Wow. We're here. The end. This year went by so fast. This time last year I spent all day watching her videos after reading her announcement. I was crying buckets. It's a bit funny, now, because even though it's officially over, I'm not crying. (At least not yet) Maybe I've moved on to acceptance
Ah, Namie. You're an inspiration and a legend. I'm so very happy that you're doing what you feel you need to do and I thank you for being such a big part of my life. You were my childhood. And you helped me through the Godawful teenage angsty years. My only regret of being your fan is that I never got to see you live. But that's okay. I own all your blu-rays. I can go back in time whenever I want to that way. Thank you, Namie! We love you! And we'll miss you!!!

I am her fan since 2004 ... 14 looooong years! ... these are sad times ...
but i think we will have a comeback ... in 5 or maybe 10 years ... She is a true performer ... I do not think she will leave the stage forever ...

If anyone was curious about those weekly Saturday Final Space segments her facebook always mentions, I have them all uploaded! They're mostly just 2 minute montages of stuff we've already seen through this past year, nothing really new... although there is one longer episode that goes through the entire Final Space museum exhibit. You should watch that one if you weren't able to go! It also features the special Dr. animation that was found in the Tokyo Exhibit.
Spoiler:
And here's the scans from with magazine for anyone who hasn't seen it yet! https://www.weibo.com/1655852940/Gx475dRxS Quote:
In her final interview that was aired earlier this week, she was asked about the possibility of returning in the future and she stated "I will never be returning to the stage because my life as 'Namie Amuro, the singer' has been completed with my 25th anniversary". https://mdpr.jp/news/detail/1792074

btw, I discovered Namie back in 2009 with CAN YOU CELEBRATE? and I hated it.. but then I heard her new single WILD and I fell in love. She was the last one of the 4 Jpop queens I discovered, but the love was so big after the release of past<FUTURE that I couldn't help. Namie and Jolin along with Christina Aguilera are my greatest divas ever. I will always listen to her, watch some of her videos (I have all her shows and videos and I will not delete them.. never )... I love dancing and "performing" on my own and she is a huge inspiration. Even tho I'm a boy, I love wearing boots because of her haha She will be missed and never forgotten. Much love to Amuro Namie-sama Last edited by roddypii; 16th September 2018 at 01:19 AM. |

Wow... the end came so fast. I've been a fan since 2007/2008...at least she got a nice send off. It's better to go out with a bang than quietly fade out totally forgotten I guess. She definitely deserves time to relax and be with her family, she worked very hard the last year.
Pretty cool she got to do the live collabs and that each featured artist did a cover. I would've loved to see genkai lovers with Show-Ya and Ups and Downs with Nao'Ymt though. I really hope we get to see it! Last edited by AJFmzk; 16th September 2018 at 02:06 AM. |

I have been a fan since 2003, I still haven't really accepted that it's all over lol.
Like others said, this year has gone by in a flash. She will always be my number one and always be my favorite. I am starting to listen to her music again, it sounds silly but once she announced her retirement, it was hard for me to listen to her music. Made me so sad lol. Namie was the one I listened to through all my rough times in life, through all my downfalls of health and life. I genuinely looked up to her and loved her cool and independent persona. It was inspiring for me, when I am quite the opposite in real life lol Even though this is the end for her as a singer, I hope we will continue to hear her presence from behind the scenes of future artists. I wish I could say my feelings better, but it's very hard for me to write what the past 15 years have meant for me. I just want to say, I am proud of her and all of her accomplishments. I hope that she finds peace and happiness in the next stage of her life. |

I've been a Namie fan for almost 14 years . I remembered being so and was still blown away by Hide & Seek PV
When I 1st started listening to Japanese music , I only assumed videos were made for singles , took me a while to realise videos are also made for album tracks too x) Namie definitely will be missed by so many , it's evident how much Japan has gone all out for her in putting up so many numerous signs , billboards all over the country showing their appreciation to her That doesn't need to be done but yet fans did that wholeheartedly as their support for Namie is genuine === This's interesting , ex SMAP member Kusanagi Tsuyoshi will be hosting a WE ♥ NAMIE FINAL Encore LIVE programme that Abema TV will stream tonight 9pm - midnight https://natalie.mu/music/news/299928 https://twitter.com/AbemaTV/status/1041129818182434816 Kusangai's favourite Namie song is Baby Don't Cry and he wrote on his Twitter he wants to rewatch Namie's performance of it during WE ♥ NAMIE FINAL Encore LIVE programme , heh https://twitter.com/ksngtysofficial/...46869383016450

Kyodo News wrote on yesterday's show:
https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2...-hometown.html Her wikipedia article already says "Namie Amuro is a retired Japanese self-producing recording artist" and ouch that stings |

I became a fan around 2009 after seeing the Do Me More PV. I was just thinking yesterday that if it hadn't been for that song/PV, I might have never discovered Ayu and then Kuu, or a lot of the other J-Pop (and Mandarin-Pop) artists I love. Before that I was listening to a few anime songs or K-pop, so if it hadn't been for Namie, who knows if/when those paths would have intersected.

I don't think so. She did a very Japanese thing. Hu,ble and proud at the same moment but she left for good. She did not go on a hiatus and I don't think people would welcome her back.

Anyway, I first heard Namie in 1994/1995 because I was living overseas on one of the military bases there. But I was a child and didn't speak much Japanese so I didn't actually become a fan until the 2000s. It's been over 14 years since then and I have seen her live many times. Even though she is retiring, it still hasn't quite hit me yet. Although, I agree with the decision; she hasn't seemed to enjoy herself on stage in several years now.

I have the feeling that she wanted to retire after her 20th Anniversary but then the typhoon came and she added another 5 years because she wanted to retire that way (anniversary concert in her home and then a year full of things)

i wish she could keep her update via social media after 916, instead of going into a cave for retirement.
