Thanks for sharing

[Not Fade Away]

I've decided that the verses of Contrail really do sound dead, but the pre-chorus/chorus make up for it.

[CoriKaru]

I feel like the verses sound as they intended them to sound and I like them.

What ya'll are talking about is completely different.

[Not Fade Away]

^lol, just her voice mostly. I dunno, it sounds off. I still love the song/vocals - I think it's one of my new favorites of hers - but she definitely sounds like "I'm bored with these people," in the first verse at least.

[Delicious n Bold]

Sometimes I really think that she's gonna retire.
The whole Midas fiasco + rushing out a new album (even though uncontrolled is still selling) just adds up for me. Someone or something said that namie had a say in the cancelling. Don't know if true or not.
May be a coincidence though.

[~StarCatcher~]

Contrail is a nice song for summer days=)

Does anyone know if there is a pgysical/singke release together with Can You Feel Tis Love?

I mean there is not even a cover art yet.

[Celaphorce]

^I have a feeling we'll just be getting hit with the album Namie loves releasing albums in June so i don't see a single happening before the album

[CoriKaru]

Am I missing something?

We haven't heard "Can You Feel This Love" yet, right?

Less than half of the 7,000 tickets were sold.

In Japan, Amuro often performs to tens of thousands of fans at a concert.

Of the slow sales, Mr Hosking says: "We are not obligated to fill the building up, we can only sell as many tickets as she is popular for."

Does this imply she possibly cancelled due to half empty stadium? If this is even right.

I remember how afraid I was when I saw only about 200-300 (or maybe it was only 100?, can't really tell) people on Gackt's concert in Leipzig/Germany and how scared I was he'll feel offended and cancel the concert XD but he performed with 200% power and made us make up for the missing audience, it was even cooler than Ayu's full Saitama Arena Got so much respect for him after that <3

[Not Fade Away]

^omg, did Gackt really do that? That makes me love him even more lol.

I could see that happening though. I mean...I don't think an artist should do that, but I could see at least Namie's team making that call (not necessarily she, herself though).

Big Bang did something similar to Gackt when they performed in the states - well not nearly the same numbers but - in the fancams for their second NJ performance there was obviously like a whole section of empty seats but it didn't even seem to faze them.

I think Gackt has a lot more control and say than Namie does though. It was likely a management decision. For Gackt its not such a big deal because all he has to do is get himself and his band over there, but with Namie there would be a lot more things involved - all things that cost money.

Sweet cover of June issue.



Those shoes are so out of place here xD And as much as i like quite light eye make-up for namie standarts she doesn't really look like herself here *shrugs*

[Heavenly]

Namie.... WHY U NO AGE ?!?

Honestly, she looks like a little girl here

[Minttulatte]

Oh hell, it's the 90s Namie! 8DD Lovely cover indeed♥

[marty]

Ah, pretty Namie is pretty! <3

[ILoveGeniuses]

Agree with drdolce!! She looks rather 90's Namie. Like looking at something either retro or going back in time.... Not sure on full opinion, but I do like it more than the last magazine cover she was on.

[Delicious n Bold]

Finally, the hot dead look that puts *****es in place.

[AyuHamasaki01]

Really love the new cover!

[Beauty4123]

namie is very pretty on the Sweet cover!
