Namie Amuro (å®å®¤å¥ç¾æµ) was born at Naha, Okinawa prefecture, on 20th of September 1977. Her parents divorced while she was only a toddler, leaving her mother responsible for bringing up Namie and her 3 siblings all alone. The low funds of the family didnât prevent Namie from chasing her dreams to be a star. She was attending Okinawa Actors School successfully, despite her having to walk everyday for 2 hours to go and return from the school - her family couldnât afford public transportation.
At her fifteen, she formed a girl group with some classmates of hers, called âSUPER MONKEYâSâ, under TOSHIBA EMI label. At first, their sales were pretty decent but after the 5th single âTRY ME ~ç§ã'ä¿¡ãã¦~â (01/25/1995), the group started having proper recognition at the charts, getting into the top 10 and being invited at ç´ ç½æåæ¦ (Kouhaku Uta Gassen), a big annual music show.
During that period, the group had already moved in Tokyo and changed its name to âNamie Amuro with SUPER MONKEYâSâ with Namie taking the upper hand and the lead role of the group. The two following singles made big success as well, resulting to Avex, through the superstarsâ producer Tetsuya Komuro, noticing the band, offering a solo career contract for Namie. The rest of the members regrouped with the name Musical Active eXperience or, simply, MAX.
