Aaaaand how much success has BoA had these past four years in Japan? Yeah.

Promoting before a hiatus is usually gold- ayaka's best album case in point. When no promotion goes on before a hiatus you get Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 2.

Probably the rap on NML will be like in Ima suhu hoshii, not a raaap, but a bit fast break...

Thats what I was thinking and Ima Sugu Hoshii rap didn't work for me lol.
Also seems odd having a rap in a rock song like this.

And UHSCV2 went very well (as good as possible) without promotions. that's why I don't know why you guys are that worried about it. Kumi isn't a newcomer in the music industry, she has a solid name so, even thought Avex is not promoting it properly, It'll get good positions in the charts.

And yeah, I agree that BoA =/= Kumi, but the way you guys are referring to her, sounds like she 's one of these new crappy girlgroups coming from Korea. And with BoA having 4 different careers, it helps to get the attention dispersed from the fans, something that doesn't happen with Ayu ou Kumi since they just have one career.

I don't wanna download BBBoys because I don't wanna over play it. I want the full album to overplay all at once so it will "last longer".

Gosh, this release is shaping up to be absolutely amazing. She's gonna slay them ORICON charts.

probably because koda's sales have been steadily declining with each release, that's with her market tricks and usual heavy promotion :shrug

Her fanbase is large for Japan, but it isnt THAT large...I expect her to get top 5, but I think she'll barely cross the 200k mark for sales.

I guess it doesn't really matter. I think people are just disappointed because a lot of things are uncertain.

yah I don't get avex, Kuu is like in the top ten females soloist in Japan and they couldn't get her one CM, I am sure there are loads of companies who would have used her image and songs, I just think they are being lazy or maybe have their priorities elsewhere even though from the looks of it, they aren't really promoting anyone I know in Avex heavily safe like After School who are flops
on the Oricon, she is will be first when the album is released,no one else safe maybe Sonar Pocket are competition

BBB is amazing,I didn't like the bridge too much but the effects on her voice is great

I WANT IT IN HQ RIGHT NOW !!
