[JASMINE] The 5th thread ~ 1st mini album JASMINE2.0 (Now on sale)

[kakumei]

Album, "PURE LOVE BEST" now listed for 2014.09.17 release, two editions.

[Corvina]

Oh, interesting, something new!
Is this a Best album?
Or just a strange titel?

[Diva_br]

I don't want a best album 'cause she's on Sony and that means "Goodbye gurl" D:

[Gustavopc]

That title is so not-JASMINE tho imo... I'll wait and see before a judgement

[Diva_br]

Ah... maybe this release is for her 5th anniversary?

[NintendoHTF1242]

Oh I might buy that if it's a best album.

[orangeakira]

Damn it. It's most likely a best album which as Diva said, pretty much means they're going to release a greatest hits album and wipe their hands clean of her. I don't understand why she doesn't perform on tv or anything. Does it cost money? Do they not want her to?

[Chiharo]

Yeah, it's not a good sign that she is releasing a best album now. Seeing as she only has two albums, this might mean she maybe won't continue her discography. But I'm still hoping that she will, no matter what.

Agreed.

She already has fallen off the cliff...

[Diva_br]

Well... at least she got three very good albums in terms of quality, so I hope that if Sony drop her, she finds a new label.

But too many ideas, my mind just run around with this new release xD I really hope she continue in the industry ^^

I like her very much (not a fan of her last "EDM" album, but previous two albums are masterpieces!), but I think it will be very difficult for her to find a new label.
She doesn´t have that "star status" to attract other labels.
Even if she finds one, they will release one album (again with amazingly low sales) and drop her off, too.

[Corvina]

Hm, sales did drop a lot after her first album,yes. But they waited so long to release something different after Gold, it was kind of expected.
Also I don't really know if it's just about sales - Countdown and Welcome to Jas Vegas both charted in Top 60. She's pretty much tied with Ai Otsuka currently with sales and positions. Also there are singers, who have actual problems even to get to that nowadays (Anna Tsuchiya with her last mini e.g.). Though all of those are with avex. I don't know how harsh Sony is.

It would be sad, but she still can go indie if everything goes wrong.

^ Actually JASMINE shares the same fate as Matsushita Yuya in that he was under Sony + he was promoted a lot by them but the returns that were received by Sony were not as good as expected

As a result , he released his 1st best album relatively fast & I already sensed something wasn't right when that happened as he hasn't reached the 5th anniversary of him being in the business before he released his 1st best album

Now , anything/everything Matsushita released is under his own independent label + his releases are so far are now released digitally . JASMINE could go that route as well which's not a bad thing as frankly to me now everything Matsushita released after he left Sony has been great

That said , PURE LOVE BEST is already available for preorder via CDJapan + HMV Japan now

CDJapan's description on PURE LOVE BEST :

First greatest hits album from JASMINE includes "sad to say," "ONE" produced by Stargate," "HERO" produced by Taku Takahashi (m-flo), "Countdown," three new songs, and more for 11 tracks total.

So yup it's official that PURE LOVE BEST is JASMINE's 1st best album :x

[kakumei]

^ CD Japan translated that slightly wrong, it's 11 single tracks + 3 new tracks.

[maddy1111]

KarenPang: I agree with you, but Yuya is well-known in Japan as an drama/movie actor. Thanks to popular dramas, He has a great fandom that supports his digital releases. On the other side, Jasmine is "just" a singer. She would struggle even more with digital releases.

This month (June 2014) is actually Jasmine's 5th anniversary...
maybe she really is finished. If she really is finished after 2 studio albums, 1 mini album, and 11 singles, I might go back and actually collect the singles while she's still active.

Matsushita also does butai so outside of music he also does other things as well

I still feel that JASMINE should go independent after she release PURE LOVE BEST as she will have full control on what she wants and do not want to do

That said I'm not so keen to buy PURE LOVE BEST . I will just download the new songs and the limited edition does not include a dvd :-\

I still find it really odd they chose not to release/include a DVD for the limited aspect for PURE LOVE BEST , it would have made things more complete especially for those that didn't bought the CD + DVD's of GOLD + Complexxx

[Corvina]

I already own everything, but I'm gonna buy the limited edition anyway as I want to support her!
And I'm looking forward to the 3 new songs!
