Namie Amuro (安室奈美恵, born September 20 1977 in Naha, Okinawa), is one of the most prominent and successful singers in Japan.Debuted on September 16th, 1992, Amuro got her start in the music industry as a member of the idol group, Super Monkey's. Her then producer, now Avex CEO, Max Matsuura found her becoming more popular than her group members, thus pulled her out and introduced her to celebrity producer, Tetsuya Komuro to nurture her solo career starting in year 1995. Her debut album Sweet 19 Blues (1996) was a massive hit, becoming the best-selling album by a female soloist at the timenote she was later surpassed by Utada Hikaru's First Love in 1999, while her 1997 single "Can You Celebrate" holds the record for best-selling (physical) single by a female artist. She also attracted major media coverage and controversy for her Shotgun Wedding to a member of the Komuro-produced group TRF at the age of 20. After a period of reduced success in the early 2000s, she reinvented herself as a "Hip-Pop" artist and saw renewed success throughout the late 2000s and The New '10s, and is still one of Japan's most popular female artists two decades into her career.She is famous for her Western-influenced dance-pop style with copious amounts of English lyrics, highly choreographed live performances, and her distinctive fashion sense.On her 40th birthday in September 20th, 2017, Amuro officially announced her plan to retire, and began her international farewell tour throughout her 25th anniversary celebration. Amuro gracefully retired from the entertainment industry effective September 16th, 2018—the exact day of the 26th anniversary of her professional debut. | |

Gratuitous Spanish: "Mi Corazon (Te' Amour)" from GENIUS 2000. The title doubles as Gratuitous French even though there are no French lyrics in the song. Also seen in the chorus of "I Love You" from Queen of Hip-Pop, and briefly in "Step With It!" from PLAY. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: Has gone through a number of them in her career. While part of the Super Monkeys she made Eurobeat music before changing to dance-pop with varying influences when Tetsuya Komuro started producing for her. After parting ways with Komuro she transitioned to westernised R&B and hip hop-influenced pop. Starting in The New '10s her music is primarily electropop or EDM. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Several in her career. Her debut, SWEET 19 BLUES is one compared to her work with the Super Monkeys. Compared to her early Eurobeat music, it has a much more slick, polished dance sound with acid house, jazz, funk and R&B influences. Her followup, Concentration 20, is another one, with a dance-rock sound that's very similar to producer Komuro Tetsuya's work with his own group Globe, and very different from anything she's done before or since. STYLE was her official transition to hip-hop and R&B music. Uncontrolled was her first album to prominently feature electronic dance music, as well as feature multiple English-language tracks, which she's continued with her most recent albums. | |

| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
SWEET 19 BLUES was released when Amuro was 18 years old; Concentration 20 was released when she was 19. Though they were at least released the same year that she turned those ages. Seemingly lampshaded by the interlude "Soon Nineteen" on the former album. | |

Seemingly lampshaded by the interlude "Soon Nineteen" on the former album. ORIGINAL TRACKS VOL. I is actually a compilation album of Super Monkey's tracks. None of the tracks are original. In fairness, this may refer to the fact that the tracks on the compilation are their original versions, whereas the versions on DANCE TRACKS VOL. I were remixed. Ironically, the latter album actually does have original, unreleased tracks | |

"NEW LOOK" samples "Baby Love" by The Supremes, while "ROCK STEADY" and "WHAT A FEELING" sample the songs of the same name by Aretha Franklin and Irene Cara respectively. | |

Foreign Language Title | |
| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_b1b48ad1 | comment |
Foreign Language Title: Every albumnote with one exception: Ballada is the word for "ballad" in several Eastern European languages and nearly all her song titles have English names. All of her tours are titled in English as well. | |

B-Side | |
| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_c2c4e614 | comment |
B-Side: Plenty of them, as is usual for Japanese pop music. Interestingly, a number of songs initially marketed as A-sides from the singles they were on ended up not being included on any studio albums, whereas several of her B-sides have been. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: A real-life example; she is by far the most successful member out of the former Super Monkey's. In a less extreme case, she was the also the most sucessful member of the former "TK Family"note the various acts produced by Tetsuya Komuro during his peak popularity in the 90s other than Komuro's own group Globe, and the only former member to still be making hits over a decade after parting ways with him. | |

Intercourse with You | |
| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_dbfe8427 | comment |
Intercourse with You: Many throughout her career. "Want Me, Want Me" from Queen of Hip-Pop is one of her most blatant: "Violet Sauce" from PLAY. "Hot Girls" wouldn't be an example if not for the random heavy breathing and moaning in the bridge. FEEL has three of these in a row: "Hands on Me", "Heaven", "Poison", and "La La La". | |

Album Filler | |
| Namie Amuro (Music) / int_ddf8c5ba | comment |
Album Filler: The interludes on SWEET 19 BLUES, in which 8 out of the 19 tracks are interludes. Egregious examples are the two 4 second-long interludes note "Watch Your Step" and "Scratch Voices" and back-to-back interludes at the beginningnote "Watch Your Step" and "Motion". | |

Self-Backing Vocalist | |

Self-Backing Vocalist: Most of her albums from STYLE onwards have this. Notably averted on her Komuro-produced albums, which have gospel choirs and (on Concentration 20) Komuro's own vocals featured prominently alongside hers. | |
