Stlll love Anna tho

ワンダー・ウーマン is the way it’s written out in katakana and phonetically it’s pronounced “wondaa uuman” so...she’s saying exactly what she’s supposed to be saying

[thinkingoutloud89]

^sounds strange tho - not as obvious in the song since that part of the lyrics is still in Romaji. Moreover they have the WO sound.
Uman is also different from Uhman to me.

I don't think the Namie thread is the best place to speak on someone's English pronunciation

But I enjoyed the cover! It's a song with so much attitude!

[thinkingoutloud89]

eah i like it, I just wish it would be more...flowing. It sounds like she is singing along to the actual song but we don't hear the music.

[chocopockymaster]

but not hearing the background music is the whole part of an acapella performance...????

[thinkingoutloud89]

^thats not what I meant

[chocopockymaster]

What did you mean?

[thinkingoutloud89]

That it doesn't sound like a natural flow but as if she is hearing the song and is singing along, which creates weird brakes and gaps 8that are usually filled with instrumentals or are the result of the mastering of the song) that don't sound natural you know.

So I came across this photo that I don't think I ever seen before, does anyone know where it's from? https://imgur.com/hZDgigi

[thinkingoutloud89]

^looks pretty recent to me, but I can't tell. maybe _genic era? The make-up looks like that

[chocopockymaster]

It looks like a color version of her hair and makeup styling from the FEEL cover shoot.

Looks like an alternate pic from Vogue Oct 2018

^Thanks! It does actually look like that especially from the last photo. Not sure how that facebook page got it, since the official one is deleted I think

[chocopockymaster]

I really like _genic because for me it has some "R&B meets Electronic" vibes that reminds me of past < FUTURE... even tho I dislike It and Scream, I really enjoy all the other tracks.

BTW, anyone has any 'news' on Namie herself?
