Mint / (Lyric Video)

It’s a thrilling, cool dance-rock number written as the theme song for the drama “My Dangerous Wife.” It’s a hidden gem characterized by a music video where he dances with a personal record of 36 female dancers and by its mysterious guitar phrases.

If you firmly internalize the melody of the chorus, I think you’ll be able to sing it without any problems.

There’s quite a bit of English outside the chorus, but if you carefully look at the lyrics while singing, I’m sure you’ll be fine.

If English is tough for you, I recommend slowing down the playback speed on YouTube to practice.

Put ‘Em UpAmuro Namie30rank/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.

Think of Me / (Live Edit)

This piece is one of the double A-side title tracks released in January 2001, and is also known as a re-cut from the album “break the rules.” It was used as the song for Meiji’s “Fran” commercial featuring Namie Amuro herself.

While it depicts the pain of parting, the lyrics that plead “I want you to remember” leave a strong impression.

The vocal range isn’t that wide, but the subtle rhythms and breath nuances are crucial, making it challenging to keep the performance from becoming monotonous.

The ad-libs in the chorus are also a key point, so be sure to listen closely to the original and lock in the groove.

It’s a deep, mature number you’ll want to sing when you want to create a calm, adult atmosphere.

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!

Just you and lAmuro Namie33rank/position

Just You and I / (Live Edit)

A moving ballad by Namie Amuro that conveys deep love for an irreplaceable presence.

The gentle yet resolute vocals, intertwined with strings and piano, create a sound brimming with euphoria, over which straightforward lyrics pledging eternal love are layered—leaving listeners deeply moved.

Released in May 2017 as her 47th single, this song was chosen as the theme for the NTV Wednesday drama “Mother.” As you surrender yourself to its warm melody, you’ll feel the preciousness of loving a child and a sense of happiness.

Surely, your heart will be filled to the brim with a strong love for your own child.

Say the wordAmuro Namie34rank/position

Amuro Namie Say the Word – Finally Tour Tokyo Dome Live

This is a landmark song for which Namie Amuro herself wrote the lyrics for the first time.

It marked her first self-produced release after moving away from Komuro’s production, and it’s a dance track imbued with a powerful, forward-looking message said to express “the courage to take a step forward.” The overall vocal range is G3 to C#5; rather than staying consistently high, it features occasional pinpoint high notes.

Since it’s basically sung in the mid-to-high range, you should be able to handle it if you sing calmly.

The key changes in the final chorus, raising the range, so be careful not to strain.

Break ItAmuro Namie35rank/position

Break It / (Lyric Video)

The double A-side single “Break It,” which fuses a rock flavor with an aggressive dance beat.

In addition to being used as the theme song for Coca-Cola Japan’s “Coca-Cola Zero” commercial, the track is also included on the album “Uncontrolled,” and its powerful message about breaking through the status quo is striking.

In the music video released back in 2010, Namie Amuro delivers a performance alongside near-futuristic motorcycles, distilling her cool aesthetic into a single piece.

The tempo is fast and the rhythm is finely subdivided, making it difficult to sing, but the explosive energy in the chorus is outstanding, making it perfect for when you want to get pumped up.

However, since much of the lyrics are in English and the breathing is unforgiving, be careful not to fall behind the beat when singing it at karaoke.
