This album is going to be fucking huge, isn't it? Like much bigger than we actually anticipated... I wasn't expecting that level of promo for a new album.

Anyone want to throw out a guess as to first week sales? I honestly want to say it's going to be a surprising number.

Edit: I just finished listening to the entire album, beginning to end. It may take a bit to grow on me. For now, I think Miliyah Kato still takes the trophy for J-Pop album of the year with LIBERTY. Fantome is beautiful, but it doesn't feel alive to me. And before you point out the irony of me complaining that an album called Ghost doesn't feel "alive", it's simply missing a vibrant side to balance out the subdued tone of the album.
