I actually prefer PQ and JAPONESQUE over UNCONTROLLED. So, Namie's sales mean nothing to me.

For me JAPONESQUE wins but Uncontrolled is not that far behind. PQ is not even close to the two already mentioned but that's only how I feel.

AHS married to Maro
~13/1-2010~

Spoiler:
We had such a nice time. We started dating in t2m PV, took it slow you know, let our love grow. Then it got really serious in 2008. Then after AT2009 we moved in together. It was lovely. Then on AT2010 he asked me to marry him. He was such a sweet. And Ayu gave us our blessings. She was also such a sweet. Now me and Maro are such a sweets together. Aaaw, how time flies.

I've been really disappointed by Uncontrolled... After P<F, this album sounds so flat to me...

I obviously preferred PQ, the only problems of which are NaNaNa, hbya and the PVs.

As for Kumi, I usually only like one or to songs in a whole album, and this time I love almost all Japonesque, minus the ballads.

So, yeah, sorry Namie, but you really lose for me !


Anyway, hopefully we should get a preview of You&Me next week, don't you think ? I imagine they're gonna try to promote it soon, this time.

A BEST had re-recorded songs, A BALLADS a lot of remixed versions. They should have added something fresh and unexpected to A SUMMER BEST, too.

A BEST didn't have a new song/PV so each album has its own things I suppose.

if not a new vocal, at least new arrangment... that's more simple
but I'm afraid they will not do anything

This. I've seen some people point out over and over that she's slaying them with her sales, which is true but she's definitely not slaying either one of them with the quality of her music.

I agree. That would make this release a lot more fun & exciting.
It seems not a lot of thought was put into this release :/

Subjective. Weak argument.

I don't think they were necessarily disagreeing. Just pointing out that it's subjective taste. An opinion. Which makes it valid or strong only for love in music.

But everyone should know that it's an opinion and there's nothing wrong with it lol so idk if it really needed to be pointed out.

Although love in music and I have the same opinion since I like Kuu's and Ayu's music better also. But I also don't really care

____________

On another note,
I would be more tempted to by the CD release if it had rearrangements or re-recorded vocals maybe.

The version including the DVD seems worth it to me though

I dont think I took it as a disagreement. The posted said that it was a weak argument, so i was just pointing out that its not weak because its subjective.
I guess I should of worded my statement differently.

Don't be silly.

You should actually change your signature to "IN MY OPINION" in size 7. And also, change your avatar to IMO!

I plan on doing that soon.

But really, it wasn't necessary to put "weak argument" there, so stupid.
