A hopeful, up-tempo track by Namie Amuro, the songstress who blazed through the Heisei-era music scene.

RESPECT the POWER OF LOVE / (Live Edit)

After returning from maternity leave, Namie Amuro’s 13th single, released in March 1999, is a powerful anthem that stirs the listener’s soul.

Sung over a grand, gospel-infused sound, it delivers a universal message of believing in the power of love and facing adversity head-on.

The song’s overwhelming vitality fused with her commanding vocals gives listeners the courage to live.

It was also featured in a KOSE “VISEE” commercial and included on the acclaimed album GENIUS 2000.

The fact that Amuro herself said, after overcoming the tragedy that occurred on the release day, “I’m truly glad it was this song,” speaks to the depth of its message.

Put ‘Em UpAmuro Namie27rank/position

Namie Amuro – Put ‘Em Up Live Buzz Asia (2004-07-24)

This is Namie Amuro’s 24th single released under her solo name, issued in July 2003.

During the era when she was racking up million-selling hits produced by Tetsuya Komuro, she actually had more allure in her mid-to-low vocal range than in the high notes often featured in Komuro’s melodies.

On this track, produced by Dallas Austin, the sound design is such that you could almost call it Western music with Japanese lyrics, which helps showcase the full appeal of her lower register.

To sing this song well, it really comes down to how naturally you can deliver Japanese lyrics with a Western-style groove.

Mermaid Namie Amuro

This is a cover by Namie Amuro of a song released in 1994 by NOKKO, the vocalist of Rebecca, after the band disbanded.

The cover was released in May 2006.

Compared to NOKKO’s original version, which features a relatively high and bright vocal tone, Amuro’s cover is particularly interesting for how it makes use of her slightly lower and fuller voice.

If you’re interested, it’s fun to listen to NOKKO’s original and compare the two.

In a sense, the two singers have highly contrasting vocal qualities, so comparing both versions is also very useful as karaoke study material.

Be sure to choose the one that suits your own voice and give it a try!
