I don't think that's got anything to do with it. It's just natural progression. Her sales have always been dropping and this album has been released without any real hit and the previous single already dating from February. There was no momentum.

Besides, I love the album so I'm happy either way.

Oh I forgot she had a thread. I think LIFE didn't do as good because none of the singles were super strong (ANSWER had Tegami lol, that really helped ANSWER IMO).

The album itself is all right. I enjoy it. I love Unbreakable and What Are The Roses For? and Every Woman's Song and The Truth Is Like A Lie.

Has anyone else seen this on YesAsia? Apparently LIFE has been released in the United States...

Not it hasn't. YesAsia just screws up a lot. They listed Perfume's Triangle album as having a US release...and when the date came, nothing happened. They also listed a US version of BoA's Hurricane Venus and that never happened. Probably another mistake. Although if its actually true this time I might get it.

She's never really been the type to stay in the spotlight... it's like BAM single. Nothing for 6 months. BAM single. Nothing for 5 months. BAM album. Rinse and repeat XD

Didn't she have a concert at the end of last year? I'm sure I read that from somewhere.

I think LIFE is my favorite album of Angela's, I think Unbreakable and The Truth is Like a Lie are so beautiful. I hope she releases a new single soon.

How come she's always on Kouhaku though? I thought she didn't sell that well anymore these days..
Not complaining though, I prefer watching her perform over all those groups that can't sing live..

I could've understood it if she appeared in 2008 or 2009, what with Tegami and ANSWER being successes. But LIFE only sold like 50k, so yeah, her Kouhaku performance surprised me : /

Maybe she's especially popular with a particular viewer group they also need to cater to?

The song is great and the PV really beautiful. I love how the piano is split in 2.
And I think that with the short hair she reminds me of Tina Fey LOL

自身のセルフカバー、アンジェラにとっての“ 心の曲”としての洋楽・邦楽の名曲カバーも収录した“ 歌の力・音楽の力” を伝えるアルバム！ヒットｓｇ「始まりのバラード」、「津軽海峡冬景色」のカバー（初の本人出演による大型 タイアップＣＭも决定）など収录。
so it looks like it will be a cover album (western/Japanese/self covers)
