Pop stars have a significant impact on the tastes and preferences of the target audience. This factor has long been known. Popular Japanese singer Namie Amuro has become a trendsetter in miniskirts and high boots.

My father worked in the number of service personnel at the military base located here. The mother was engaged in housekeeping. Namie was the second child of three. When the girl was four years old, her parents divorced. Mother had to, as they say, pull the family alone. She worked in kindergarten for days, and in the evenings she was on duty at the local hospice.
American soldiers brought to Okinawa not only cigarettes and branded items, but also albums with music and videos. The Amuro family had a record player in the house, and the girl had the opportunity to watch American films. She really liked recordings of songs and dances performed by the famous Janet Jackson. Namie very similarly mimicked the singer's demeanor she saw on screen.
The way to the stage
The girl decided to get a specialized education at a local acting school. However, training here was paid. The headmaster appreciated Namie's ability and accepted her as an exception. Moreover, he gave her a small scholarship. The girl attended classes three times a week. It took her an hour and a half to get to school. She enthusiastically engaged in creativity and dreamed of a successful career. When she was fifteen years old, the young actress decided to go to Tokyo.
The mother strongly objected to this trip, but her daughter was able to convince her of the correctness of her decision. In mid-1992, Amuro began performing in a newly organized pop group. Her vocal abilities are noticed by professional producers. She began to behave on stage as she did when the American singer, whom the girl watched as a child on the screen. Namie was the first Japanese star to get a tattoo and show it in the pictures.
Personal life plots
