WANT ME, WANT MENEW!Amuro Namie

WANT ME, WANT ME - Live Remix - / (2022 Updated Version)
WANT ME, WANT MENEW!Amuro Namie

It’s characterized by intense dance and breakneck-speed lyrics.

It’s a track that puts the strong, stylishly sexy side of Namie Amuro front and center.

It’s a very popular, cool song among fans.

The chorus is memorable—even many who’ve only heard it in passing will recognize it—and if you can catch the rhythm, you can sing it, so it’s one I definitely want you to perform with a cool attitude.

The low range actually stands out more than you’d expect, so be careful not to sing from your throat.

I recommend singing with the feeling that all your sound—both low and high—resonates in the same place, as if you’re projecting your voice from your temples.

FighterNEW!Amuro Namie

An aggressive dance number released in 2016 as an insert song for the film “Death Note: Light up the NEW world” and the theme song for the Hulu drama.

It portrays a strong will to fight in order to protect a loved one, and its dark music video featuring the Shinigami Ryuk has also generated buzz.

The song’s overall vocal range is A3–D5; if you can deliver the first shout of the chorus firmly, you should have no problem with the rest.

I recommend singing with clear, confident articulation without fear.

ShowtimeNEW!Amuro Namie

This is a song written as the theme for the TBS Tuesday drama “Princess of the Prison,” which aired in the October 2017 cour.

It’s an up-tempo, glamorous pop song, featuring lyrics that liken the drama’s “revenge plan” to a showtime.

Although the track itself is short at around three minutes, it feels quite substantial.

It seems perfect to pick at karaoke when you want to get pumped up.

The overall vocal range is G#3–D5.

It’s basically in a range you can sing in chest voice, but there’s a part at the end of the chorus that should be sung lightly in what sounds like falsetto, so relaxation is essential.

Ride the rhythm and project your voice clearly.

HopeNEW!Amuro Namie

HopeNEW!Amuro Namie

A refreshing, up-tempo number born from the collaboration celebrating the 20th and 25th anniversaries of the anime One Piece.

With a sound overflowing with speed and lyrics that sing of a strong will to move forward, it’s been praised for overlapping with Luffy’s feelings for Sanji in the Whole Cake Island arc.

The overall vocal range is fairly wide, from G3 to E5, and the chorus sits in a notably high register.

Since the song begins with the chorus melody, the initial high note is crucial.

Imagine using the first syllable as a run-up and the second as a burst from the starting line—build momentum and project your voice firmly.

I HAVE NEVER SEENAmuro Namie

I HAVE NEVER SEEN -Live edit- / (2023 updated version)
I HAVE NEVER SEENAmuro Namie

Released in December 1998 as her first single after returning from maternity leave, the 12th single “I HAVE NEVER SEEN” served as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama Yonigeya Honpo.

It’s a mid-tempo number that blends poignancy with strength.

The lyrics, which resolve to move forward while carrying indelible memories and loneliness, paired with the rich, layered synth sound, leave a strong impression.

Though a celebrated comeback track that reached No.

1 on the Oricon chart, its melodic range isn’t overly wide, making it easier to sing with plenty of emotion.

However, be careful: if you don’t emphasize the build from the low tones in the first verse to the chorus, it can come across as flat.

It’s a touching ballad that you’ll want to listen to quietly on a still night.

FinallyAmuro Namie

This song was included as the title track of the best-of album “Finally,” released in November 2017 to mark the 25th anniversary of her debut.

Chosen as the theme for NTV’s “NEWS ZERO,” it’s memorable for its forward-looking lyrics aimed at the future and Namie Amuro’s warmly embracing vocals.

Built around a piano-based, beautiful melodic line and a relaxed tempo, it’s likely approachable even for those who don’t feel confident in their singing.

However, because the arrangement is simple, it can sound monotonous without dynamic expression, so be mindful to cherish the lingering resonance of each word.

It’s a heartwarming medium-tempo ballad, perfect for celebrating a new departure.

CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie

The 9th single “CAN YOU CELEBRATE?” was written as the theme song for the TV drama Virgin Road.

It’s Namie Amuro’s biggest hit and a double-million seller beloved as a wedding staple.

With minimal melodic movement, it’s easy to sing, but since it shifts between a lively shuffle beat and a ballad, be careful not to get left behind by the rhythmic changes.

As a universally known hit, it’s a pop tune guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session.
