20 Oct 2004 Releases

[~K+]

Nah, I'm sure the first press will come with a jam sample, one of the Otsuka family's own recipe.

[BanFan]

*only 36-38 days until LOVE JAM first press CD+80 page picture book and LEGEND arrives*

[~K+]

You know, the more you think about it like that, the longer it will seem...

[BanFan]

But I can't! It's the only new music I get until X-mas! But then again, I get commonplace CD+DVD (Japan Version!), This armor, Namie's SO CRAZY Tour DVD, Nanase's 7 SEVEN (CD+DVD), Mika's LOVE Final and Chihiro Onitsuka's new single, with NEW WORLD, Many Pieces, Sugar high and Mika+Ayu's new albums if they have them 11 days after X-mas for my birthday. So I guess it is worth the wait after all..

And you can choose from 3 flavours too: cherry, strawberry or marmalade. Pretty nifty, eh. ^^;;

Mika must be dropping fast...or Ayu is rising high for some odd reason. And yes, Kou Shibasaki! Her popularity is immensely crazy! Ken too.

[luminaire]

At least Kou deserves it. Ayu and Ken somewhat, although I'd rather see Ayu higher - "CAROLS" was pretty amazing, and not only just because of the live instrumentation. =)

[Belinda]

6 of those we not that great, i'm a frigging d/ling maniac maybe in time i will, but i will say i was disappointed greatly by miyavi's single V_V; even the vids didnt impress me

CAROLS is a weird song. First time I listened to it I was amazed. A few days later I got naseous whenever I listened to the song. Recently I have been finding it amazing again. Weird ne?

CAROLS has become one of my favorite Ayu songs and PVs. It's so beautiful.

That's like me for Voyage, loved it, a month later, bored of it, a month or two later, loved it again. But in end it became so-so though.

It's the same for CAROLS, but I'm still only at the 'bored of it' stage...

[TeamAyu]

Kou Shibasaki's 'Katachi Arumono' is immensly popular because of it's tie in with a movie based on Japan's #1 Best Selling Romance Novel EVER and it's a very nice tune but really boring... which is Kou's speciality... dull ballads ^^;; but they really do grow on you like Tsuki no Shizuka which is also tied with a movie.. go figure.

And YAY FOR AYU! CAROLS was truly amazing so it deserves it's spot... poor Mika 'LEGEND' should have done much better since it's pure masterpiece. I guess she won't have a big hit this year like she did with 'Yuki no Hana', wonder if her album sales will suffer because of this...

[~K+]

Tokyo Jihen sold in the 70ks which is still pretty good and means they're likely to break 100k.

[luminaire]

At least Mika did way more decently than "SEVEN" and "hi no tori". You go, girl. =)

And if I were to be VERY nitpicky, Tokyo Jihen's previous defeat to Gorie was by only 20,000 copies, whereas this time they sold 110,000 less than ORANGE RANGE - 5 times the difference. =X
But still, good for Ringo. You go, Ringo-hime. =)

[~K+]

It's a bit past the 20th, but about Gackt's new single, the instrumentals are really worth listening, it's pretty.

[Mad_Cactuar]

I'm really sorry for bumping such an old thread but I was looking for Mika's LEGEND's first week sales. Can anyone provide me with it?
