So wait. I had no idea that was Crystal Kay during the end Credits of "Fullmetal Alchemist" in "Motherland". Wow. That's big.

Did that ever translate over into sales. Should have helped her bunches.

^ I believe it was one of her more successful singles. Or at least, one of her more... listened to songs?

I think it was used as the lead in for her CK5 best album as well.
http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/...ing/cd_single/

It's her 5th best selling single? haha

Anyway, I watched the What We Do video and the video totally changed what I thought the meaning of the song was lol. I thought it was about her cheating on her boyfriend who doesn't appreciate her, and what have you. I suppose it still has that meaning. They just made the video more of a girl power kinda thing haha.

Yeah especially back in 2007 she was pretty relevant, her album reached #1.

VIVID Tour starts soon. Wish I could attend!!

Saw her latest album as a recommended release on JPOPSUKI and downloaded. Really great stuff! Very "American" styled but I don't mind it with this release. My favorite is "Take It Outside" - great production!

Sales are so depressing though! Seems they really tried with this release, being the first on a new label. But... something didn't work for whatever reason. Just angers me that crap like Namie's latest sells so much and then this gem is over-looked. Of course there are some snoozers and it's a different style but the good stuff on here is really great.

^I was seriously mortified by the sales! My favorites are What We Do, Come Back To Me, FOREVER, Delicious Friday, and Memory Box.

She deserved the best. Album is amazing. I LOVE Forever, Take It Outside, Come Back To Me (this would do so good in America), Superman, and Memory Box.

Unfortunately for her, the American sound isn't whats selling right now.

It's the idol sound and look.

Had this been released earlier in her career it would have probably gotten much more attention. But everyone is more concentrated on idol stuff.

I mean... Remember when m-flo was actually popular? Ahh, I'm -so- glad that I could experience the early 2000's Jpop scene. Of course idol groups were still popular, but there was more of a balance. Now it's completely skewed.

She sounds so good! <3

The new song sounds very nice. I hope she will release some new solo material soon too!

I've been having many Crystal days recently. Her music has really struck me. It's weird, some time ago I really couldn't get into her at all - something about her voice and songs etc. rubbed me the wrong way. But VIVID really changed that. That album really has the power to convert people into fans. I've been really falling for her music since then and I'm happy that's happened. So much to love. Currently discovering Call me Miss...'s gems. (Sorry about the random fan story, had to get that off my mind.)

I don't get why CK doesn't give up on Japan and come to North America and try to break in over here....
Japan obviously doesn't care that much for her anymore. Time for a fresh start and such. I'd be here for her.

Edit: oh yeah, i forgot to compliment her voice. Still love it, it's great!

I can't wait for the full version of FANTASTIC JOURNEY. I love everything about the song so far.

Sidenote, wasn't Crystal's VIVID live recording broadcasted a few days ago? I wonder if anyone's managed to record it...
