For those that don't know, Namie Amuro is a musical artist in Japan who, in my opinion, stands way above the other female J-Pop solo artists (though some would probably argue Ayumi Hamasaki is more popular). I was in Japan in the Summer of 2005 and it was the best experience of my life so far; Japan felt so much like 'home' to me.
Whilst I was there, and exploring Tokyo's Shibuya district, there was music being played into the streets and banners were promoting some artist (though of course I was too thick to realise the two were connected), and there was one song where wherever I went I'd immediately recognise it and by the time I'd figured out the artist and the songname I'd run out of money and couldn't get it!! Gutted.
Well a few weeks ago, for some random reason I suddenly remembered about THAT song with the cute video and the pink panther and all these other random elements and I had this urge to find out what it was (by now I'd forgotten the names of things) so after an immense investigation online I finally reminded myself and got the album on eBay for a bargain price! (Took long enough to come though). And guess what, I love it even more than ever! Comes with Pink Panther stickers - and a poster! Namie got the rights to use the Pink Panther as part of the album promotion, and had a female character made in her likeness - so cool!!! Mmm... and it SMELLS so GLOSSY! *solvent abuse*. My recommendation goes out to everyone, if you can find yourself a copy GET IT! My focus now is gettin' my hands on her latest album, 'Play'.So for everyone else to enjoy, here is THAT song, 'WoWa', courtesy of YouTube.
SUPER KAWAII!!! ^_^
Ok spazz is over, the next post will be less... like this!
