I like Sweet 19 Blues about the same amount as Concentration 20. They are both pretty different, and very good. I love the fact that Sweet 19 blues has a lot of instrumental tracks, but has plenty of regular tracks as well. It had a bit of a messy composition, but that makes it more adoring for me. I love the industrial and experimental feel of Concentration 20, and I like the fact that it has some sweet, easy tracks as well as hardcore ones (lol)

I downloaded all of her albums but I haven't listened to them yet

i'm glad, really good sales

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it *haha*

I'm getting Checkmate with Driving Hit's 3 next week.
Finally I will listen to both albums tracks*-*

Namie is nominated at MTV VIDEO MUSIC AID JAPAN... Break It nominated for Best Video of the Year & FAKE nominated for Best Collaboration Video... :)

Awesome sales for Checkmate! She's so gonna be #1 <3

She's so gonna win those awards <3

Thanks for posting.
I really like the song :yes

^
So do I! :love

i transferred the cd-ripped checkmate! to my iphone 4 and the default volume of the album is so soft?!?!? i dun understand?!?!

Third day sales: 31,280 #1 ^.^

^Holy mother it's gonna sell closer to 200,000 copies first week. o.o

It's my first time listening to this song and I quite like it! Refreshing track from Namie's latest releases.

Yeah, same here... I replaced the ROCK U I used to have from the ravex album with this one, and I had to put the volume all the way up to decently hear the checkmate! version.

I'm glad that Namie is nominated for awards, but shouldn't the best collaboration for FAKE go to AI? Isn't FAKE AI's song?

Checkmate! 93,168 + 48,489 + 31,280 = 172,937:love

Yup, and it features Namie... :yes

I had that problem too :( its really annoying cos i have to remember to turn it down just as the song ends so I dont end up bursting my eardrums as the next song comes on :thud

Jesus!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome sales!
