^Agreed.
It'd be great to see her de-throne Kuu and get a number one.
Although that really can't happen now.

Nice position for PUZZLE/Revive. I like both of the songs a lot.

Mai Kuraki is awesome singer. I'm not sure if I like her older stuff more than newer songs but I got lots of love and respect for her anyway.

These are going to be her best sales in years, and yay for top 3! (Highest weekly chart position since 2004's Ashita e kakeru hashi, and best first week debut sales since 2006's Best of Hero. =D

^ You sure are good with your predictions, aurinko.

Anyways, here is the Oricon Top 50 albums of 2009:

32 *,*90,302 ***,554 touch Me！ / 倉木麻衣 09/01/21

I dunno if it can pass 100k or not. Hopefully it can, it seems so close.

Kaiouforever · #**187** 9th April 2009, 03:10 AM

I think it will be able to by the end of the year no problem. =]

She has too talented of a voice to be a H!P girl xD

PUZZLE/Revive came in at #16 for its second week with 5,531 copies, bringing its 2 week total to 34,976. I hope it can cross 40k soon!

rookies · #**196** 15th April 2009, 10:11 AM

^ Thanks for the update.

I am unsure about how "touch Me!" is doing on the charts right now, and in terms of sales, cus I can't find any info on stuff that is out of the Top 50. :/

rookies · #**197** 17th April 2009, 07:22 AM

Apparently, she has a new upcoming single titled "Beautiful", release date is June 10th.

Also, she will release a 2-disc BEST album on July 1st!

I haven't found any info on this at her official site yet, but people on JPM mentioned about it. See below:

Beautiful is a medium-tempo ballad.

The best album is a two-disc set, comprised of songs from her entire ten year career. Apparently the two discs each portray a different aspect of Kuraki's appeal.
