namie amuro LIVEGENIC 2015-2016

Namie Amuro makes it look so easy! Thank you to the CD-Japan staff, I got all my Japanese music collection from this site and I have never had an issue I like 3 years.

Since I received this in the mail 4 days ago I've already watched it 5 times, it's that good!! Namie delivers with a great assortment of things to keep you glued to your seat. Her costumes are all very flashy and amazing that even the lights from the stage hitting them make them stand out all the more. Plus, her vocals are fantastic and she just never stops showcasing so much energy and sweetness. However, I must bring to light the fact that she needs to work on her pronunciation of the English language a little bit more. Her and her dancers keep the show pumping with so much fun from start to finish. They've got some wonderful choreographed dance routines for almost every song. Then some of the stage props, such as a Crescent moon with a diamond insert in the middle of it while performing "TSUKI" is gorgeous to say the least. The performance while rather simplistic of "ANYTHING" has brought up a few tears every time I've watched it. Plus to add, she ACTUALLY changes on stage during the performance of "Birthday"!! This was just too cool!! OK, you don't get to see any skin, but still I totally loved the idea. Then there's songs like Grotesque, REVOLUTION & BLACK DIAMOND which were originally collaboration songs she did with other artists (Ken Hirai, Crystal Kay & DOUBLE), but Namie handles these just perfectly on her own. My only real beef with the concert is a very small one. Her female dancers are introduced during "SWEET KISSES". However, she decides to do the introduction for the male ones during "Every Woman". Being a female empowerment song, I felt that it simply felt out of place to choose this point in the show for that. Finally is the packaging. I got first press. The slip cover is very shiny and lovely, but the case under it is the same design, just not shiny. Inside is the disk and a pull out slip which on one side is the credits and the other just has GENIC in lights with her and her dancers standing in front posed in shadow. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
