Namie Amuro (安室奈美恵, Amuro Namie, born September 20, 1977) is a retired Japanese self-produced recording artist, dancer, model, actress and entrepreneur. A leading figure of the Japanese entertainment industry since the early 90s, Amuro is known for breaking the youthful idol stereotype with her experimentation with different music styles in Japan and throughout the Western world, as well as visual imagery in music videos and on stage. Due to her longevity, resilience, high level of professionalism and efforts behind the scenes in the music industry, she is an icon in Japan as the diva of the Heisei era. She is also referred to as "Queen of Japanese Pop" and has constantly been recognized as the Japanese equivalent to leading Western artists, such as Janet Jackson and Madonna.

Born in Naha, Okinawa, Japan, Amuro debuted as the lead singer of an idol group named Super Monkey's when she was 14 years old. Despite early disappointments with sales, she ventured into fashion modeling and acting, attracting domestic attention with the group's best-selling single "Try Me (Watashi o Shinjite)". She signed to Avex Trax in 1995 and debuted as a solo artist with "Body Feels Exit". After two million-selling records, Sweet 19 Blues (1996) and Concentration 20 (1997), Amuro released her single "Can You Celebrate?", which remains the best-selling single by a solo female artist in Japanese music history. From 1999, Amuro partnered with international musicians and producers on her records, the first offering being Genius 2000 (2000).
