I'll find out when I get my copy

Does the booklet give credits for WMWM feat. VERBAL? I'm curious as to what the proper tag is.

To make things simple for myself and iTunes I just put "feat. ××" for songs that are primarily Namie's and "w/ ××" for songs that aren't. So, like, "make it happen feat. AFTERSCHOOL" because that song is hers and "BLACK DIAMOND w/ DOUBLE" because that one isn't.

I'm not too sure about that, when I looked at the booklet I didn't see any mention of it, but when I popped in my cd it was track 14, I just put it as feat Verbal since he even says in the song "Who else but the V-ER the BAL"

[tenshi no hane]

It's so nice to listen to the songs in HQ. They sound even better

Oh, I meant like if it was a remix and if it had a special title or something. I was updating the album description over at JPS and didn't know what to call it so I just put "(Remix)" at the end. :/

[AyuHamasaki01]

Could someone please upload the actual CD rip (320 kbps) here on AHS?

[Celaphorce]

^Oh well it's not really a remix same 'ol WMWM just with Verbal's verse in the beginning and Namie's first verse cut out.

[adantatu2]

yay!!! a real 320 rip !!
a really nice album

[NintendoHTF1242]

Umm I didn't really enjoy Checkmate! as much as I thought I would. AFTER PARTY is so annoying lol. ROCK U and BLACK DIAMOND are still great though. Out of the new tracks, I only liked #1 and that was only because the male vocalist has a sexy voice. make it happen, UNUSUAL, and Wonder Woman didn't really hit me (especially Wonder Woman...everyone was freaking out about this track, but it's really annoying and boring).

I think this release was a bit overhyped by fans lol. But I still enjoyed the album a bit. Just have to let it grow on me. And oh the track with Heartsdales was hot.

And tagging the regular tracks isn't that hard.

In the artist section, it should all be tagged 安室奈美恵. And then these are how the songs are tagged in the "song" section (going off of iTunes layout)

1.) Wonder Woman feat. AI & 土屋アンナ
2.) UNUSUAL feat. 山下智久
3.) make it happen feat. AFTERSCHOOL
4.) ROCK U feat. 安室奈美恵 / ravex
5.) Do What U Gotta Do feat. AI, 安室奈美恵 & Mummy-D / ZEEBRA
6.) Wet'N Wild feat. SUITE CHIC / Heartsdales
7.) Do or Die feat. 安室奈美恵 / JHETT
8.) FAKE feat. 安室奈美恵 / AI
9.) #1 feat. 川畑 要 (CHEMISTRY)
10.) BLACK OUT feat. Lil Wayne & Namie Amuro / VERBAL
11.) BLACK DIAMOND / DOUBLE & 安室奈美恵
12.) Luvotomy / m-flo ♥ 安室奈美恵
13.) AFTER PARTY feat. 安室奈美恵 / ZEEBRA

I don't know how to correctly tag the WANT ME, WANT ME remix though...Since it's a hidden track and all lol.

I understand wanting to tag all the songs as Namie, but that just doesn't make any sense, and it isn't what the site's tracklist is trying to say. It makes no sense to have a song with Namie as the artist then have it "feat." her.

In FAKE, for example, it lists it on the website as FAKE feat. 安室奈美恵 / AI. The part before the / is the title of the song itself, while what comes after it is the artist (which makes sense since it was AI's single). It shouldn't all just be put in the "song" field with Namie as the sole artist. The rest of the songs should be tagged the same way.

I agree with what you did on tracks 1-3 & 9 though. I know it officially should have the "feat." with Namie under "artist", but there are enough ****ed up tags on this album and I figure I'd do it that way since that's at least how "feat.s" on American albums always work.

Only stating the official way since you said it "should" be tagged the way you said

[koumori]

I tagged them all "Namie Amuro" I'm not really tagging-OCD, I only care that the album is with all the other Namie albums in my iTunes.

Btw, tagging isn't worth getting *****y about lol

[Picaflor 7/4]

This is how it looks on my computer.

1.) Wonder Woman
2.) UNUSUAL
3.) make it happen
4.) ROCK U
5.) Do What U Gotta Do
6.) Wet'N Wild
7.) Do or Die
8.) FAKE
9.) #1
10.) BLACK OUT
11.) BLACK DIAMOND
12.) Luvotomy
13.) AFTER PARTY
14.) WANT ME, WANT ME (feat. Verbal) (I only have the "feat verbal" in this song because I already have a "want me want me" on my computer)

When it comes to the artist, I do it in the information.
So track five's song title would be "Do What U Gotta Do", and under properties - details - album artist "安室奈美恵"
and then there's another entry field for song artist, and I would put AI/安室奈美恵/Mummy-D/ZEEBRA

or something like that. Because "Do What U Gotta Do" looks so much better on my ipod as a song title than "Do What U Gotta Do feat. AI, 安室奈美恵 & Mummy-D / ZEEBRA".

[ALPHY]

WANT ME, WANT ME feat. VERBAL (m-flo)

[Picaflor 7/4]

verbal definitely resung the lyrics. The cd version sounds different than the one we had from forever ago.

[Minttulatte]
