HOT!
I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually kinda sad that Ku's sales have dropped. I really do take an interest in Koda Kumi and her music, but not in an obsessive manner (as I do Ayu, lol). It's quite shocking to see the sales drop that much and quite shocking to myself that I feel this way, lol. So if Ku is no longer #1... who is? Namie (*pukes*)?

WTF are you talking about? She's been more covered up in the last year than I've ever seen

[do it again]

i wouldn't say that i'm upset about her sales, but i was shocked when i saw it on oricon this morning. that was just a huge drop and unexpected for me. i'm hoping for better sales tomorrow, but i doubt it.

oh well, even if her sales suck, it doesn't mean that the quality of her music will go down with it. TABOO is the best thing she's released in a while, imo at least. she hops genres a lot, so i don't get bored with her music. what i fear is that since her sales are lower, avex will invest less money into her projects because she's not earning them as much, and we'll have even less new material from her.

we'll see.

I like the alternate version too but it was so RANDOM. They didn't even care to explain how Kuu suddenly went from dancing in the toilet stall to get'n pushed around by the lesbians in the room. Just random. XD I did like the "push up my boobs" scenes tho. It was funny to me because she must really luff her to show how big her boobs are to us.

I think that once her sales start to hit a certain low, they'll make her tour more since most of what she's making comes from her tours. IMO, yea, it's a shocker that her sales hit it low today but I think she'll still have decent sales for next few years.

[Melrose]

Maybe it's selling low because JP doesnt like gay themes? I dunno.

B-But I'm not even mad. I guess I just didn't get the joke I've had my blonde moment for today.

Oh yes! I guess since BUT was a gay theme that it didn't sell well and didn't do well digitally too.

Spoiler:

WTF is wrong with some of the ayu fans today?

Well, I think he was joking although I did kinda said to myself "WTF he was talking about?" too.

[Melrose]

^

BUT wasn't about male gayness tho. And it didnt get weekly #1 either.

[DOLCE]

The majority of Kuu's fans are female so if anything the male gayness would work better for her..seeing as things like yaoi are mostly bought by females.

[Melrose]

oh ok

Oh I didn't think of it that way! I guess I kinda always just took Ku's releases for granted in a way.

"Oh cool. Kumi's releasing something new!"

(after leak)

"Hm, it's alrite... Can't wait for the next release in 2 weeks."

Lol.

Yes, but you weren't basing it on her getting #1 weekly, you were basing it on it being "gay themed" (which the song or rather the video was about) and it selling low.

[Melrose]

..eh you lost me there
my point was that BUT didnt get #1 either and it had a gay theme too

but someone above already disproved my point

[Jwiz]

The calender pic looks great, and for the remix single, everything sounds nice except for When I TABOO Up (Koda Kumi vs. The Pussycat Dolls).

[Re:★]

Yet another #2 for Kumi. Usually I wouldn't give a ****, but this time what she shoveled out is actually quite amazing.

She must have so little casual fans nowadays, that 'scandal' really did a lot of damage. :/

I'm late, but that's expected of me anyway... D:

Kumi looks very sexy as a March.

Oh how impressive! He/she slapped an acapella onto an instrumental, that requires sooo much talent!

[Sundae]

That number is low but Prono Graffiti dropped by a lot too. The sales were 14,317 and dropped to 9019. So the top two dropped by a large margin.

[Re:★]

21 to 4 >>> 14 to 9.

Like, a 17k to 5k difference.
