* Namie's Comeback at Kouhaku: Cried
& Lost Voice * * Kimura's Highly Energized Singing *
translated by HELENA
AT this year's big new year's eve NHK annual
event ~the biggest focus j-tv/j-music fans is
definitely -- Amuro Namie's <1st Comeback Live> at Kouhaku on DEC 31st:
Whether she's as fit as before? The answer: She didn't drop any Watt,
still professional as ever. This 21 year old new mommy was really
overcame with emotions (she was touched), therefore, when she sang 'til
the end of , she couldn't hold back her tears and
lost her voice; lost 2 phrases. What a touching scene!
Smap appeared a little bit earlier than Namie; they wore suits and sat
singing . Kimura Takuya, who held a guitar and
dominated the Solo part, seemed to be electrified - he sang very well,
his voice vibrated, even better than listening to album-disc! Cool (or
great)!
* Norika Fujiwara Dressed Up *
Talk about coolness, definitely worth mentioning was judge Norika
Fujiwara who sat at VIP along with other famous people (such as
superstars of sports, older stars, and so on)! 27 year old Fujiwara
dressed up as Pink Lady and wore jewelry borrowed from New York jeweler
Harry Winston; jewelry worth 215 million yen. Beautiful to the point
where words can't even express. |
