Forget whatever she is doing now, man.

If you got chics then you better put em up!

I literally wrote this every week on the blackboard in my Japanese class. My poor prof, he never had chics.
I don't even know if Namie is talking about "chicks" (women) in this case so I made up a new word.

Glad that I bought two copies at tsutaya shibuya on release day. I got two posters with my purchase, AND then two tickets to redeem two MORE posters from a special booth outside promoting the album.

Spoiler:

OMG THAT POSTER *___* I need that on my life!!! So sad I left day before release in the morning

STYLE, Queen of Hip-Pop, PLAY definitely is still her Top 3 best album she ever made. Even though i need another "Do Me More", but deal with it, she already drive away from those genre. Say hello to her English+EDM. (argh!)

[AyuHamasaki01]

STYLE is an amazing album. One of my favorite albums as well.

When did this new thread happen, I just didn't visit AHS ONCE yesterday, you guys are going like a storm has happened xD

I still didn't get to sit and review _genic but at least I got a few good listenings in my travel time.

How can she call the album _genic with implications to photogenic and not spam the booklet with photos, I don't get that woman :p

btw, is the album in metal cover or is it just a silver paper / carton / something ?

[Delicious n Bold]

^ it's like some silver paper thing. Not actual metal.

I've almost listened to the album 10 times so I'll have a good unclouded judgement ready soon.

[ahtka-chan]

Finally finished listening to the album! Well, for me:

The good: Golden Touch, It, Scream, Fly, B Who I Want To Be, Stranger, Every Woman

The bad: Photogenic, Space Invader, Time Has Come, Birthday, Anything

Don't know how I feel: Fac-shonista

Can you guys tell me the reason you like Space Invader and Photogenic? I think both songs are really bad and draggy but everyone seems to love them

I must be deaf, but in 2/3 of B Who I Want To Be I can't differentiate Namie's vocals from Miku's. And what's the problem about Every Woman? I think it's nice

Somebody said in the past thread that Anything would be a good way of closing the album instead of What I Did For Love. Considering WIDFL is a bonus track, technically it does end in Anything (unfortunately for me)

[thinkingoutloud89]

^Photogenic is pretty laid back, space invader is on the same level as every woman to me, bwyw2b is one of the bets songs for me and I think it is easy to differ the two, altough its more miku anyways

[Delicious n Bold]

Put my picture on the wall
Everyone knows I'm beautiful


Her best lyrics

[NintendoHTF1242]

I didn't really like PLAY even though HIDE & SEEK got me into Namie. There was something off about that album but I don't know what it was exactly. I could definitely go for another Do Me More or WHAT A FEELING. I love Namie and EDM but it wouldn't hurt going back to some older styles. Hell, TSUKI and BRIGHTER DAYS are proof home girl still got it.

Hot damn! I'll be singing the song like this from now on.
It's now perfection.

[AyuGAME]

I found it funny that Birthday is the track that the most successful digitally...which is the song that most of us don't care at all...

Photogenic second
Fashionista third and then Stranger
Golden touch down below...

Just Birthday made it into top 5...

It is the eyes opener fact that Japanese taste is very different than most of our taste...and they don't have any idea of bad English...

[S4MU3L]

I love Put em' up!!

Here, handy dandy color coded lyrics. This was actually pretty fun to do.

Green = Namie
Black = Miku
Orange = Both

Spoiler:

If you think I need you boy
You clearly made a big mistake
独りじゃいられないのはあなた
私だけのユリシスを求める

All my friends keep asking me, on the daily
All the boys in Tokyo Town, must be crazy
'Cause half thos guys are chasing me
I'm like maybe cos they couldn't give me that

I don't need, don't need anyone to be who I want to be, I'm the only one
理想を仮想で夢見るモードのTokyo Pygmalion

When you first saw me around
Dressin up and getting down
(Down in the club with all my friends laughing)
Fashion boys and millionaires
かわしたわ　みんな　コピーキャット

All my friends keep asking me, are you happy?
Happy as a girl can be, are you happy
I'm actually ecstatic, I'm so happy
自由さえまどえば

I don't need, don't need anyone to be who I want to be, I'm the only one
理想を仮想で夢見るモードのTokyo Pygmalion

I don't need, don't need anyone to do what I want to do, I'm the only one
Now I'm not saying I don't want what you're giving
But you couldn't give me that

I don't need, don't need anyone to do what I want to do
夢縛るなら街もあなたもバビロン

I don't need, don't need anyone to be who I want to be, I'm the only one
理想を仮想で夢見るモードのTokyo Pygmalion

It's not because I want you to hold my hand
And it's not because I need someone to understand
And it's definitely not cos
(I don't need, don't need anyone to do what I want to do, I'm the only one)
Now I'm not saying I don't want what your giving
(It's just that)
But you couldn't give me that

Try listening carefully to the song again while following with the lyrics. It should be easier when you're paying attention to differentiate between voices. I actually kinda had a hard time myself the first 2-3 times I heard the song.
