LOL it can't possibly sell another 500+ k copies, let's get real here, there are new releases that can't sell as much, almost 9 year old album certainly won't.

[kang daesung]

^ Yeah, if it went at this rate it would take like 1,000 weeks anyway.

[kawaii otaku]

unless EMI pulled an Avex and made all their employees but 100 copies each ..

hehehe ...

[jbrat2219]

^ hahahahaa xD;

That would be hilarious if it were true!

"Okay everyone! We need to pull an Avex here! If their employees had to buy 100 copies to get Mirrorcle World to top the charts, we need to do the same for a 9 year old album! LET'S MOVE PEOPLE, get those wallets ready!"

[ayumisrael]

^Just that it never happened and the sales rose up because of the sudden promotion at the middle of the week and gifting at the tour dates

So it shouldn't be called to pull an avex because avex didn't send anyone to buy their own copies and lose their own money .

Well I think that HS will sell over a million in 5-7 weeks since it sells less than 1000 and go figure how it will do next week or after (maybe 600 then 800 then 400 and then 990) or something like that. The oricon year of 2008 will end before it will sell million though (in 2 or 3 weeks)...

[AyUta]

Haha, I think it's amazing that it began charting again, I didn't think it would, honestly, especially at the sales it's going for one week. Good for you Hikki!

[omably]

^Yeah, who knows perhaps ULTRA BLUE might start charting again and reach the million also? I wish...

Oh and it's only a 7 year old album

[Melon Panda]

Maybe all her albums will chart again. Who knows? Lots of unexpected things have happened this year, sales-wise.

[Kaiouforever]

Her old albums can't chart again and sell THAT much..but it's very possible that they can chart again and sell a couple hundred copies.

There's only one situation that a singer's albums suddenly being sold dramatically after they have been released for a long long time --> if that artists suddenly passes away (knock knock.. touch wood).
So I do not really wanna see Distance breaking 5 million copies.

I dun mind HS and/or UB passing million copies tho. I mean, UB was just released two years ago or so and it was only about 90K short of passing a million copies. If let's say there's a song being used as a drama theme and the drama became a SUPER huge hit, then UB could be getting 90K extra copies in the end.

Meanwhile, I dun think there will be +500K people buying Distance even the drama's rating breaks into 30% in the end. Rather they will just purchase Eternally mp3.

Heart Station really needs to pass the milion mark -.-

Yeah, preferably by the end of the year but for some reason, Japan doesn't seem to want that to happen. Fickle Japanese Fans and their Downloading. Pfft. ( '-')

Download some Bands or some FICTION, not my Utada.

Great Idea just came to me. I'm a genius!

Yasutaka Nakata + Utada Hikaru = Better Happen!

[Beauty4123]

i can't picture utada and nakata but i'm sure it'd sound really.....different?

now that you mention it, i'd REALLY love to hear that collaboration, lol.

[Akutenshi]

OMG her voice could be so sexy vocoded.

Everything about this post is just wrong. Japan doesn't want to it happen? Huh? Where is the logic in this?

Also, Nakata is so played out, I don't want him anywhere near Hikki. He's totally running out of ideas and his MEG/Perfume/Ami Suzuki stuff is all starting to run together.

Oh my gosh yes, and I would still want Utada to be heavily involved in it, but have Yasutaka Nakata come in and put the finishing touches on it at the end.

There is no logic. It's called, "Not taking everything so seriously" and "being so argumentative".

Cheers.

[AyUta]

Ah! U.BLOG is down guys!

[CoriKaru]

Yeah, I realized that as well earlier today. For some reason, I'm not all that concerned about it. If it remains this way for a couple more days then I'll start worrying.
