[Namie Amuro] The 98th Thread ♛ Final Album, Tour & Retirement ♛

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I never realized only one of her albums prior to this had reached 2 mil. I would've thought she had more given her huge popularity and the decade. But I guess the sales boom was late 90s to early 2000s which is when she had started to sort of change her style and had her small hiatus.

Anyway, I'm so happy for her and really the music industry in general lol. It's crazy to think that selling a million copies or at least very close to it was normal for popular artists.

So prettttty!!!

[kotora]

I am not sure about the dress.

But it is a good promo pic.

[freedreamer]

the dress is so unflattering...Look at that Namie on the left? wtf

[CeReSu]

Love the concept!!

[Gustavopc]

I don't really like the outfit also, but I like the idea. One Namie for each dome or one for each million-selling album?

[jiarongisme]

Yeah... Not a fan of the wardrobe.

[KarenPang]

I think Namie's outfit is ok , I'm not a fan of the way she pose and also the furry boots which gave me GIRL NEXT DOOR nightmares

On a side note , Finally is certified Million for shipment of 1 million copies

I think RIAJ will update Finally certification to 2 million next month

Interestingly , 7 releases that were released last year were given Million certifications & out of them , Finally is the only release that's an album

[pedronekoi]

I LOVE the whole concept and outfit! I think the "unflattering" is part of the concept. I love it! Her creative team is always on point.

By the way, the boots are from Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2018 Ready-to-Wear collection.

love the new look and promo pic. her marketing team is always on point!

[tomiko8]

She looks like a puff.....

This is... terrible. And it's very rare for me to say that, most of the time I like how she dresses. But this wardrobe for the last tour?

[Xianghua]

The dress isn't that bad aside from the "poof" of the skirt. Maybe if it was shaped different because she looks like her stomach is gone and her body is just her chest connected to her waist, lol. Not a fan of those boots But I like the composition and color theme as I was not expecting pink.

The table setting makes me think so much of LIVE STYLE 16-17

[mi|kshake]

Namie always has amazing tour promo pics!

[chocopockymaster]

She looks like a walking loofah lol

Maybe not quite to the level of that pink dress Rihanna wore that one time but this is...not a good look

I love the whole aesthetic and colors. The dress would be beautiful if it had a normal waist line. Not furry boots would be better to.
But I don't hate the photo. It's okay.

I'm not a fan of it. I think it would have been a better concept for her to have all the different poses be looks from various eras of her career. Like, on the chair at the far right, she could have been wearing the outfit from SWEET 19 BLUES, in the back where she has her hand on her hip she could have been wearing the Checkmate! outfit. In the back on the left side could have been her PLAY outfit. And then on the far left, she could have been wearing the dress from ONLY U. And then in the middle she could wear this outfit.

Just missed the mark for creativity here. And it only took me two seconds to come up with this concept.

Well I do prefer your concept. It is a bit of a missed opportunity to utilize all the great looks from the past to celebrate the anniversary/retirement tour. They should take a hint from the success of the docomo commercial. I still watch that I enjoy it so much.
