evil fashion designers!

its been a while since Im addicted to a new song preview so here I uploaded the preview on YT ^^ cant wait for this full song!

[thinkingoutloud89]

I just want SWEET KISSES on this...the rest are sweet bonuses

[SKYia]

Brighter Day need Contrail-ish PV, it feels so summer-ish though...

what's the release date again?

[R_Hikki]

Feels like I've waited a lifetime for "Still Lovin' You" to come out. The preview got me more excited than anything from her last few singles.

[PURIN]

me too!!! i can't wait for I'm still lovin u, heard the live audio rip from live style but its all muffled up :/

From her official fb

Spoiler:

I was searching online for her tattoos and I was reading that she got
rid of her mom's memorial and her son's name tattoos, is this true or
am I just out of the loop?

[pimenta]

I like the covers

it's true, she has been removing those for years. You can see her tattoos more and more faded on her past two tours and FEEL's album covers and MVs. Now they're gone completely.

why did she decide to remove her tattoos?

Reseller? 7-Eleven? I don't have any trusted person in Japan that could buy me the tickets, I don't suppose I can buy them while I'm in Europe or when I arrive at Osaka on the 20th or in Kyoto. Any experience on your part?

I would LOVE to find out where to get Namie's tickets for resale as well, because I lost the sales period. The problem is: Namie's tour uses that absolutely terrible Ticket Board system. It's by no means as easy as Ayu's concert. Just to give you an idea, today I went to SMTOWN concert and it was the same ticket system as Namie's concert is, and it's an QR code eletronic ticket that was only sent YESTERDAY to the people attending the concert. Seriously, the concert was today, the ticket was sent yesterday, so you can imagine it pretty much messes up the possibility of resale, specially because it's a electronic ticket through the mobile phone.

no idea. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall she ever commented about it...

This doesn't sound good I was so mad when I found out the tour ends two days before my trip to Japan, now that she added those dates and I can go it would be even more heartbraking if I can't get the ticket. If anyone of you guys knows more about it I'd love to know. Namie's site says the tickets will be on sale on Novemvber 15th.

Could you send me a location for this shop? Google maps location for example would be amazing, I have three adressess but I'm pretty much scared I won't be able to find them by myself knowing how any shops in Japan are often hidden in alleys or on some upper stores. I will be hunting for Ayu's CDL tickets as well.

such a beautiful picture!
