Also, I really wouldn't be surprised if 'Check Mate!' hit the 500k mark. Ever since 'Play' was released, Namie's music has been extremely successful once again.
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that she has been able to dominate again the past few years like she did at the beginning of her career.

I also really love Fight Together which I wasn't expecting because it sounded like the typical mainstream J-Pop. I think that I tend to like almost anything Namie produces.
I was also thinking that it might be possible that Checkmate! would hit 500k. Initially, I was thinking that it was a bit too high, but seeing as how the album is consistently selling well, I think it might make it. It will probably take some time, but I think it just might make it before the end of the year.
It really is amazing to see Namie's career going so well. I've loved her through all the ups and downs. During the slump in her career I kept hoping and wishing that the rest of Japan would fall back in love with her and I'm glad to see that it has happened.
