Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
December 21st marked the day that Amuro Namie wrapped up her five-dome tour in Japan. A string of wearing the same tired-ass over-the-knee boots, ruffled skirts she’s worn to death over the past decade, and hitting flat notes to “Body Feels Exit“.
To mark the occasion, and get a little bit festive on some bitches, Namie’s official website was updated with a new promotional photo. Speculation began to run rife as to what exactly this image was used for: if it meant something new was on the horizon or if it was even an old outtake from one of her shoots for Esprique. Well, we can file this under MYSTERY SOLVED, as this image was used in the introductory video for Namie’s tour, but it has only been released in hi-res for fans to ogle at on the website now as a result of the tour wrapping up in Japan.
Other J-artists post Twitpics and Instagrams of themselves looking festive, or upload obscure pictures of themselves at the Tokyo Tower. Namie has her public relations monkey upload a glossy professional photo of her looking fed-up, lifeless, and amazing on her official website.
Dis photo = Better than the ‘Uncontrolled‘ album cover
A Christmas-music box-version of Namie’s single “Love Story” is currently doing the rounds online, but fuck that shit, let’s throw it back to 2005 with Namie’s Christmas single, “White Light“. Only Namie would shoot a music video for a Christmas song looking fed up and as though she’s fresh out of fucks to give anybody, even a child who wholeheartedly believes in Santa and flying Snowmen.
It’s why I love this woman.
♪ Joy to the word. Poo on da floors. If snore fall, will Santa Claus? ♪
That’s not bad Engrish – that’s actually how they celebrate Christmas in Japan. They eat some KFC and a 7-Eleven Christmas cake and then take a festive dump on the floor.
Fucking lol.
I love Namie but *everything* is better than that album cover. You can tell no one gave any fucks whatsoever. But I still bought it. Sorta had an obligation to.
She looks good in this photo, though. And yaaay White Light. One of the only two Christmas songs I give a shit about.
Poo on da froors lmfao I see the promotional activity meme has made a return.
The best meme.
Promotional Activity: Shitting on Ayu’s doorstep.
I’m not complaining about the kpop articles at all, but I think it’s so nice to have so many jpop articles popping up :) Thanks RandomJ! (I would put the shortcut for the ‘thumbs up’ or ‘like’, but it looks like boobs..)
Yeah me too. It makes it feel more “Asian Junkie” than just…… Kpop articles with a little bit of Jpop on the side >__> (Still love yoooou IATFB Oppa Daddy! Don’t backhand me for getting outta place!)
I would write more about J-pop if J-entertainment news didn’t suck.
There was a handle of stuff the past year… Anna Tsuchiya’s husband getting into a fight… this dude double-timing Ai Ta…something something (the model) and this chef person, I think some other knocked up/relationship marriage stuff but… some of those are people many wouldn’t know/care about ;_;…. There was other stuff just my mind’s not working well this early. I’m sorry An Oppa Named IATFB Daddy!
Recommend me sources where news like this was published.
I’m ALWAYS up for covering scandals.
Same here. Random J is one of my favourite writer on teh internets.
Aw… I kinda liked her Uncontrolled photo ;__;
She gotta work them boots and short skirts… THEY MADE HER!!!!!!! She Queen of the Amuras!
But this promo photo isn’t as lazy as Mika’s “Star” cover album (it was just an extra leftover shot from “Ichiban Kirei na Watashi o”)
But one day, my little Super Monkey will smile brightly as she did in 1992… one day!
