Amuro Namie

also known as:   Namie Amuro  

major - active (1995 - )

Although Namie’s music is primarily R&B, her style also expands into other genres such as rock, pop and even dance/trance. Her songs are dynamic and engaging, and the lyrics are typically a fluid mix of Japanese and English.

While people have spoken of a rivalry between her and Ayumi Hamasaki, in fact both artists have their own unique styles, and aside from being successful individual artists, they are hardly even comparable.
