Feel (Namie Amuro album)

Last updated

"There are so many different kinds of music all around the world, so I thought about what gave me good vibes, gradually listening and choosing “music” that fit the mood, situation, etc. at the time. I think music is something that can communicate those things even without words there to explain. I hope everyone can take something different away from this album.” [9]

—Amuro discussing her musical exploration of Feel.

Musically, Feel is predominately inspired by electronic dance music and electro house. [10] [11] Prior to its release, Amuro said the album would "convey the energy and feeling of summer," later confirming that it would feature various dance numbers. [6] Furthermore, she re-iterated her sentiments with Mina magazine, saying, "The album is very summery and high energy, and you can just enjoy it without having to think too much." [12] Billboard Japan noted the diveristy of the albums sound, citing "aggressive tracks and simple ballads". [13] Japanese magazine CD Journal echoed similar opinions, but noted the record being influenced by electronic dance music and electro house. [10] Writing for The Japan Times , contributor Patrick St. Michel noted the albums influenced on Westernized production standards, citing electronic dance music and electropop as major musical notes. Additionally, he compared the sound to Japanese musicians Kumi Koda and Ayumi Hamasaki, whom, according to St. Michel, also experimented with this sound previously. [11]

Feel opens with the track "Alive", an electronic dance number that includes a bass drop during its chorus and instrumentation of heavy basslines and electric guitar riffs. [10] [11] The songs producer, Anthony Maniscalco, sampled the composition and placed it into his own song titled "Magnet", under his stage name Hook n Sling. [7] The second song "Rainbow" is also inspired by electro house music, and was compared to the song "I Love It" by Swedish musical act Icona Pop. [10] [11] "Can You Feel This Love?" is the third track on the album, and was produced by Ryuichiro Yamaki, a collaborator whom Amuro had previously worked with during her time with Japanese group Suite Chic. [10] "Big Boys Cry", the fourth song on the album, is a rhythmic-sounding number that was produced by Swedish music team Dsign Music. [10] The fifth track on the album is "Hands on Me", an club-oriented electro house number with elements of complextro sounds and heavy drum beats. [10] Produced by German-Russian producer Zedd, the albums sixth track "Heaven" is another electro house-driven song that lyrically touches on themes of love. [10]

"Poison" is the seventh track on Feel, and is a club-inspired number that was described as "sexy" and "dangerous". [10] [11] "La La La", the albums eighth track, is a confident electro house track. [10] The albums ninth track, "Supernatural Love", is inspired by both electropop and dancehall sounds, alongside elements of K-pop and Korean contemporary dance music. [10] "Let Me Let You Go" is the only ballad that appears on the record, and is a simple-piano driven song that showcases Amuro's vocal deliveries. [10] [11] "Contrail", the eleventh song that appears on the album, is mid-tempo dance number that includes instrumentation of synthesizers, keyboards and a drum machine. [14] The album closes with the song "Stardust in My Eyes", which features various string arrangements over an electro house and drum and bass composition. [10]

Release and formats

"This album requires the use of your senses to enjoy, so the design covering various parts of the face ties into that. The ways people obtained information in the past was very limited, but we currently live in an era of information overload. In such an age, it becomes especially important to decide what is right for yourself. So I hope people can be truly free to choose the way they want to enjoy music." [8]

—Amuro talking about the photoshoot for Feel.

Feel was released on July 10, 2013. It is her eleventh musical effort, and her second studio album to incorporate the English language. Additionally, it is Amuro's first release with Dimension Point, a sub-division of her label Avex Trax, and her final record working with her management company Rising Production (formerly Vision Factory). [7] The album features 12 tracks totalling more than 42 minutes in length. Two other formats, the DVD and Blu-Ray version, included seven music videos; "Alive", "Big Boys Cry", "Hands on Me", "Heaven", "Let Me Let You Go", "Contrail", and an unreleased English version of the album track "Can You Feel This Love?". [7]

All three versions of Feel were released on various physical formats. First-pressings of the album were distributed as a digipack, which included the album booklet and details exclusive to Amuro's fanclub. [7] Retail outlets in Japan issued either a large poster or stickers to the first-press editions of the album, whilst a T-shirt with the album art was released through Amuro's fanclub. [15] After the roll-out of the first-pressings, the album was distributed with a jewelcase packaging. [7] The album artwork and photoshoot was photographed by Takaki Kumada, which featured black and white close-up shots of Amuro's face, while the art direction and the album's booklet was designed by Masaru Yoshikawa from AEI. [7] All three cover arts of the album are loosely inspired by the depiction of the three wise monkeys; it shows Amuro covering her ears, eyes, and mouth. [7]

After Amuro's retirement from the entertainment industry, Dimension Point published all of her music on streaming services and various digital outlets in mid-2019, including Feel. [16] However, in November 2023, Feel, alongside the rest of Amuro's music releases, were removed from physical retailers, digital outlets, and streaming services due to unexplained reasons. [17]

Namie Amuro concert chronology

Amuro announced her Feel tour in early mid 2013. The dates were confirmed via a flyer given out with the purchases of Feel, enclosed in the album's booklet. [7] A total of 44 shows in over 20 different cities were scheduled in Japan, spanning from August 16 at the Yokosuka Arts Theatre, Kanagawa Prefecture, and finishing on December 23 at the Fukuoka Convention Center in Fukuoka. [31] A special website was hosted by Avex Trax during the concert tour, showing a live report and special photos from specific concert dates. [32] An Asian leg was originally added to the concert tour, having Amuro travel to Singapore for a live show with promotion handled by Midas Promotions; this would have been the singer's second visit to the country. However, in April 2013, a tour promoter cancelled the show and cited "local promoter issues". However, Midas Promotions uploaded a press release, believing poor ticket sales and expensive rates to be the primary issue. [33]

A live album and DVD/Blu-Ray were recorded at the Saitama Super Arena on December 1. A total of 28 songs were added on the track list, including a bonus track of "Contrail", which was recorded at the National Yoyogi Stadium First Gymnasium to commemorate her 500th live performance.

Feel received mixed-to-positive reviews from music critics. A review from Billboard Japan noted the albums diverse set of genres and sounds, describing the record as "cutting-edge." [13] Similarly, a review from CDJournal also complimented the albums set of sounds. Although the review was ambivalent towards a few "simple songs" on the record, Feel was praised for its "ambitious" production and for Amuro's vocal deliveires. [10] Blerds Online held a ranking of all of Amuro's studio albums, and listed Feel at number five, highlighting its "cohesive sound" and labelled it as "unique". The review highlighted "Rainbow", "La La La", and "Stardust In My Eyes" as the album standouts. [40]

Contributing for The Japan Times , Patrick St. Michel wrote a mixed review. He opined that Feel was a "calculated stab at Western sensibilities", noting the overwhelming use of the English language and collaborations with producers outside of Japan as factors. [11] Although he highlighted "Alive", "Rainbow", "Big Boys Cry" and "La La La" as standouts, he felt the production standards lacked "ambition". [11] Overall, he summarised the album by saying, "Had Amuro and her team focused on perfecting this sound, Feel would match up to any Western electro-pop album from 2013. Unfortunately it doesn't, and the inconsistency makes for a frustrating listen." [11]

Commercially, Feel was a success. In Japan, Feel debuted at the top of the daily and weekly Oricon Albums Chart, opening with sales of 247,689 copies in its first-six days. [41] It became Amuro's eleventh album to top both charts on Oricon, and also became the highest first-week sales for a solo female artist that year, beating Nanda Collection (2013) by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. [42] Feel spent six weeks inside the top ten on the weekly chart, and lasted 45 weeks in total. [43] By the end of 2014, the album was the sixth-best selling record in the country, having sold 382,684 copies. Additionally, Amuro became the highest-selling solo artist in terms of album sales that year. [44] Moreover, the album opened at number one on the Billboard Japan Hot Album Sales chart. [45] Feel was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipments of 250,000 units. [46]

Elsewhere, Feel charted in other territories in Asia. In South Korean, the album debuted and peaked number 25 on the South Korean Gaon Albums Chart, her highest entry in the region,a nd also appeared on the Overseas chart at number five. [47] [48] In Taiwan, Feel reached the top spot both the G-Music standard chart and East Asian chart for a sole week. [49] [50]
