Amuro's history...
Long Long Time Ago...
Amuro Namie's talent was discovered when she went to visit a
performer's-academy with her friends when she was a primary 6
student. Then she started to learn singing and dancing. Sometimes
she would perform in small concerts held by the academy. Three
years later (1992), she and four of her classmates in the academy
(Ameku Minako,Takushi Nanako,Aragaki Hisako and Makino Anna )
joined together and found a band named Super Monkey's. Their
first singles was "Mr. USA". When the second one
"DANCING JUNK" was released, Makino Anna left, and the
band's name were changed to Super
Monkey's 4. In March 1993 , Super Monkey's 4 went to Tokyo to
promote their band.
A year later , Aragaki Hisako left and Nakasone join the band to
replace her . Since Amuro Namie was the best performer amoung the
4, The band change its name to Amuro Namie with Super Monkey's.
Nakasone soon left the band. Miyauchi Reina and Matsuda Ritsuko
joined in when the fifth singles "Try me" was released.
Afterwards, Amuro Namie joined avex trax , working with Tetsuya
