[luminaire]

No surprise there, she was bound to hit a million sooner or later, given her popularity in Japan. Congrats Hikki. =)

[Larisa-chan]

definitely not a surprise... lucky girl having Japan as your backup. Too bad tons of other artists trying to make it in the US don't have that "luxury"

[MsMiyabi]

good for her!

Yay!Go Hikki!Congratulations!

[Surreal]

Yah, but this album is for the US. Kind of sad for her US sales..=(.. Go hikki!

Duh.
Utada Hikaru in Japanese or English is good enough for the Japanese. But not for us
Did you guys know she's in the Guinness Book of World Records for most selling albums in the world?

LOL, that's not quite correct, I don't believe. It's more like the first person to have more than 3 consecutive albums sell more than 2 million copies, or something like that.

Artists like Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Alanis Morissette have sold more albums worldwide than Hikki has.

Oops, I mean that Utada's music isn't good enough for the rest of the stupid people in America. Of course, American music IS popular around the world, as for Japanese music, we're fans, but we're small as ants and people can't see us. Most of the people I know that listen to Asian music ARE Asians.. o_O

[ayuchanfan]

scary!

[Nu-NRG]

blah...if only this can happen in the US
and we're not surprised?

well what would be the point of promoting and promoting if her album wouldn't sell well? maybe just to stay on the safe side, they decided not to spend too much.

doe anyone know the total sales as of recently?

[alterego]

It's a shame that she is not close to reaching that point in the U.S., but anyways, congratulations to her on this success.

[Aldonia]

Ah, congrats. Too bad she's probably never gonna achieve that much in sales over here. << They didn't even try to promote her..
