No matter what is fashionable, stubbornly sticking to personal style, sometimes an adversity also nourishes strength. Transcending generations even now admired Namie Amuro way of life is dazzlingly, gracefully, endlessly cool!!

Again it is being called the time of Namie Amuro. Always seeking news things, instinctively scenting out fashion, Cawaii! generation’s founding Diva answered our passionate Love Call and came home.

It’s been a long time, Cawaii! I was just shown the photos for the Namie Girly pages, happily I am grateful (laughs). I have graduated from your target age … I won’t say by how many years. But actually many high school students come to my concerts too, “Namie-chan” they call out. Truly, I feel shy. “ii no ka, watashi de?”. Simply, apart from music, fashion is one of my favorite things … I think I’ve said, and now more than before think close to Cawaii! generation’s Mind. It doesn’t force something on someone, rather “When you chose it yourself, you will enjoy it yourself” sensibility. When I look at Cawaii! now I think, ‘If I was in high school now, I would try my best to be cool like that’, and ‘I want to be a reader model too! (laughs)

During the interview she expressed each word “Shy and cute Namie-chan”. But once she switches to “Namie Amuro” mode it’s as if she’s a different person, giving off a difficult to approach aura, by no means large isn’t, anyone to hesitate emitting a word, strain and tension hangs in the air.

Laughter isn’t necessary for my work. I think that. It isn’t that I don’t like laughter, I like funny things very much. But that is private talk, in the workplace having nervous feeling produces better results than being calm, I think. For example, seeing a photograph in a magazine, people might think I’m not smiling because I am in a bad mood, that is different. As there is Taste of the dress that I am wearing at that time, that work see the world by a difference is only. Since I was young first impression when meeting strangers is never good, I think (laughs). But that is an advantage. When I smile just a little, they happily receive it.

“tokaitte tsugi ga nakattara saiaku na mama janai desu ka”, the conversation has from work mode quickly taken a new turn. It is clearly a secret wish of Namie-chan!

That’s a good question. That is, privately I want to be popular, but at work I don’t seek that (laughs). Surely I want to increase male fans, at one time thought about it, but haven’t devoted myself to it yet. If I became serious, at first I would do a uniform limited concert. Boys in uniform only could come to see it. (bursts out laughing). Ha ha. Free of charge in case of a couple! School festivals and such would be good too. But I still don’t have the courage to do that. I’m too shy and embarrassed to do it alone… Not Namie Amuro then but “Suite Chic” more realistic maybe. Rap and Hip-hop is strong, high school students certainly enjoy it. So together with ZEEBRA-san and AI-chan, we could certainly do something interesting. Watch out next year ~ school festival conquest!

Taking a chance to side-track our talk, but ‘Namie-chan would like to be younger?’… ‘or likes to be older, but having young boys as fans is good!!’, another bombshell announcement (laughs).

For a long time I have had more female fans than male fans. I’m really happy about that (laughs). Well, the reason for this is I wasn’t sexy, and I resigned myself to this. But as I became an adult, wouldn’t I like to show somewhat sexy? Borrowing the power of Make-up artist and Stylist (laughs). Feminine feeling is more cute and cool than a sexy mood. Sexy, cute, cool … it’s good that a woman can express all of these. But I don’t usually think like ‘Today I am going to be sexy’. Isn’t it sad? Inside I am thinking ‘Can I do this…’ (laughs). By the way, today I would like ‘Cutie feeling’. Is it possible? (laughs)
