ikr? its so weird

[happiholic★]

Less than a month to go until her baby is born, yeah? Although, her baby will be born before Beach Mix comes out, so does that mean little promotion, or that her baby will sell her album?

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Maybe they have planned the baby's birth date with the recochoku release date for Whatchu Waitin On which in turn will help Beach Mix do ok which in turn will fuel hype for the comeback single in October.

[kaled kalil]

Probably that is what's going to happen... Since she can't promote at all, just the news about the baby will be enough for some hype.

[Princess_Of_Roses]

All I know is that she needs to hold on 19 days.. That will be my bday.. !

[Kouyou]

^That would be smart if she/her team planned the release to coincide with her giving birth. It will give the album a boost in sales.

[Zahara]

That's way too much of a coincidence, but I wouldn't put it past Avex for attempting that lol.

[Minttulatte]

Avex will do everything they can in order to help the Queen's sales get higher for Beach Mix, I'm sure.

I thought the same thing, I will bet august 1st is her labour term

[inthezone]

Well they need to do something. At this rate her next album won't even pass 100k which would be a shame

? I'm more concerned for that for Ayu than I am for Kuu seeing how JAPONESQUE did better than Party Queen.

[Minttulatte]

I'm sure Kuu's next album will easily pass 100k.

That applies to Ayu too lol

If we're being honest here tho I'm personally very optimistic when it comes to both of them. At the end of the year Kuu will have her big comeback single + Ayu will have a hit with the TOH2 theme song and release either a new album or single which will do well. I think good things are ahead for fans of both artists. Or at least I hope. lol

I hope you're right lol. They deserve much better

My fave off Japonesque. new song sounds good too. xxx

HATE HER HAIRCUT

[Ayu_Love]

JAPONESQUE did very well considering she never performed or had any visual promo! I bet it would have sold just as much as Dejavu if she had done some performances and could do more promo, like TV appearances.

I think the reason Party Queen only came at #2 is maybe because she chose a controversial concept and a genre (like electro and jazz) that isn't as popular in Japan at the moment? Party Queen is different from what she has done in the past, probably her most controversial album cover. But I love that Ayu will create music based on her feelings and will always do something bold, not just what sells.

I was really pleased with both (and they do deserve better), so I am really looking forward to what they'll bring out next.

It seems that someone is apologizing about the bad things it were said to Kumi back in 2008 because of her scandal, since she was right. (I'm not sure about the translation lol)

倖田先生は正しかったんだな。
倖田さんゴメンナサイ
倖田を叩いてたみんなはごめんなさいしないといけないよね
倖田は嫌いだったけど、あの発言だけは的を得ていたと思うよ
倖田來未もちゃんとこういったソースを出して中傷するべきだったな
