It just feels like an empty win if its done that way. MOON/blossom was a mediocre single that I've listened to once really good before scrapping it altogether. The sales I felt, were just. Then there's the complaint about no promotion. Hasn't this release been talked about for months now? Maybe a live performance would have hampered sales with a bad performance, maybe not. That miracle needs to happen for Namie, lol. I'm positive she can sell more than Ayu did if not, smells like a conspiracy. 
On a side note--I'm kinda tired of Johnny's groups by now. I haven't found one I like or that's worth the hype. |
Yup. I agree, but I'm sure avex cares more about their precious queen getting her streak than the artist who is currently more popular getting another random no. 1 : /
Also, about the boy bands, that's just the way it is! Best to ignore it! Take Lady Gaga, she's so awesome and people love her and if you say she's just another pop artist you get mauled and you're supposed to adore her, but honestly, I think it's just a hype and I don't like her music. Other people do like her though so I just ignore it and that works fine : P
