Amuro Namie - 60s 70s 80s [32nd Single]
Amuro Namie’s 32nd single, entitled 60s 70s 80s, was released on 03.12.08. After the great success of her last studio album, PLAY, Namie participated in the new project entitled Fashion X Music X Vidal Sassoon. On the single, Namie sampled parts of three songs all from different eras [60s, 70s, 80s]. As Namie’s first triple A-side, she certainly brought her best game.
New Look, the first song, is a creation that was inspired by the 60s. Sampling The Supremes’ hit single, Baby Love, New Look is a poppish song about fashion. The opening instrumentation booms amazingly into the chorus, which stands out the most from the song. Even from the chorus, the frequent use of English is displayed and despite some dated phrases “we so fly” and even some newer phrases “lol” and “omg,” there is a cuteness element that comes across perfectly. Throughout the verses, her voice consistently remains controlled in a lower register while her voice brings out more power on the chorus. The song ends with her strongest vocals yet as she sings “baby love” [an ode to the original song sampled]. Overall the song was the weakest on the single but is still very enjoyable and worth the listen.
The second track, Rock Steady, was influenced from the 70s. Sampling from Rock Steady by Aretha Franklin, Namie’s song has a rock flare alongside a pop sound. The opening instrumentation transitions perfectly into the first verse with strong vocals that compliment the beat perfectly. The chorus is easily the most addictive with strong vocals and even a small countdown reminiscent of FUNKY TOWN. The third verse has Namie singing in a lower register with a slight instrumentation change. The song ends with the chorus and then a closing line of “get steady.” The song is the second strongest on the single and definitely a Namie song to remember. The song could have been a little stronger if the arrangement had a little variety in it and seperate other parts of the song aside from the chorus.
The 80s era has produced What A Feeling, the strongest song on the single. Sampling What A Feeling by Irene Cara, Namie’s track features a techno sound that comes through very strongly. From the opening lines of the first verse “I love to dance yeah, everybody call me dancing queen,” the energy of the song is presented. The vocals are consistent as they remain in a lower range until they reach the hook. As Namie sings “ooh,” the vocals grow stronger and show their true power when the chorus comes. Although simplistic, it captures the energy and supports the atmosphere perfectly. The third verse gives the song in a slightly different feel as she sings “forth” repeatedly, sung in a lower key. The lines following are sung in the same lower register and blend perfectly into the small instrumental section. The song ends amazingly with pure instrumentation and finishes off the song with as much strength as it began with. Overall the track was the strongest on the single and it was smart to release this song as the final song of the campaign.
The cute atmosphere of the PV for New Look focuses on fashion. With clothes scenes and hair scenes and various colors splashed throughout the video, the director definitely brought the atmosphere of the song to a wonderful visual representation. Rock Steady’s PV features some great choreography and Namie with attitude [The opening car scene is a prime example of the cool demeanor Namie possesses]. The overall video definitely captures a music life with chart positions, live performances and even street dancing. The PV for What A Feeling is very original and primarily uses dark colors. The robots are a nice touch and contribute to the whole 80s atmosphere. Of course the strongest point of the PV is Namie’s dancing, which reflects the era’s style while bringing a modern flare to it.
Single Ranking: A
Although I was nervous about Namie’s 32nd single when the project was first announced, 60s 70s 80s really blew me away. While New Look is really cute and poppy, Rock Steady has an edgy element that stands out proudly and What A Feeling presents a hot techno sound to finish off the single with the best track. As Namie’s first triple A-side, she definitely brought strong material and it keeps me hopeful that her next single will continue the

BIOGRAPHY ** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Namie Amuro, born September 20, 1977, (real name Namie Maruyama, said to be one quarter Italian), was a huge sensation in the 90’s and has gone on to be one of the most successful Japanese pop artists of all time. While she is generally considered an idol, her staying power suggests that she is at least a special breed of idol. Her strong points are generally regarded as her tough-but-sexy attitude, her gutsy voice, her R&B dance moves and her trend-setting dress style. Her tinted hair, platform shoes with miniskirt, tweezed eyebrows, flower in hair, and to a lesser degree her barcode tattoo, have all been widely copied. Amuro’s legions of her fans have been dubbed “amura” (a mix of Amuro and admirer) by the media, and influence on fashion can be seen throughout the country. Focused on a pop career at an early age, Amuro was singing at local events her hometown of Naha, Okinawa at the age of 12. While meanwhile attending high school, she also became a graduate of the famed Okinawa Actor’s School, where she advanced her singing, dancing and acting skills. Amuro made her professional debut with four classmates as Super Monkeys, who were signed to Toshiba-EMI. The group gathered a sizeable following, but went through a shuffling of members and the revamped group was renamed Namie Amuro and the Supermonkeys. The group drew the interest of superstar producer Tetsuya Komuro, with the ultimate result being that Amuro went solo on the AVEX label. The members of Supermonke... Read More

The group gathered a sizeable following, but went through a shuffling of members and the revamped group was renamed Namie Amuro and the Supermonkeys. The group drew the interest of superstar producer Tetsuya Komuro, with the ultimate result being that Amuro went solo on the AVEX label. The members of Supermonkeys however achieved considerable success on their own as Max. Her debut solo album of 1996 Sweet 19 Blues (Avex), was an immediate smash, led by the single “Body Feels Exit”, and sold an astonishing four million copies. Her follow-up 1997 Concentration 20 was also a huge hit. Given Testuya Komuro’s role in the albums, some skeptics wondered out loud how much of her success was due to the famed producer. However, while the pair had huge success, and Komuro played a role in her moving away from Eurobeat to a more adventurous R&B sound, using other producers has not put too much of a dent in her popularity. This is not to say that her career hasn’t taken some bumps. In 1997 while just 20 it was announced that she was pregnant, and planning to marry the father Sam (born Masaharu Maruyama), a 35 year old dancer with the pop group TRF. In most cases marriage, and almost certainly childbirth, spells “end of career” to idols. However at the end of 1998 she made a dramatic comeback performing at the year end Kohaku Uta Gassen. Since then she has had a rocky relationship with Sam, and every twist and turn in her life has been examined and analyzed by the entertainment gossip press. In 1999 she sadly endured the tragedy of having her mother beat to death with a steel pipe on the streets of Okinawa by her husband’s brother, with the horrific murder being covered by the press in great detail. She however she has remained focused on her music and regained her position as a superstar despite the troubles and time away from the spotlight. She is a tireless worker, and has traveled to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea, helping make her one of the most popular Japanese artists in non-Japan Asia. Her dancing is generally much flashier and funkier than her rivals, and she always appears very well rehearsed. Today Namie Amuro remains a top star, and while perhaps she has been eclipsed at least temporarily by newer stars Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada, she has proven to be a charming, driven and durable entertainer[
