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.

Wishing on the same star is the moving classic by Namie Amuro that was chosen as the theme song for the film Inochi, starring Makiko Esumi and Etsushi Toyokawa.

In addition, the song has been covered by many singers and groups around the world.

Don’t you want to try singing this globally beloved song too? It’s a relaxed ballad with a beautiful melody, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

If the high notes are difficult, be sure to try adjusting the key to one that suits your voice!

This song by Namie Amuro is a refreshing dance number that perfectly captures the liberating feeling of summer.

Released as a single in June 1996, it was featured in Bristol-Myers Squibb’s “SEA BREEZE ’96” commercial.

Its innovative structure—starting with a male rap and then picking up the tempo—paired with Tetsuya Komuro’s sophisticated production makes it especially appealing.

Brimming with bright energy that makes you want to listen by the sea or poolside, it’s also perfect for livening up a karaoke session.

Sing it during a summer drive or at a party with friends, and it’s sure to add a vibrant touch to the 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!
