thanks for the info!!
these are very good news I wanted to hear it.
I'm looking forward to the booklet too!!

Good... I hope it breaks 2 million.

Deji's pics are previews of CD booklets? Oh that's interesting, cause one of the pic did have her hugging a doll, right?

Wow..natural Ayumi..no wonder she named it MY STORY:) This is very good.. high expectations, but hey, no one can surpass Ayu in first day sales :evillaugh

This is cool. Wish Ayu the best ^^

WoW thanks for the bigs news, :thumbsup go ayu :yes

lol a less made up version can still be heavy on make up ... her face is all make up on this cover ...

Considering how much makeup she is wearing on the cover...I'd expect that to continue over into the booklet as well. I don't mind either way personally, but just saying...

Can you post a link to the article btw, I can't find it either.

That's interesting that the photos are of her daily life. It kind of reflects her first album, A Song for XX. That was sort of a-day-in-the-life-of-Hamasaki-Ayumi, while the other albums all had some sort of theme. Not suggesting a "final-album-evarrrr-omg-everybody-panic" deal, but it does seem to come full circle. Nothing wrong with twice around the ring, though. I can't wait to get my copy! I have a feeling I pre-ordered too late... **gulp**

I think it should become mandatory to post link(s) to the article(s) if they're good source(s).

FOUND IT! thanks to Unimax Prime's posting on other places.

I really hope her album sales will be good and this sounds very promising.

The booklet sounds reminiscient of the A Song For XX booklet. Sounds nice. :yes

unfortunately no T.T
from what i know boybands/solos is still very huge in japan...the latest Orange Range album
has bout 87,300,000(oricon) copies sold for the debut week..

i might be wrong but by the looks of it...
Orange Range will be another Smap single deal happened last year
