Nishino Kana (西野カナ) the 11th thread ~ Love Place ~

[Minttulatte]

She's up against Kobukuro? I wonder if Kana's able to get #1 this time. ._.

Last night I began to think that since Kana has released 4 studio albums and 18 singles, there might be a best of album coming next.

I think so, too =)

I think it's time for her to release a best album with a hit single right before and then start new refreshing music.

They sold about 3x what she did on the first day, and theirs is a best album. She definitely won't be getting number one this time :|

Kobukuro's album is a best collection, didn't expect Love Place to do any better than them lol.. And she's far far from them anyways, doubt she'll be able to grab the #1 spot this time around :/

Too bad coz the album is quite good!

[Minttulatte]

I've never understood the popularity of Kobukuro tbh, but Japan seems to love them quite a lot. o.O

[mizuki-7]

If she release a Best album next year I expect a big succes ! maybe her first million album ? I don't know how to consider her popularity currently but I think she is able to achieve this performance!

[TeamAyu2004]

I dont know about the best.. her sales keep falling... so who knows.
too bad she got a number 2 today...

and no problem about the lyrics!
Ill see if I can find anymore!

I expected double what the album actually sold on the first day All her singles have been so successful in the digital charts this year.

[mizuki-7]

All her singles have been so successful in the digital charts this year.

Not so much ... Even she is one of the best digital artist she is not able to get a certification over 500 K since 2010 last year her best digital single was Distance with "only" 250 K and this year she has only one single certified (I believe) Sakura I love you with 100 K

Btw Be strong is her first song since long time to not top digital chart ...

I apologize in advance if i've say a folly about the certification

Thanks for the info I thought they sold more because Watashitachi and Sakura I I Love You were #3 and #4 in the half year full download rankings.

Watashitachi was certified Gold in June ^_^

^ it is great, I don't want her to drop

[Earth_maiden]

omg, that Chinese rap. I forgot it was there and had the music up loud, then it was just THERE for a second I thought there was someone in my room with me, even though I don't know anyone that speaks Chinese.

[Minttulatte]

Love Place is doing well on charts, just as I thought it would be. <3

I'm also very obsessed with SUMMER TIME now. I totally forgot to overplay this song when the single came out (=was too obsessed with Kuu) so I'm doing it now since I'm so obsessed with Kana after all. Awesome song indeed. <3

The version without the rap is in the downloads section

[bondingo]

That's one intense key change between the verses and the chorus. She pulls it off really well. I'm always pleasantly surprised by her live vocals. I cancelled my preorder of Love Place, but I'm considering ordering it again because the songs I've heard all seem to be better than I had expected.

[AyuGAME]

very strong performance, imo....Be Strong is not an easy song with such a very difficult dynamic...

[TeamAyu2004]

i really love that song!
