As for MOON sales talk, are u guys positive that MOON is doing terrible in sales or is that what u call terrible by ur standards? =/ IMO, MOON is doing great. Almost 100k in it's first week = great! I passed my expectations. I thought it was going to sell like Anytime. =/

*nods head* at least MOON wouldn't stay on the chart like what 2 weeks . Look at what happened to anytime

I think so too

The level of the effects of the scandal is debatable but it has affected her sales. Plus 4 Hot Wave was released during what was really Kumi's time to shine [new singles after the explosive BEST ~ss~]. Plus 4 Hot Wave had the whole 4 PV storyline thing going for it.

*nods head* at what you said

unlike MOON , 4 hot wave sets the standard for Koda . All the 4 songs on the single are great , the PVs have substances & at least it has a nice storyline going on in it

XD Everyone hates the encore outfit. I'm fine with it :\

[KarenPang]

wow look at what I find in Yahoo Japan Auctions :



this was taken 7 years ago from Oricon Weekly magazine , the issue was dated 28th May '01 .

hard to believe that was her back then :O

[Beauty4123]

today's sales:

x->2->3->2->2->2->2 - Koda Kumi - 23,833 + 8,590 + 4,080 + 3,453 + 2,928 + 7,269 (x1.75) = 87,768

[ayumisrael]

No 100,000 for first week but the sales themselves are still good.

[AyuGAME]

i thought moon can sales a lot...but i was wrong, looks like her scandal really affecting her sales and popularity...

[TITANIC]

eeww it's quite low.. hopefully overalll sales can reach 150K

I agree with you.
So, why those yoga moves? To get the "That Ain't Cool" feeling?

Sooooo:

1. Namie Amuro
2. Koda Kumi

0.o Wow, I'm sure it must be shock to be Kumi and see yourself in that outfit...

I agree, she looks aweful.

that's just too weird~
even if kumi's style NOW is ok
I still prefer ayu's style!~

agree with you on this one Minna , it will take a while for Koda to develop a style of her own with minimal fashion disasters on hand .

In fact I'm not really convinced that Koda's a trendsetter as of yet . She will need quite a lot of time to develop in the style department

[AyuHamasaki01]

I also think it's very weird Kuu is in front of Ayu .... 0.o
Though I love Kuu I think Ayu's style is 10 times better than Kuu's (personal opinion)

[minna]

I agree with both of you there!
Ayu has her style (which I deeply love)
kuu, I think she's still searching for it...


well it was in 2001 uh? XD at that time...uhm yeah it was in
but I said IT WAS XDDDD

you can definitely tell the way that ayumi & koda dressed are SO different from each other .

ayumi tend to maintain a certain amount of decency in the outfits that she wears & doesn't really borderline on the sleazy factor which doesn't happen for Koda's case during the whole ero kawaii era .

let's hope that after the scandal , Koda will place more emphasis to dress funky but yet fun/easy on the eyes

[minna]

yes I agree


well I think it started well with her new style
I think she gives a more grown-up image but sexy at the same time
but not over sexy // not ero kawaii // just sexy -ok-

[AyuHamasaki01]

I like this colorful Kuu style (as I mentioned before) but still I like Ayu's style more. I think that Ayu's style is a bit more grown up and this colorful/playful style Kuu has now, I don't know, I like it but it gives a kind of childish feeling.

[minna]

yeah I prefer ayu's style too
but still kumi looks more grown up right now

that over kawaii style she had before the scandal
I couldn't stand it anymore~~~
anytime PV killed me on that...XD

[KarenPang]

lol how can the anytime PV killed you on that Minna ?

is it because of that bunny suit she wore ?

[AyuHamasaki01]

@ minna: Yes, that is true, but I still think it's kinda childish. Well, maybe childish isn't really the right word... maybe playful?
@ karen-chan: The anytime PV was awefully kawaii though, it made me feel like a man XD

OT: Look what I put in my MSN name: ☆★☆Kristel☆★☆ | Oricon Style Poll: 1. Namie, 2. Kumi, 3. Ayu... WTF?
