Vol. 6 Namie Amuro (安室奈美恵)

Today's artist is Namie Amuro (安室奈美恵), a famous singer in Japan. She was born in Okinawa. When she was 11 years old, she was spotted and recruited as a singer, but she refused. Afterward, she participated in a children's karaoke competition which was held on a local TV program in Okinawa, and she won. She is good at dance in addition to singing. She wanted to be an actress at first, but she was impressed by Janet Jackson's performance and she became a singer.

In the 1990s, she became known for her fashion as well as her songs. She had brown hair and wore a miniskirt and platform shoes at that time. Many young girls followed her fashion. Those girls were called Amura (アムラー). So she became a fashion leader too. Certainly she continued to focus on her songs as well. Her songs usually sold over a million copies and she received some awards. And some her songs were used in TV dramas and in commercials.

Today's song's name is " NEW LOOK". This song's theme is 60s fashion, so people who appear in this music video wear 60s clothes. I think her music videos are lovely and cool. That's why I love her. This music video is so fashionable and pretty, so I think girls will like it! Of course boys too!
