i hope Jasmine debut album will get a huge number...and well reception from Japanese public...

I think most of that depends on promotion, and she really hasn't done much in the past with her singles. :/

The Ninki for her album was really low ... only 19. But I'm hoping the album will be a surprise/sleeper hit!

I am really starting to like 'Why' :heart (translation up at my LJ )

:laugh

:hi5

Ikr. Me too. I think she sounds better than sso many artists right now. I really like what this album is turning out to be

Idk why I like jasmine so much lately. Her style of music (mainly r&b) really annoys me lately
But her music is soooo good. She's already cemented a place in my top fav jpop artists
I really wish this album to do well ^___^

Well, I won't expect too much with the sales but hopefully it'll chart for a long time... kinda like Ayu's A Song for XX when it debuted--it slowly sold 1.5 million, hahaha.

I don't like the new promo pic too much. Its like awkward. She's like kinda beautiful there but then kinda dead looking and weird
The claws are strangely cool though. I don't think cleopatra was as pretty as jasmine :)

Just a couple more days...why didn't I order this album? T.T I should beg my parents. I usually don't buy other jpop artists albums

you mean like how she looks in ALL her pictures?

I wish that was the cover of the album, actually. She doesn't look like she's balding.

No. I like her other pics. She's beautiful with the expression she makes
This one is dead as in she looks aged and not as young. Or like she's been on drugs...like that
Its not as beautiful as other pics of her. Tis all

I kind of like the expression she has in the promo, it fits imo.

Good luck JASMINE
I hope she can do something great with her album

I love that shot that's in the magazine. That's a really cool ad!

The album leaked!

Album leaked over at kmc I presume. I downloaded from a different website I go to though. So yay me :) Listening right now. PRIDE was really boring...Hopefully the other album tracks are good.

^ omg you have a RURUTIA set, YOU ARE AMAZING :thud

Going out to buy my copy of the album as soon as stores open up in an hour! It'll be interesting to see how much in-store promotion is going on...
