She sang "Hatsukoi" live again, this time at TBS's Ongaku no Hi.

The choruses sound a little bit strained but man, this song is really hard to sing! I think she improved her vocals for real this time.

I think she sang better in NHK SONGS. She sounded a bit coarse during choruses in Ongaku no Hi. Anywayz, 3rd week 初恋 daily rankings @ oricon:

2018.07.09 - No. 1 - 4,257 copies
2018.07.10 - No. 6 - ?? copies
2018.07.11 - No. 1 - 7,490 copies
2018.07.12 - No. 2 - 2,215 copies
2018.07.13 - No. 2 - 2,211 copies
2018.07.14 - No. 1 - 2,708 copies
2018.07.15 - No. 1 - 4,962 copies

Est. total: ~23.8K (without July 10). So probably around 26 - 28K in the end. This would bring the total sales over 280K for three weeks.

my copy arrived yesterday, and I've spun it a few times.
It's a really good album. Subtle, beautiful and creative. The combo of Oozora de Dakishimete - Yuunagi - Shittosarerubeki Jinsei is just stunning, engrossing, hypnotic.

I'm not ready to read all the lyric translations yet. I just started going back and listening/reading along translations for Fantome. Michi just ruined my heart. -_-

Finally got my copy of the album on Tuesday and have been listening to it pretty much every day since then. So, thoughts:

Play A Love Song - Cute, catchy, nice little Hikki song with her R&B style. Not sure if the choir were necessary but I like the... (not sure what to call them) "sparkly/electronic" bits to the song.

Anata - Like this one too, the chorus gets stuck in my head.

Hatsukoi - Finally a song called First Love I can get behind! Great ballad and nice strings.

Forever More - Loving the chorus! One of my favourites from the album along with Chikai and Too Proud.

Chikai - I'm liking this more and more. Got to admit I was expecting a bit more of the ending of the song but I'm used to it now and I like the subtle change. Love the melody. Looking forward to the English version. It sounds very Kingdom Hearts-y.

Too Proud - This was another song at first where I was expecting a bit more after hearing about the beat but now I'm loving it! I'm always turning this one up load to hear all the different elements - the beat, spoken word bits etc.

Good Night - I thought this was a bit repetitive at first but am enjoying it now. I love the electric guitar.

Pakuchii no Uta - Not sure what to say about this song other than it brings a smile to my face.

Nokoriga - My least favourite song from the album. Nothing wrong with it but I don't find it very memorable. Think it needs some more listens.

Ozora de Dakishimete - The strings at the end are great!

Yunagi - Another one of my favourites from this album along with...

Shittosarerubeki Jinsei - It may just be my favourite from the album but hard to tell yet. I love these sort of ethereal songs from Hikaru (Sakura Drops and Passion are some of my favourite songs from her) I love the placement of this with Yunagi on the album as well.

This is a great album although not sure where I will rank it in my Top Hikaru albums yet but it could be pretty high. Sounds very Fantome which is a good thing but I need to give it a few more spins. She is also sounding great this album!!

I also got the Wild Life Blu-ray which I look forward to watching.

wow 305k! I heard she sold like 200k so I'm surprised to see 305k

I think she'll reach 350K and more when she starts touring

The documentary was really interesting... Loved seeing the process and how she struggled and in the end they still found a way... I could use so many words to describe it but I will keep it short. It really shows again how much of an artist she is! It was also nice to hear her talking in English :3

^found it nice too but she is such a weird person.... I find her neither charming nor nice. She is rather offputting in a way.
