She ordered from YesAsia.

It's Namie's year~

Woah, I wonder if I'm the only one completely shocked by Namie's sales for the first week of Best Fiction;681,187...I wasn't expecting that at all. Go Namie!

Yeah, Namie really is doing awesome this year. Well, last year was pretty great also, but her popularity just seems to be building. I really hope BEST FICTION breaks a million.

I was

I know that BF will sell well but I didn't expect that it has done even better than what I thought it will be

Exactly what I was thinking I was just searching and BAM! I was like o_O.......NAMIE??? OUR NAMIE??? ....hmm....now I really wonder,.....how will Ayu's single collection do, since Ayu just had her two best albums and Namie hasn't released a Best of Collection before. Now it's Namie VS. Ayu (well not really, I hope Ayu will do just as well as Namie, and if she doesn't..........^^ we still love you Ayu!)

eh actually Namie did released 2 best albums before

BEST FICTION's her 1st one in 6 years

yes but the first was a singles collection and the 2nd one was mostly songs re-sung, like a self cover album.

How is a singles collection not a best? O_O

"singles collection" is like the definition of "Best album" in Japan o_O 181920 was totally a best

681,187 COPIES IN THE FIRST WEEK?!?!?!?!! YESSSSSSSSSS

So how much did she sell for Mon?...and I'm not in shock, but I do know that within the next 2 weeks she WILL break 1 Million, and I'm immensely happy for her!!!

^
1->1 - Amuro Namie - 20,035 (x1.7) = 34,060

^Thanks!, How much do artists on avex usually sell daily...is was Namie sold good for a week, usually I think Weekend sales are better than a weekday.

oh yeah~
 

I love the part where she's all cross-eyed. :mischief That was genius.

Yes.

When will we get the next update of the total sales?


EDIT: OMG! BEST FICTION JUST ARRIVED + THE POSTER! *busy with unpacking*
EDIT II: The digipack is awesome. And I got the general poster (I prayed hard "please not the head, please not the head"). I'm busy with hanging the poster on my wall right now :D I'm soooo happy.

I feel Happie for u too !Hehe! Mine hasnt arrived yet!:D
and today sale is 27272 which make the total sale now is 761 421 copies
We have a sign of Million salin' now! Hehe! Maybe this week!

Okay, so the total sales on this moment of BEST FICTION is 761 421 copies?

:shimmy Go Namie. It feels quite awesome to see such high number and to know you own one of those.
And hanging up a poster isn't really easy. -_-''

^congrat kristel! i'm happy for you too...

the local store hasnt ithe copy yet...

and yes! maybe this week she will pass one million!

wooo... 1 million for sure

23　--　***,881　121,370　23　NAMIE AMURO PLAY TOUR 2007 / 安室奈美恵

In the CD there was this little "card" with information about BEST FICTION (I think) and about "namie amuro BEST tour 2008~2009" and that the first date is scheduled for 25 October and the final for 20 March 2009.

I dunno if this is old news. But that's what the card says :shrug
So if it's wrong, blame the card.

So...
Monday - around 20000
Tuesday - 27272

hmmn.. let's assume the index for the upcoming days will be something like this:

Wed - 25000
Thur - 18000
Fri - 15000
Sat - 25000
Sun - 25000
(my safe lowest guess)

So I predict BEST FICTION should have at least 260K copies sold this week.. And I guess namie will become a million seller on week 3 then :D.

Maybe a weird question but, what color eyes does Namie have exactly?
I always thought brown but now I'm not so sure.

^ that I'm not sure sorry Kris

ALBUMS
1->1 - Amuro Namie - 20,035 (x1.7) + 27,272 (x1.7) = 80,422
x->2 - kusuo - 6,492 (x1.7) = 11,036
x->3 - Kazuyoshi Saito - 5,250 (x1.7) = 8,925

there's possibly that she might remain at no.1 again ? that will be sweet !

brown and black is common in asia, but i think she has a little bit brown... but i'm not sure though...

her CSCEIS contact lens isnt bad for her too^^

Yeah, because in Put 'Em Up she seems to have brown/black eyes but in DMM and in some mag scans I've seen it looks like she has somewhat grey-ish eyes.

^i guess she likes to wear coloured contact lens...

whatever, at least she looks pretty, really pretty

You can't really have black eyes...

^I guess he means very dark brown. :)

wooow probably she'll get #1 for 2 weeks.
it would be better she could get #1 for 4 weeks like black cherry

Oh my god. I just saw the number. 681187.
That's just...
I have no words.

Here is my BEST FICTION poster which my mum framed for me. I think it looks really cool with the surrounding black border. =P

Mike you lucky bastard :eviltongu

the poster looks great being framed up on your bedroom wall

Oooh, I love your poster! I am so jealous of you! :eviltongu

Like I said before, these things look Perfect together, the Poster n the Frame!Hehe! It's look like a frame in the CD shop promotin' Namie's new CD!
Yor mom is so cool, Mike!:D

ah! i want to get mine framed!!!
oo i got ViVi september issue yesterday, namie's so pretty, she watches Last Friend too, lol and she like muscle man(hehe), now i just need to buy the cawaii issue

She's watches Last Friends? Good taste. :)

she watches them on time too, watch "ROOKIES, and "Puzzle" too, and she play Wii, she can't swim, but she's planning on buying a swimsuit for the summer, full body and bikini, bikini is simple black, and the full body have flower patterns, brought it to go to the beach or the swimming pool, she was very happy to go to Disney, and she met the disney characters, she kept taking pictures, and and after seeing them, she's full of smiles in them and that Disney is really fun, she was happy to see Cyril(a magician in Japan) magic show, he's the host at the MTV japan 2008 awards
i think she plays racket ball or ping-pong with her agent

she really likes muscles, she like those that are not too muscly, but have abs, she like tight muscles
she's happy for a-nation, but since the weather is hot, she must get her body into shape, so she doesn't pass out

^Wow, Namie sounds so ... normal.
I love her even more now :laugh

My sentiments EXACTLY. :luv2

LOL behind all these images and stuff those divas are just normal like all of us. :laugh
I love them!

Now besides ayu's Nintendo DS I want namie's Wii too!

So Ayu has a Nintendo DS and Namie a Wii?
They are so cool (all four of them :yes)

^Yeah didn't you see her photos a year ago from Hong Kong Distance Love PV shootings? Her DS looks delicious and I want to play that :love

I wonder how Namie's Wii looks. As much as she's normal it must have a lot of add-ons :laugh

You mean the thing she typed on and then gave to Shawn in the PV?

I think it looks just like othe Wii's. White?
I wonder what kind of Wii games she has. Wii Sports maybe?

Wow, she has grate taste! Last Friends is the best dorama of the year!

that was a DS, i thought it was a translator, well ayu played wii on a show
but namie sounds like your average teenager lol, she like her muscle man, i think namie is still so young~she'll never grow old

No there was a DejiDeji issue with shots from Hong Kong with ayu and some of ayu's gadgets, ayu's digital camera, ayu's cellphone and ayu's Nintendo DS XD.


Of course it's a white Wii but go figure if she put some cool decorations on that lol.

Does anyone know where I can get BEST FICTION 7-11 version...???

DDD means where can he get the album that comes with that namie 7/11 (in japan) poster, lol. :P everyone loves that poster so much.

....seriously? :rolleyes

Thank you! I actually found one on Yahoo! Auctions. :D

new mag covers

Ooo, I love those, can't wait till we get HQ scans.~! =D

Oooooooooooooooooh! That's soooo cute. :heart Namie looks so beautiful. I had no idea Namie had a small mole on her upper lip. I really luv the color theme they went with in this shoot. It's just luvly.

Are the rest of the scans available form the book? DDDD:

^OMG!, I love her moles, they're like so sexy!, and the booklet only had the promo pic and the rest were just lyrics.

OMG THE COVERS ARE SO PRETTY!

Wow, she looks amazing o_o I really like the cover :yes I need to pick up a copy before they sell out here in Japantown :laugh

Where did that mole come from? :shrug

^ The mole is located above her lips.

^I mean I've never noticed it before :laugh

^Yea...I was kinda surprised. lol I've never seen a mole on Namie. I guess since its so small, u barely notice it. I mean, I can't see it on her WMWM CD+DVD cover. It seems that her make-up artist darken it a lil so that it could be seen.

^Yeah, a lot of people cover theirs up... hers is really kawaii though, she should totally rock it!

OMG. Thank yuuuuuuu~

ROFL OMG I SO TOTALLY GUESSED THAT SHE PLAYS WII! It only makes sense since she has a Nintendo DS~

OMG. How did I KNOW she couldn't swim? Probably because of those amuro namie world clips and the live Style tour in Okinawa... she did not want to be pushed in the water. <3

:lech !

Huh Namie can't swim o_o? but she's from Okinawa..also I watched this old making of for her photobook (it was called Namies home video or something) and she got pushed into a pool...I think. (need to find that clip again...)

Namie Amuro World ^^ Yeah it's funny that she can't swim lol

OMG I remember watching that like 2 years ago... someone please find it for me.

^ HEREEEE ;)

re-uploaded by ME

^Thanks but, why did you re-upload them?
they are still available at NNN right?

^ i asked his permission to post here

1->1->1 - Amuro Namie - 20,035 + 27,272 + 25,095 (x1.7) = 123,084

wooooww....

That you so much, riozz! I can't see most of the pictures at NNN [blogger's image servers are not acting cool], so this is a real life-saver for me!

Glamorous Magazine has a Double Namie Cover ^^ In the behind of the Magazine there is a big BEST FICTION cover =)

wow that's great that she's still hanging in there at no.1

you're welcome and thanks for NNN

10 *,293,097 ***,533 ６０s ７０s ８０s / 安室奈美恵 08/03/12

60s70s80s pushed out from top 10 single 2008

Except for aoyama's single there are no more female singles on top 10 :(

unfortunately but true

provided a miracle will be showered upon my other fave female solo acts's future single releases , then I don't see anymore female selling power when comes to singles & that they will be further dominated by more single releases coming from JE

good to know that she's still in the first today^^. although i really dont want, but may i ask, when usually the album sales start to drop (for a legendary artist like namie)? and i found this thread is going to end soon, and it was just made few days ago, i think we need to control our post guys

What are the total sales for BF?

804,269 copies in 9 days =)

does anyone mind if i go ahead and make the new thread????

:)

so it's ready when this one quickly hits 500 posts?

^ go ahead

I love the new thread title that you came up anyway :cool so good job

Make it good if you're going to insist.

OMG! 800,000 copies in 9 days :thud
BF is soooo gonna pass the 1 million.

it has been a while since I last saw such great steady sales coming from a female act if you ask me

that much? ;oo
go namie <3
