Nishino Kana's "to LOVE" was best album of the year 2010...*and it sold more than Love songs !

NintendoHTF1242 · #**146** 6th July 2011, 10:02 PM

Thank you, Love sold better because
A.) Kana is big right now
B.) All of Kana's albums are better than Love songs lol

She's gonna be the next queen of J-Pop. Move over Kuu, Namie, and Ayu.

**ayumisrael** · #**147** 6th July 2011, 10:02 PM

Love songs wasn't even nominated as ayu doesn't take awards since 2004.
But yeah kana's album is more popular than anyone from the other nominees anyway.

Kana's too generic to be queen of anything in my opinion. Her songs don't stand out to me.

NintendoHTF1242 · #**149** 6th July 2011, 10:10 PM

So generic that her sophomore album sold like, 600,000+ copies and reached the Top 5 album charts of the year? Though we can't measure her success on just that. I just know Kana will be here to stay for a while. But she's the queen in my mind ;D

jbrat2219 · #**150** 6th July 2011, 10:13 PM

If she stays she stays, makes no difference to me. I can't make it through any of her songs personally, but then again besides the Holy Trinity (Ayu, Kuu, Namie) I think everyone else in the pop scene fails in comparison. Except for the few gems like Miliyah Kato and Mika Nakashima etc.

Songs and albums don't sell because they are better than something else and we shouldn't even discuss our personal tastes and think the stuff's selling cuz we like it

. Good music doesn't always sell. Kana had some of the biggest hits in jpop world during the last 2 years and that's why her previous album was so successful. Even though if, Distance and Esperanza are imo among her best singles Thank you, Love isn't going to sell more than 400k and considering that her previous album nearly reached 700k, I'd say that's a big drop. Sure she could always make another smash hit and do better with the next album, but I am not sure if she'll be in a spotlight for that long. Ku has never reached the Namie level, let alone the Ayu/Hikki level of popularity, Kana is still far from being the next Koda Kumi let alone the other three.

Now imo, singles aside Thank you, Love is Kana's weakest album to date.

Kana won't last, she's a tramp.

Andrenekoi · #**153** 6th July 2011, 11:09 PM

And then come this girl, she is the absolute queen of jpop, her domination goes strong for 2 or 3 years, and them, she is just one more singer on jpop industry...

Ami Suzuki
Mai Kuraki
Ai Otsuka
Mika Nakashima
Ayaka
Koda Kumi

All of those singers were considered "The Queen of Jpop" at some point of their careers since living legends like Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada came, conquered and changed the jpop landscape forever... Good luck to Kana Nishino^^

You say the craziest stuff all the time!

adantatu2 · #**155** 7th July 2011, 03:24 AM

brener · #**156** 7th July 2011, 06:18 AM

kanas songs are boring imo

kalikagai · #**157** 7th July 2011, 07:30 AM

^ agree, I can't even listen to a single song till the end...

NintendoHTF1242 · #**158** 7th July 2011, 08:59 AM

Mmm ya'll looking at the wrong music than or something. But whatever, it's personal taste. As long as we keep our hate comments down a level, I'm good. Thanks loves.

Wrong music doesn't exist. As you said it's personal taste. I vomit every time I think of an idol band or Korean pop stars, yet I don't say people are listening to the wrong kind of music...

NintendoHTF1242 · #**160** 7th July 2011, 10:24 AM

I meant wrong songs lmao. By Kana. There's always that one song by an artist that'll click with people

but hey, like I said, personal taste.
