SUITE CHIC is the name of a special project bringing together well-known names from Japanese hip-hop and R&B. It is centered around vocalist Namie Amuro. Having released two albums and two singles, SUITE CHIC allowed Namie to explore using R&B in her work and also served as an introduction for many of the artists involved to the music scene, helping them gain recognition. The idea of SUITE CHIC emerged from a conversation between Verbal (of m-flo) and IMAI Ryôsuke: the two found themselves debating who could be the Japanese equivalent of Janet Jackson.
