thats really expensive, can you tell me the OS price when you buy it, karen? (you will buy it right? XP)

wow i'm so proud of namie!!!

OS press's price - sure I can let everyone know about that Seb & no I'm not buying it

too broke lah :weep

wow awesome sales. Congrats to Namie. I must say if i wasn;t so very broke atm I'd also order it :yes Do Me More rocks.

she is freakin me out ahhaha

wow.. ic.. the Japan press alr arrived here so soon?

Anw I do hope u can update me when the OS ver arrives and the price. hehez. that wld be great.
Thanks in advanced, Karen!

Geez over 300,000. that's really REALLY amazing. I seriously can't wait to pick up my copy this Saturday!

yeah I was quite surprised when I saw it on the shelves when I was at HMV Heeren just now in the afternoon

& can can , I will update everyone on the price of the OS press when it's out , I think it will be standard lah from Warner SG , maybe about S$20.95+ onwards since usually the OS presses will come with the DVD .

Warner SG will be silly to reproduce an OS press of the CD only

@_@ the japan version is so expensive, hehe mine would only be like $15 yay!

okok. thanks. will be waiting for ur news soon =)

my god over 300k sales in 2 days. go NAMIE. I think this album can stand the test of time.

OMG!!!, I bet it will it 500k before the end of the week...or at the end of the week.

Namie has risen from the ashes once again, those are INCREDIBLE sales! I mean, I know compilation albums tend to sell a bit better, but DAMN! Especially with physical sales on the decline. Even I, a casual Namie listener, am amazed and very proud of her~

now i can't believe she sold so much in just two days o__o;; it's higher than Play in first week?

^At least according to WikithePPN.
PLAY first week, thePPN quote:

amazing namie ;) She will hit 500k in no time!

^ yeah, it's amazing :) but i wish PLAY sold more, i like that album very much -.-
I hope the current sales won't after first week to fall down rapidly or smth... xP

^I wouldn't doubt it =/... But I'm hoping for a long chart life~

Also, I was pretty surprised. The 90's where really a different time, Concentration 20 broke a million in two days, didn't it?

and...

^^

wow..never knew her past albums sold so well..but now we're in an age of downloading *sighs*

HOLY CRAP. Her album sales are OUT OF CONTROL!!!!! I'm so juiced. Rock the charts, Amuro Namie. Beast it.

Lol, Namie is totally KILLING IT!!~~~!

The only album to do that is Hikki's Distance, which sold over 3 million in the first week :luv2

OMG @ "BEST FICTION"s sales! It's crazyyyyyyyy! :D

WTH is this album? XD

lol Delicious way is Mai Kuraki's album XD

scans of both editions of BEST FICTION - http://japan-roll.blogspot.com/2008/...ion-album.html

Hey guys, I found translations for the new interview that UH has in his blog:

I love Namie.

great... the booklet ONLY have one new photo in it, just like PLAY >_<

-_-"'

er I take it that Namie doesn't have a tendency to be kind when comes to her singles & albums booklets ?

Aww, that was a really cute interview!

ONLY ONE NEW PICTURE!!!
argh.

I know T_T

& oh thanks for posting the interview tanachu + UHPlus , I enjoyed reading it

Me too! I love to read Namie's interviews!

Awwh man :(
I was kinda' looking forward to some more gorgeous pictures in the booklet.
Darn you Namie!

I wonder if I'll get my copy today..
I hope I do >.<

CAN ANYONE HELP ME W/Z THIS PLEASEEE!
http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/...um_dfd3f03.jpg
(budonkadonk post at JPS again ~"~)

Looks like Namie will never ever get a proper booklet. >__>

....ah....the booklet is just....ah

oh well i saw namie's CM here in taiwan, it was videos playing in the big ring, like in the poster, it was really short

Today Namie went to DOUBLE's concert and sang BLACK DIAMOND with her *_*

I love Namie, but this is something I don't really like about her.
At least she doesn't take random hand-me-downs.

x->1->1->1 - Amuro Namie - 109,287 + 77,477 + 50,607 (x1.7) = 403,530

wooowww... wonderful.

Wow, 7 pages already :laugh
What is new? Please tell me.

your friend just went to pick up her CD+DVD and didn't get the rat tooth poster! hehe i got the CD+DVD cover poster

My CD+DVD must still arrive.
I'll hope it will arrive this week. So, are there 2 posters?

Oricon 2008

Singles:

10 *,292,564 ***,619 ６０s ７０s ８０s / 安室奈美恵 08/03/12

& oh just now MTV Taiwan played Do Me More as part of their J & K Pop weekday hourly show :D

^_^

Me too! It seems like the most talented people are often nonchalant and modest about their talent (as said in an old Namie interview, lol). Oh God she's too cute.

I can't currently but I will when someone uploads the avi file. =)

\i wanna see, i saw the pv when i was shopping in the night markets~...well guess i don't have to watch it on tv now, i have my own...and i really should start watching Sexy Girl, i heard its dancing is better than DMM, but BEST FICTION is selling well imo

dancing wise yes Sexy Girl's better , Jas

I thought VJ Ken would played it after Do Me More earlier on though but I was being too greedy haha

maybe he might do so during the weekend of the J & KPop chart ?

if not then next week during his show & oh I checked that the 9am timeslot's the encore of the previous night's 7pm timeslot .

The 7pm timeslot takes place live

^ i don't think Sexy Girl is even subbed yet...i only saw that Do Me More was subbed...but maybe like near 2-3 AM, MTV show weird PVs..maybe Sexy Girl will show?
ah! great...i just missed the encore too...grr...and i got 2 mags today, Cawaii and Popteen and in it is like 2 sentences about BEST FICTION..and a pic, w-inds got the biggest slot, no in CAWAII it got a whole big page ^^

Damn, this thing keeps selling so much. Good for Namie, she deserves it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Do Me More PV and seeing how "bad" it supposedly is like people keep saying. It's weird, I usually love all of Namie's PVs, but I was kinda "meh" about Sexy Girl. It did grow on me though! Anyway, from what I've seen, the DMM PV is trippy as ****. Who cares if it wasn't like the CM; that's not a valid reason at all to go labelling it as bad. I'm sure if you were a new Namie fan or didn't know what to expect you'd probably like it more. It's all about expectations.

dunno , I just hope Sexy Girl will be shown on MTV Taiwan soon & yes the OS presses for both editions are already out on sales in Taiwan

hope S'pore will follow suit soon

hehe..Thanks so much...
Even though My friend has just help me out already!, Thanks again !

Yey my CD came today ^.^

I LOVE THE POSTER.

I know Best Fiction got #! again, but what are her total sales now?

Which poster did you get?

It's right there for you to see :P

^LOL...my computer's loading slow cause I"m seeding an upload for JPS...I was hoping I would get the rat teeth one...but instead I got the same one you did, but twice cause I got both editions, so now I have one on the outside of my door and one in my room.

So, how many posters are there?

^I think there are only 2, the promo pic poster, and then the "rat teeth" poster...LOL...but I found a high liking to the "rat teeth" one.

What have been the Namie news in July? Magazine shoots, promo pics, album booklets leaked yet?

Looking back a few pages, it seems the sales will be amazing. It's incredible how she's become so popular again - with her great music in recent years, she deserves it.

As far as album booklets go...there's only one pic and it's the promo pic we got, and the rest is just her lyrics...depending on which version you got the lyrics color will correspond to it.

how the sales do? >>

^I checked back 2 pages and I think it said over 400k now, and her position is still #1!!!...YAY!

^ wow XD if she sales about 800k in first week she may hit a milion later *____*

I was so glad I didn't get that one.
I was unrolling the poster and praying it wasn't that XD

lmao but that one is awesome ;-;

^So true, I really wanted the promo pic and the rat teeth cause honestly the rat teeth is one of her best pics for BF!

AND SCRATCH what I said about only 2 posters I forgot UHPlus posted another pic of a different poster on his blog.

Those are all the posters available (I don't know who made the picture, my friend sent it, sorry)

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...postersse6.jpg

It made by Catslaughing@JPM

I have Tsutaya's one

x->1->1->1 - Amuro Namie - 109,287 + 77,477 + 50,607 (x1.7) = 403,530

550k for the first week. That's my prediction. 900k total.

random* I'm kind of over Do Me More and SEXY GIRL. My fave Namie song ATM is GO! GO! ~yume no hayasade~ I loveeeee DANCE TRACKS VOL.1 :heart Dancing Junk is great too..so cheesy :love

^Talk about cheesy...Don't Wanna Cry's pv...that bag was horrid!!!

Oh the 90's...
Every PV from Sweet 19 Blues was puuuure cheese :heart Yeah that bag was nasty but I found the video to be cute :yes

My fave look is that transparent jacket thing in the Chase the chance video...or Namie's hair in a walk in the park :tipsy I think her best video from that era was How to be a Girl.

Oh yes, I so agree with that. Her pigtails in the beginning were cute.

this has to be the HOTTEST QOHP pic I've EVER SEEN!!!

^oh my! i never saw that pic, where did you find it? :heart

its so hot! (its so fly~~) <-lyrics of NEW LOOK

She looks greasy as hale.

photobucket, there's a few pics from single shots we haven't seen, I think only 4 of them are pic we haven't seen, but the QOHP is my fave cause she looks HELLA HOTT!!!

Why the hell wasn't that used in the booklet? I recall they used a different pose in the booklet right? D:

Also, her sales are awesome. They won't beat HEART STATION though. D: I'm thinking around 700K-800K for final numbers. (judged on A BEST 2)

^I know right?!

CDJ's First Press for CD ONLY of BF is sold out.

That QOHP looks relly cool ;oo
those legs are wonderful <3

Is it too early to ask for pictures of the normal press editions of BF? Really wanna see how those look.

^Not really...I wonder where they are, cause all First Press on CDJapan is sold out for both editions so I'm sure someone here should have the regular ones.

omg...this is hot lol, looks like real sweat

and i never noticed that WANT ME, WANT ME's lyrics were so.....:lech

So those are posters that will be shipped (one of them).
They are lovely. I so want the Tower and the Seven Eleven one :yes

:laugh You never noticed? Well better late than never huh?

I really love the poster from mu-mo <3
I wish I'd ordered from there now XD

7-11...seriously..they have posters?
gr i just got the general,no maybe the Shinseido?

lol i was just watching my BEST FICTION DVD..with the lyrics..but i knew that WANT ME WANT ME...wasn't pg-13, just didn't know..that it was kinda rated R, lol, ALARM was kinda funny, kick my booty, i kept laughing when she said it..and didn't her outfit in Do Me More looked like ALARM?

and also..how did namie fit all of her hair for the mohawk looking hair in DMM

oh i saw the mu-mo poster when i went to pick up my CD...i should've ask the lady if i could buy it!

x->1->1->1->1 - Amuro Namie - 109,287 + 77,477 + 50,607 + 46,343 (x1.7) = 482,314

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Namie won female highest first week sales 2008

^OMG at those numbers.
That is amazing. Almost 500K in the first week. I really feel this album will sell more than 1 million copies.

^it will... soon or later

I want she can sell 600K in first week only

wow that's amazing stuff . I'm sure by tomorrow it can cross the 500K mark !

& MTV Taiwan was promoting BEST FICTION earlier on as part of their weekend J & Kpop chart show

they played a bit of Do Me More , was hoping to see Sexy Girl :(

Woo at those sales, ****ing awesome. BEST FICTION is the **** people!

BTW, where can I find the translated lyrics on WANT ME, WANT ME?

wooow..
that's great...

I think she'll get #1 in Taiwan. she has lots of fans there..

well the taiwan press of BF was released just yesterday so it's a bit too early to jump the shark

but I'm quite sure BF will do extremely well in Taiwan :yes

sounds like a great interview she is very cool :P
hope her sales keep up :)

i think so...

hmm with amazing sales, it would outsell HS maybe..
very cool, Namie

At least it will sell more than Genius 2000

lol, i think it'll sell a lot in the bigger cities like taipei, cause in yi-lan, rather small town..i saw a lot of left over BF poster...and also, a lot of GUILTY CD+DVD photobooks...but when will its rank appear on g-music?
