She Makes You Believe In A Ballerina In Namie's 80th Thread





Spoiler:
Amuro Namie (安室奈美恵) is a Japanese "Hip-Pop" (Hip-Hop / Pop) artist from Okinawa. She debuted in a eurobeat group called the SUPER MONKEYS comprised of her and her classmates from the Okinawa Actors' School in 1992 with the single Koi no Cute Beat / Mister U.S.A.. Amuro became the leader of the group, and found success after their cover of TRY ME ~Watashi wo Shinjite~, which peaked at #8. In 1996, Amuro switched to avex trax and debuted with the single Body Feels EXIT, with her first avex album selling over 3.3 million copies. Her biggest single, the ballad CAN YOU CELEBRATE?, was the top single of 1997. After marriage and personal tragedy, Amuro continued to adopt a more R&B/hip-hop based style of music. She has sold over 30,000,000 copies in Japan alone.

I don't really like Neonlight Lipstick and I don't know why. Still twerking to Ballerina though.

Does anyone have a HQ pic/scan of the ORIGINAL TRACKS VOL. 1 cover (at least 600px)? I recently ripped it into my computer and I can't seem to find a decent quality one on Google

Ok, I'll never understand why she didn't make space for Ballerina and Neonlight Lipstick in FEEL. It could have been one hell of an album with these two. Such a particular and strong vibe! And they have all the uniqueness, the "Namie factor" FEEL was kind of lacking in my opinion, especially Ballerina, so hypnotic.
Amazing tracks! <3

I was wondering if anyone knew where one could get Feel ringtones. The whole album is amazing!

I really like both the new songs, I could see this as a really awesome double A-side single

I agree with what people are saying, the new music seems darker than FEEL. I like that she doesn't stand still with her music haha

I completely agree !~ I would love more rock. I really loved Damage. I'd love more songs like that

But in the meantime.. to tide me over, I ripped both Ballerina and Neonlight Lipstick off of the site... Hopefully that's alright ( Unsure, if it's not ? Someone let me know if it isn't and I'll remove the links haha )

Ballerina

Neonlight Lipstick
Thanks a lot BluishDays

Neonlight Lipstick is good, but Ballerina is better. I love the sound of the new songs though!

Hopefully the songs will grow on me, because I think they're just OK now.

After a couple of listens neonlight lipstick could have definitely gone on feel but maybe instead of cyftl but honestly the album was fine without it..ballerina is in a whole different category.

I'm glad she didn't include them on FEEL, the album is already amazing and i prefer that she stays consistent and continue to release material of the same caliber. I don't really think it would fit the album anyway, FEEL still had a pop edge where NL & Ballerina are a little more avantgarde imo.

I like both of the songs, but I feel both of them are a little unpolished, and I'm pretty happy they aren't on the album.

I dunno I feel like Neonlight Lipstick could have been on FEEL. It sounds like Supernatural Energy Part 2.

I agree

On the other hand, I'm happy Ballerina wasn't released in FEEL...
