Also, I really wouldn't be surprised if 'Check Mate!' hit the 500k mark. Ever since 'Play' was released, Namie's music has been extremely successful once again.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that she has been able to dominate again the past few years like she did at the beginning of her career.
I also really love Fight Together which I wasn't expecting because it sounded like the typical mainstream J-Pop. I think that I tend to like almost anything Namie produces.

I was also thinking that it might be possible that Checkmate! would hit 500k. Initially, I was thinking that it was a bit too high, but seeing as how the album is consistently selling well, I think it might make it. It will probably take some time, but I think it just might make it before the end of the year.

It really is amazing to see Namie's career going so well. I've loved her through all the ups and downs. During the slump in her career I kept hoping and wishing that the rest of Japan would fall back in love with her and I'm glad to see that it has happened.

Yikes! A bunch of new albums so Checkmate got pushed down pretty far, but is still holding on at #7 for the day.

The next best album she does should be a self-cover best of ;P

Only joking. Partially... haha. I'd actually welcome a best like that haha.

Checkmate! moved up a spot to #6 for the day. I like that it's still in the top 10, but I hate that I can't keep track of the number of units sold since it's not in the top 3.

Woohoo! Yesterday Checkmate was at #6 and today it powered its way back up to #3! I love seeing that it's still doing well.

I absolutely totally agree with this! But the chances of hearing that at all in the near future seem very slim since she's been cutting the pre-STYLE songs from her tours for a while now =/

Namie's upcoming album will be her ninth studio album released under avex but tenth overall... I wonder which of those numbers avex will recognize it as and if the tenth, will they put monster promotion behind it when the time comes o_O?

I think my favourite part of the song is the ending where she repeats "life goes on". Sounds very cheerful

Nao'ymt is a genius, I usually love all of the work he's done with Namie, imo he really can't go wrong!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Fight Together won't have a PV.
