Amuro Namie Meets Amuro Ray

The music video for best selling J-pop vocalist Amuro Namie’s new single, “Defend Love” will be a short Gundam anime in which the singer meets well known Gundam hero Amuro Ray. The video will reportedly be the first time that a real-life person has appeared in a Gundam anime. Amuro Ray’s original voice actor, Tohru Furuya, reprises his role in the music video.

Reportedly Amuro Namie has felt a lifelong affinity with Amuro Ray due to their unusual, similar names, and she personally asked for Amuro Ray to appear in her “Defend Love” video to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Gundam anime franchise.

Amuro Namie’s new album, Past Future, goes on sale December 16. The CD includes a DVD with 6 music videos, among them the animated “Dr.” and “Defend Love,” both animated by Sunrise.

Is that an animated Amuro Namie standing in for Lala Sun?
