Yeah, i saw the Billboard Live Tokyo "Album Release Commemoration Live"
But somehow i'm not satisfied with "you're so beautiful" performance..
i don't like her voice there..
I love the first performance in Minna 20 toshi datta..

[kirei_ayumi]

I really like 'love is over', smooth, jazzy feel
you're so beautiful went pretty well...

[LacusClyne]

does anyone knows whether had mumo started preorder for the taiwan dvd? i can't find it....under the FC shop too

[Kingdom]

I think I want/am probably going to get Koi no Tsubomi & moon crying posters! possibly physical thing

[KarenPang]

lol I have no more wall space in my room to put up even more posters D:

but those looked really good

[Polyrhythm]

The poster thing is a bit bizarre. It's like....why all of a sudden? None the less...I want the Koi no Tsubomi one! In my opinion Kumi is most attractive here...so natural and pretty...MOON has a gorgeous poster too...
Looks like people are going to take a second look at Kimura Kaela now huh? She's really giving Kumi a fierce fight.

[Kingdom]

i won't take a second look. my poor eyes can't take it! jk

the poster thing is probably part of this avex-wants-anniversary-money thing.

if anyone realise these huge posters are ONLY for the first week, i think Avex really want kuu to get number 1 in the week, can can't afford to lose to Kaele

Preview of Koda Kumi x Orianthi Panagaris (MJ's guitarist) at Music Fair:
(only the first seconds =P)

Ningyo Hime!!!

[Minttulatte]

You're So Beautiful PV looks pretty. It reminds me of Aishou and Gentle Words PVs.

First week
Day 3
#2 23,899

Total 3 day sales: 76,056 + 45,350 + 23,899 = 145,305

Kimura Kaela's total sales so far: 135,395
The difference is around 9,900

[Minttulatte]

I don't think the sales are that bad so far.

[Tony G]

Don't like the album much. She does trampy electro/rnb beat songs the best, and there is hardly any here besides for Physical Thing (which is good) and ECSTACY and UNIVERSE (which are average). Doesn't have strong singles to drive it. Some good album tracks (Work it Out, No Way) but a lot of medicore "cute" (nothing as good as JUST THE WAY YOU ARE) or ballad tracks (don't like any of her ballads, they all suck). Trick was so much better, on another level completly.

The whole album just sounds so uninspired. I guess she was aiming for the slow/mid-tempo R&B sound on this album, but it doesn't suit her. Especially when 2/3rds of the album follows that similar formula.

I'd give it a 3 or 4 out of 10, purely for Physical Thing/Work it Out/No Way being decent songs, and step into my world, ecstacy and universe being listenable. Easily the worst album of hers that I have heard.

i'm not really worried with the sales now..
but more to the #1 chart..
the difference is gettin' closer

[Twinkle !]

^ Yeah

[freedreamer]

I cant believe a BEST and New AL will perform like this actually. but really, if people were fans since that era, they really wouldn't care for the Best album. so the 8th AL is not sold sperately?

nope it's not

avex force you to get both albums in 1 package so whether you like the BEST album that's being included in or not , bo pian

[waterballoon]

Yeah I'm really surprised that a BEST (Japanese EAT this all right), and a studio album would do like that. Moreover it's a 10th anniversary BEST, so... I really don't know. I hope this is just a sign of declining CD sales and not declining Kuu popularity...
