Namie Amuro - Sweet 19 Blues

  • I. Introduction

    SWEET 19 BLUES is the debut solo album by Namie Amuro. Much like the singles leading up to the record, all the lyrics, music and arrangements were done by Komuro Tetsuya and his production team. With the success of this album, Amuro quickly became a a fashion icon and media sensation by denying the typical Japanese beauty standards, and set a new standard for female artists in Japan. There were four physical singles released leading up the record (including three #1 singles), and one re-cut single a month later. Various album tracks on the album were used as radio singles or had tie-ins. "LET'S DO THE MOTION" was used in its parent album's TV commercial, "PRIVATE" was the commerical song for Nissan cars, and "I'll JUMP" was released to radio. "Interlude ~ Joy" was later re-recorded into a full song, "Joy", which became both the b-side to m.c.A・T's single "Thunder Party" and the re-cut single to the parent album's title track, and used as the Maxell UD2's CM song (credited as m.c.A・T feat. Amuro Namie).
