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.

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
