Namie Amuro : Wonder Woman (Video)

Don't know Namie? Where in the world have you been?

She made her debut at the age of 14 and even now, at the age of 33, she is still going strong. "Over a decade since her musical debut, Amuro has remained one of the longest surviving popular female acts in Japan. She also continues to successfully combat social stigma as a divorced, working, single mother ... She has sold over 30 million copies in Japan to date and currently stands at 12th in all time Japanese artist sales ranking." (Wikipedia) As the "Queen Of Hip Hop", Namie has worked her tail off through a lot of ups, downs, reinventions, and criticism, and while I haven't always been a huge fan of her music, I have discovered a new appreciation for her over the past couple of years. It was after, "Hide and Seek", that I just really flipped upside down and screamed in ecstasy for several days and decided that Namie was truly the hottest shit in Japan.

Namie is already a POWERHOUSE and her newest album, "Checkmate!", features collaborations with some of the top artists in Japan and Korea. (Yes, Korea. What did I say about the Korean's taking over the Japanese music charts? Well now After School is teamed up with Namie so good lord watch out!) Namie is no stranger to collaborations. In 2008 she worked with Double on "Black Diamond" and then with Ai - the Queen of Hip Hop Soul - on "Fake" which is probably the only video that I've seen Namie actually have fun and smile genuinely in. Both Ai and Anna Tsuchiya - who is the end all, be all of awesome - have worked together on Anna's "Crazy World" which is the HOTTEST I've ever seen Ai look. DAMN!

So basically we're talking about three incredibly powerful, talented, and crazy popular women teaming up for the definitive song that describes each of them, Wonder Woman.
