Weekly Music Video

Today it's the video for CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK by Namie Amuro (or Amuro Namie in the Japanese way with the surname first). Namie is one of the most popular singers in Japan, with a long running career of over 20 years. She started out in girl group Super Monkey's in the early 90s and then went on to release solo singles in 1995. Her debut solo single under her current record label Avex Trax, Body Feels EXIT was a hit and remains one of her most popular songs. 

Namie started out as a J-pop and dance singer but has moved more towards R'n'B in recent years. To date she has released 40 singles, 10 studio albums and 5 compilation albums, her latest being Uncontrolled (2012). She is also credited with starting fashion trends in Japan.

CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK is from Namie's 8th studio album Play (2007).

Update 14/9/18: Avex videos are now blocked from being shown on third party applications. If you click on the video you can watch it fine on YouTube. :)

Update 2- 25/9/20: I had to replace this due to a lot of Namie's video getting re-uploaded. This version is only a minute long.

Update 2- 27/12/23: Most of Namie's videos have now been removed from YouTube, likely due to her 2018 retirement. It's disappointing, I do think they could leave her music up on platforms. :( It's not just YoTube but streaming platforms too. Apparently, it may be due to contracts being reviewed and deleting duplicate songs. 

There is a YouTube channel called Final Space where you can still find some of her music videos and live performances. I've replaced the videos in my posts where I can. :)

This is a live performance video of CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK, containing clips from several of Namie's tours.

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences. The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the D

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo),
