She is one of the best-selling artists ever in Japan with total sales of approximately 38,000,000 singles and albums. She has released 12 studio albums, 7 compilation albums and 47 singles, as of November 2018.
She initially debuted in 1992 as the lead singer of SUPER MONKEY'S, with fellow Okinawa Actors School classmates MAX as back dancers. After the group disbanded, she eventually had her solo debut in 1995 on the Avex Trax label with the Tetsuya Komuro produced single "Body Feels EXIT", which was an instant hit. The following singles "Chase the Chance", "Don't wanna cry" and "You're my sunshine" all sold 1 million copies during a short period of time. In 1996, Namie released her debut solo album "SWEET 19 BLUES" which sold 3.8 millions of copies throughout Japan and broke sales records at the time. It is the 12th most selling album of all time in Japan. At the end of 1996 she won the Grand Prix Award, the highest honor at the Japan Record Awards, for "Don't wanna cry". Another monumental release for Amuro was 1997's "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?", which was the best selling release of the year, and remains the best-selling physically released single by a solo female artist in Japan.
In 1997, Namie shocked everyone when she announced that SAM (from the band TRF) and she were getting married and that she was pregnant. Namie took a break from the entertainment business and her son, Haruto, was born on May 19, 1998.
Her comeback single, "I HAVE NEVER SEEN", released on December 23rd the same year, gave Amuro a warm welcome back to the industry. "I HAVE NEVER SEEN" became Amuro's 9th number-one single.
On March 17th, 1999, Amuro released her 12th single, "RESPECT the POWER OF LOVE". On the same day, Emiko Taira, Amuro's mother, was murdered. All promotional activites for the single grinded to a halt as Amuro flew to Okinawa to identify Emiko's body. A short break followed for Amuro to recover.
A few months later, Amuro began to work with producer Dallas Austin, known for his work with American hip-hop/R&B trio, TLC. This shift was in part to Amuro's personal desire to create more R&B and Hip-Hop oriented music. In 2001, Amuro parted ways with long-time producer Tetsuya Komuro, as part of her musical direction shift. From this point on, Amuro always would be in complete creative control of her career. Around this time, Amuro made a few attempts at writing lyrics for her songs, including her single "Say the word", which hit #3 on the Oricon charts, and remained a fan-favorite with Amuro performing the song over numerous tours, including her final tour, which included 20 songs that garnered the most fan votes.
Amuro and SAM would divorce in 2002, and Amuro would completely mmerse herself in her work, hardening her R&B and Hip-Hop sound, collaboriating with a number of artists under a sonic project entitled "SUITE CHIC". "SUITE CHIC" helped empower Amuro to not "be stuck in the past" with her music, as she felt mentally constricted by her name at the time. Feeling liberated after releasing a SUITE CHIC album, Amuro would continue to refine her sound and image with the following albums "STYLE" in 2003, and "Queen of Hip-Pop" in 2005.
"PLAY", released on June 27, 2007, became Amuro's highest-selling studio album since her 2000 album, "GENIUS 2000", sold 540,000 copies, and contained another fan-favorite release, "Baby Don't Cry", which reached #3 on the Oricon charts.
2008 marked a new peak in Amuro's career. In March, she released a new single, "60s70s80s", which became her 10th #1 single, the first one for Amuro since 1998's "I HAVE NEVER SEEN".
Amuro released her third "best of" album "BEST FICTION", on July 30, 2008. "BEST FICTION" proceeded to spend 6 weeks at the #1 position on the Oricon charts, had the highest first-week album sales of any release in 2008, became the #2 best overall-selling album of that year, and has sold more than 1.4 million copies since its release.
Namie started a new arena tour called Namie Amuro BEST FICTION 2008-2009 tour. It ran from October 25, 2008 to May 31, 2009. This was her first tour Amuro held sans songs produced by Tetsuya Komuro.
From 2009 on, Amuro would steadily release chart-topping studio albums. Straying from the traditional methods of the Japanese music industry yet again, Amuro decided to utilize a strategy of focusing on touring as means of promotion, rather than TV and commercial appearances. What resulted was a beneficial business move, while fulfilling Amuro's long-time preference to perform over giving interviews. This cultivated a very loyal and diverse fanbase that would consistently result in sold-out shows whenever Amuro toured.
From 2010 to 2018, as Amuro performed relentlessly long tours every year, Amuro remained consistent and dedicated to giving performances she felt she could be proud of, and in the process, quietly withheld that after a vocal cord injury in 2010, Amuro's vocal cords slowly were deteriorating. Amuro later revealed this was the deciding factor in her retirement, as she did not want to perform at a level she personally could not accept.
After her 25th anniversary concert in Okinawa, Amuro announced that she would retire from the industry on September 16th, 2018. The masses, aggrieved with this announcement, even created the name "Amuloss" for the emotion that was felt, knowing Amuro would leave a great void in the music industry.
A greatest hits album, "Finally" would be released in November of 2017 and would go on to sell over 2.5 million copies and be the best-selling album in Japan for both 2017 and 2018. Starting in March 2018, "namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~" would result in Amuro breaking both ticket and Blu-ray/DVD sales records. With shows in all 5 major Japanese domes, including and a handful of shows outside of Japan, nearly 800,000 were in attendance. Pre-orders alone for the Blu-rays/DVDs would exceed the best-selling concert video release at that time. Combined DVD and Blu-ray sales for "namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~" have sold over 1.74 million since its release in late August 2018.

FIRST TIMER
安室奈美恵 Lyrics
(Are you ready?)
何度見ても笑えるけど
何度聞いても泣けるけど
予測的バリデ一ション
マインドのラボでは検証済み
知った気でいる 百戦錬磨
回数ばっかり 節操ねえな
使い過ぎもダメ ニュ一ロン シナプス
加減は如何に? Ooh, I don't get it
Hey, hey, hey, hey だから?
Hey, hey, hey, hey どうする?
Mama 加速未体験ゾ一ン外 外 外
Hold on, papa バ バ バリケ一ド ドド ン
Oh, ド ド ドレミファソラシ go!
Go! Go to heaven
ファ一ストタイム
ファ一ストタイムこそはプライマリ一 プライマリ一 プライマリ一
Higher stimulus, I need that!!!
それを知るのはいつでもセカンドタイム セカンドタイム
Do, do, do, do, do it, la, la, la, la, like a first timer, first timer, ah, ah, ah, ah
あっという間の出来事で
待っていたのは現実感
儚さがこたえる
夢の後先埋まらないギャップ
期待してた 超常現象
この環境じゃ とても出なそう
気を取り直して 腦內トランス
回路を変換 you know I like it
Hey, hey, hey, hey だから?

おnewでフレッシュ塗り替える 出たての新色
あ わかっててもやってしまうお決まりのコ一ス
時空を突破 danger リモコンは效かない

その瞬間パッとぶっ飛び一瞬で宇宙空間
その瞬間は 一人走ってく時間
ヤバいヤバいブラックホ一ル

NIGHTMARE
@奈穂山盛太朗
励ますような歌詞や飾った
ような曲は基本的に嫌いな自分
ですが baby don’t cry や
Ups&Downsのような中身が
しっかりとしたような歌詞は
何故か好きですね。
個人的には飾らない、
前を向いたような明るい歌詞
ではないドSのような歌詞が
入った曲が好きです
『それじゃ届かない』とか
『途中でやめてしまうなんて
nightmare)』って安室ちゃん
の歌詞に入ってると
盛り上がりますね。
ちなみに私はドSです(笑)
クソデッパ
fast carとthe meaning of usの為だけに買っても損はない、それくらい必聴の2曲です。first timerはライブ化けしました！
野杏
小学生のころこのアルバムだけをずーーーーっと聴いてた記憶がある。
1曲目にfast carなの、fastなだけに始めからかっ飛ばす感じで好きだったなぁ。
あと、Dr. ...初めて聴いた時の衝撃は今でも忘れません
かしわ
すべてがすげークオリティだし、Defend loveのような曲でアルバム締めくくるところなんかもセンスすごいと思う
dj azasu
BEST FICTION後の超イケイケな時期にもかかわらず、ヒット曲に走らず、さらにクールな音を追及していいた安室さんかっけーです。
NIGHTMARE
売上が好調の中、
今までと変わらず
自分のスタンスを貫く
安室ちゃんは真のアーティスト
_ genic
ベスフィクが爆売れしたからといって媚びることなくシングルDr./WILDを発売した勢いで発売したアルバム。
ポップな曲が増えていたり、featuring曲もあったり飽きない作品！
Marie Claude duchmole
The best album of her career for me! Love this album ❤️
**
安室ちゃん見てるとほんと乙女心くすぐられる
Dai Go
MY LOVEのCMは実写版Dr.みたいで本当に素晴らしい♪
個人的な感想としては完成系のPLAYを経てまたSTYLE的なリスタートを斬ったイメージのアルバムで後のFEELへの伏線だと感じてました。
こうして見るとPF tourのダンスと編集がいかに良いか分かりますね。
でもってThe Meaning Of Usの映像美とシャワーシーン最高♪
汞hydrogen
あぁ～。このアルバムも好き！
fast carのpvのお洒落さにド肝を抜かれて、love game の挑発にドキドキ。
steal my nightで誘われ、shut upでかっこよく突き放される。
好きだわ。
