It's been 20 years since the moment when I knew she was going to hit it big, and she's made so many miracles happen, left so many foot prints.
Komuro Tetsuya
Music producer
As an entertainer, as a woman, you were yourself. You have always looked ahead and moved forward, and I have nothing but feelings of respect and gratitude.
Takeuchi Nanako
Singer
She has always been a hard worker, but she would never want to show it in front of others. She would confront everything head-on, and that's what I really respected about her.
Miyauchi Reina
Singer
When the TK Family gathered and sang together, she was the only one shining. She had a wonderful presence.
Kahala Tomomi
Singer
I am the same age as Amuro-san and I respect her strength, she can sing and dance, she's cute, she's got style, I suppose there will not be anyone like her again.
Mochida Kaori
Singer
I think the whole reason I wanted to sing while dancing is that I longed to be like the person named Namie Amuro. (...) She was really a woman everyone aspired to be like.
Koda Kumi
Singer
When I stood in front of you I wasn't able to say anything... but you were my idol when I was young and I think that from here on, your amazing performance will always remain in my memories.

Singer
Keep shining, keep inspiring us, and most importantly keep smiling, my barbie !
Jolin Tsai
Singer
You are our hero. I hope that lots of happiness will come to you for your future.

About Toi et Moi
Toi et Moi was created in 1997 under the name "Namie Amuro in French". It evolved into 3 different versions before becoming a gallery in 2011 (v4). The Final Version has been launched in September 2018 to pay homage to Amuro Namie's career and celebrate her retirement. It will keep being updated with more contents and archives.
A very rare live of Mr U.S.A.!!![]()

As a sidenote, Okinawa Actors School special event took place on October, 2nd. Namie was nowhere to be seen unfortunately, but many artists were reunited for the occasion (on the other hand, rumors say that Namie was supposed to attend the Hanabi festival and kept exercising to maintain her figure). ![]()

Olivia Lufkin & Chikano performed two of their D&D songs, Chiharu from Kiroro and Chinen Rina were there too. Hiro from SPEED first gave a solo performance before Eriko and Takako joined her for "Body & Soul". Da Pump and, of course, MAX performed too. ![]()

The most notable part could be the Super Monkey's reunion without Namie! Anna, Hisako, Mina and Nana performed "Koi no cute beat" before being joined by Lina and Reina to perform "Mr U.S.A". I couldn't find any video of these performances now, but if they appear on the Internet, I will share them.
