[Koda Kumi] It's TABOO to not talk about her in the 59th thread

[waterballoon]

@ Corvina: maybe it means that the new singers are getting more popular?

I'm still kind of upset over TABOO's sales... Oh well.

I think this week there're a lot of new artistes putting out new material Jun Xiang

that's probably the only reason I can think of

that + the financial crisis too

Yeah, maybe, but it's getting to fast if you ask me.
But well, Kuu got weekly #1, that's a good thing.

[do it again]

there's only 3 other releases above TABOO on the chart that have been released before today, and it's no big deal that their first day sales are higher than the ones that have been on the charts a week now.

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

everything pretty much says 10/15 for the release date

2. いつか イ・ビョンホン UMU 10/15 9008
3. 君と僕 リュ・シウォン TJC 10/15 6031

their first day sales really aren't that good...

[Lee^ChaN]

woot! what a drop?!
maybe because it's TABOO to buy the single

any updates bout her 2nd week sales??

Honestly people, can we stop using this as an excuse for sales. It's ridiculous.

Do I see other artists selling extremely well and at a steady rate? Yes I do. Why isn't this "Financial Crisis" affecting them? Kumi is not special, if she doesn't sell well it has nothing to do with the stupid "Financial Crisis".

[Princess Sohee]

^ Agreed. The crazy fans try to make excuses for everything.

[Re:★]

The single just wasn't majorly popular in Japan, that's all.

It's more exciting than getting #1 after #1. -cough-

[love in music]

does anyone else think kumi is looking more 'plump' lately? i miss when she didn't look so bulky..i liked how skinny she was in the Candy PV, and Cherry Girl

Yeah, I guess people in Japan simply didn't like the song, plus Ku isn't the poppiest female artist atm.

She was perfect in the Cherry Girl pv.
I remember when it first came out everyone was like at how much weight she lost. Then she got fat again.

Oh,the sales dropped...

WHY CAN'T I STOP LISTENING TO TABOO?!

haha Well said

[Ayumi27]

Huge drop today, but I guess it will recover haha

I hope the single mantains charting high, even though I don't like the song so much

[AyUta]

Sales are a disappointment, but nonetheless, the single was AMAZING I can't stop listening to TABOO! and ALWAYS

[freedreamer]

I CANT STOP EITHER!!! drats...lol

wads the total first week sales?

[do it again]

first week sales were 65,569K
it's really not that bad at all.

[Princess Sohee]

umm yah it is!

[Zeke.]

The sales make me mad for the reason that since this single didn't do well, she won't do more music like this. AND I LIKE IT! Lol.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^The first week sales are almost equal to that of BUT. =/ I think Taboo sold a few hundred units more than BUT. BUT was a success and although Taboo is in a bad charting position, the single is doing okay. I think overall, she'll prolly get 100k.
