I'm sorry, it's my Mac always changing up the words. It annoys me. I'm really sorry XD

^ You're not doing that on purpose? xD I thought you totally were. It's hilarious.

And thank you! Who doesn't love a good potato and rolex watch? :D

haha I'm not sure about that... all I know is that now in my google search history I have 'Utada Hikaru with Potato' in it. :laugh

I'll keep it up :)

please God ... i need the new PV in my Life! :rolleyes

I hate waiting! :grumpy

YOUR SIG OHMYGODTADA!!!!!!! :roflmao
Add the potato in there somewhere and I'll make it my screensaver.

^^You both have the best signatures on the site lol.

Anywayz, here's the update of oricon ;)

10.17: No. 1 - 6,813
10.18: No. 5 - ??
10.19: No. 1 - 5,251

Week 3 official sales: 63,207
Total sales (excluding week 4): 419,642
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

My guess for 10.18 should be somewhere around 5000 - 5500. So the estimate week 4 sales so far should be 17K. If the sales for the remaining days are constant (except Sunday, which I expect somewhere around 10K), her weekly sales should be around 40K. So Fantôme should pass 450 this week. I think it will pass 500K eventually :D.

^ How many more weeks left until Oricon 2016 ends?? Is there a possibility she surpasses that Exile boy band? Arashi will probably take the #1 spot of the year but I want Utada to get #2.

Regardless of how strong digital album sales are/are not in Japan, it always infuriates me that Oricon don't include them. Such a backwards chart. Would love to know how much the album has actually sold.

urgh i love her harmonies on this record :dead2
still loving this album!

my co-worker caught me dancing to Michi some days ago and then she danced with me saying: idk this song, but i live, let's bop! lmao
yeah can't wait for (i'm 90% sure it's) Michi!

and gurl, your sig - i'm crying :laugh

Oricon only counts the daily sales until the third place? LOL

Wikipedia is reporting 3,500 in sales for Fantome in the United States.:USA

^^like forever

I think it's quite hard to surpass Sandaime sales (650K? I forgot). I think hikki will get No. 3 yearly, which is actually amazing. You have to consider that her fans are not those teenager girls who are crazy for boybands (Arashi, Sandaime), and the fact that she only released one edition for the album only (as opposed to Sandaime's JSB LEGACY, which has 5 editions; Arashi's upcoming album has 2 editions).

Yeap, it has been like that for so long :P.

Today's sales:
10.20: No. 1 - 4,558

I wonder what they're waiting on with the new MV? I figured it would come out once the sales went stagnant to boost them back up.

^True, but like I said, I'm probably spoiled from all the artists I listen to. :D And with any artists hiatus I usually lose interest for a while, depending how long they've been inactive for.

I don't think she will have another English album for western market again. The whole western music industry has lots of bias, aka racists af.
