Though if we think about it namie is not so new, having been in the music industry 5 years more than ayu. HA people. I love when they get fixated on something and love it/bash it for no reason. Anyway yeah, I think the same. hopefully she will focus more on promo this year...going a bit OT, am I the only one thinking that nowadays she doesn't seem so confident anymore on tv lives? like, back in the day she was very very confident. Now it's as if she's nervous and afraid of not being appreciated...also her voice trembles, while when she tours she has everything under control, and she looks much more confident. Maybe she feels more at ease performing in front of her fans, who love her? idk if I'm reading too much into this, but it's something I noticed from quite a long time now. ex: inspire at kouhaku, while being very good vocally she looked tense, usually she performs this song with much more energy..
ps. it's not a critic, just something I wished to point out

[AyumiAi]

yay 4k! ^^ hopefully it can reach 40k in the end!

[ayumisrael]

She might actually reach 39,000-40,000! Wow! I actually thought it would drop to 2000s for the 2nd week. I'm pleased!

[adantatu2]

The second week sales are good, 40k is the next goal

[SolarAngel]

I'm just thinking her Japanese fans are so fickle. Where have the fans who supported her last L single gone?
