September 16th marked the release of a dream ~* collaboration between Crystal Kay & Amuro Namie!!!! And while the LE single does include two pretty spectacular coupling with songs by soloist Crystal Kay, this tiny musical~drooling frenzy will be just about the collaborated title track “REVOLUTION” which certainly delivers as advertised~!~! I certainly had to go with ordering the Limited Edition as any promise of a PV is readily a personal must-have and with each first press edition you’ll also receive a most gorgeous A2 sized poster as an external bonus ….which means it’s not folded YAY! Photographed atop ^^.
While surely Crystal Kay holds her own very well both onstage as well as in studio, the iconic vocalizations and presence of one Amuro Namie is undeniable in the very nature of her commanding dominance as we need not ever view the resume as her readily recognized history, nuances and power even as an equally billed performer on this single, seems still a bit overwhelming for Kay~san! And I say that with total respect for Crystal Kay!!

“REVOLUTION” (mv)~
Call it your cheer ~* song!!~!! for all of your power diva + dance epic lovin’ needs! Stylishly sexy beyond words through wardrobes and make-up, you get the full immersive aura of being smack~dab in the realms of a high energy rave-like club …or rather call it a warehouse-club for that matter as the set is impressively sizeable all the while maintaining a centralized twin pedestal zone which coolly pulses and radiates like a light show! REally vibrant physically as well, having such a large audience full of extras or rather VERY lucky fans indeed! ….to be on set for this dream matchup. And really “REVOLUTION” is one of those first time listens where you’re pretty immediately drawn into its hook~line & sinker of a musical groove as this one oozes a get your groove on catchiness~♥ ^^.
Additionally to this must see music video! ….the LE includes a nine+ minute look behind the scenes making of and talk about your candidly awesome “fly on the wall” moments as Crystal Kay’s nearly giddy or rather she IS giddy~beside~herself here as she goes to meet her co-star Amuro Namie aka: Pop/ R&B’s household name! It’s really a cute moment captured here with the most honest reactions you could wish for and the immense respect and gratitude is on full unguarded display here no question! The making of appears just a bit further down after you know, I Amuro-Kay~cap~frenzy you for a bit here ^^….!

I will be honest, the only time I heard Amuro Namie was from One Piece. She did the 14th opening song. She was great singer.

Oh do tell which song it was!! I most likely wasn’t familiar with One Piece back then albeit I’m still mostly an amateur fan at best =).
I’d recommend listening to her any of her early releases just in case you’re not really in R&B?
See:

Oh and I apologize for the audio issues in the videos here although I’m guessing you didn’t watch them. In any case there is a bad distortion issue with the audio, I hope to fix it a bit later today.

No worries, thank you 🙂
I believe heard her in the 14th opening song of One Piece. The song was called “Fight Together”. Here is the link of the anime opening [enjoy it while it lasts, YouTube has taken down this video multiple times of copyright 😦 ]:
Here is another one in full video and live:
She has lovely voice and I should check out her music. Got any suggestions on where to start?

Thank you~♡!!!! Her voice and really her presence are just amazing, plus her career longevity speaks for itself.
Her early solo song “Rainbow Moon” …for sure that’d be the song to start with. It’s Included In the post I’ve linked above ^^.

Crystal Kay has had an amazing career, hasn’t she. And she’s still on fine form! Sadly, I’m getting a lot of distortion in the audio and both singers sound as though they need a good gargle with Listerine! (The making-of is also distorted: do you think it’s a browser issue?) I went over to YouTube and listened there. Very impressive song which manages to take a familiar kind of song and make it really fresh and new. Definitely one to sing along to! Is it just me, or does the chorus have a hint of ‘Koi suru fortune cookie’ to it? Thank you for posting!

I have to admit this is my very first Crystal Kay purchase!! And the draw was Amuro Namie as I’m pretty much addicted to her voice and music!~! =) Un now that you mention it there is a bit of a likeness there intertwined in the chorus melody. Such an outstanding song for sure!
Hmmm…it’s definitely a encoder issue =/. I’m checking the encoder settings now and now I’m really afraid if that has occurred in any other videos here?? Could you please let me know as I may need to fix them!!! xD

I’ve just checked Otokichi, but Masa only has three CDs of Crystal Kay. However, there are many on eBay. Sad about the encoding, but good it was just a few uploads that will need to be redone.

Hmm wouldn’t know where to begin with her catalog. Ah I would’ve thought Otokichi would’ve had more in stock but eBay can be a price friendly place to shop well depending on the seller as they sometimes get you with the shipping cost.
Still haven’t heard back from tech support, without it I feel as if my bloggy hands are tied =/.

Okay I’ve identified the issue as it’s definitely the encoder program, a few days ago I updated it to the latest version and it seems to have started all of the audio distortion here xD. I’ve contacted support so hopefully I can get it fixed soon! =) The only posts being troubled by the audio distortion appear to be just two of them: This Crystal Kay post and the Ninja Scroll anime post. So it’s not too bad as that’s just four videos to redo after the encoder is working properly again. Funny I shouldn’t have updated it as it’s worked without a hitch for a long time now xD.
If you get a chance be sure to check out Takenouchi Yutaka on SMAP Bistro as well as the Morning Musume early morning room invasion clip! I’ve linked the Momusu post to an earlier comment where we were speaking about it ^^.
