I can't see kumi's sales rise again without a drastic move (if there is such a possibility at all). She might be really popular but if most or a lot of her fanbase doesn't support her and just like her so what does it worth? She doesn't get paid and I don't think she will be happy with people only downloading her songs or just like her being sexy... She would like her fans to love her songs and singing and if they do so to support her, that's what I meant, I never said she is not really popular ^_^.
Her next single with the 4 songs might sell really well (because all of the marketing inside) but such a single can't measure the full point... Like if a single with just two songs of kumi now would sell 400,000 or 350,000 or more so her sales would go up, but if her 4 songs next single will sell like that I think it will be just decent sales more than going up in sales... (Looking at the state now), it's just an example though. 4 hot wave almost sold 400,000 copies so which means that to go up in sales (if the so called peak isn't over yet and as you say she just goes up) so it needs to sell more than what 4 hot wave sold if you get what I mean, but yeah even without kumi's sales as they used to be it doesn't mean kumi is not really popular ^_^.

i mean as i said...her fans in japan is growing very fast now so it is very possible that her albums or a few of them in the next few years will still hit the million mark~and people in japan won't get bored with her music and her look so soon~the kuu we see now is just like ayu in M era~didn't some of ayu's albums or most of them after M still hit the million mark?
