Before anyone gets upset Namie Amuro has a topic for Uncontrolled so why not Kuu?

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Congrats! The single is terrible but she really deserves to be on top!

Yupp! It's been confirmed by Oricon. The weekly numbers will be out tomorrow.

[TeamAyu2004]

interesting, good for her.
although those numbers are so low, it was such a bad week for music...

55k is a pretty good for her. And this wasn't a bad week for music at all. All of the Top 3 sold about 50k+ which is good.

Queen of JPOP still tbh even if the single is a snooze fest.

[TeamAyu2004]

I guess its relative.
I find it a pretty bad week, especially when some artist command 100k + for their opening weeks.
Although for kuu it's pretty stander. of late she hasn't been a huge seller.

No non AKB48 solo female has been selling a lot of singles. Kuu can still sell 150k+ with her albums while many other certain female solo artists have struggled to reach that mark. I'm so proud of Kuu and Namie that they can still get #1 albums and singles in this day and age. <3

no female non-AKB related soloist has gotten a 100k first week for single sales in some time tho, need to update those standards tbh
the best this year so far is Nana Mizuki with 75k

#1 is #1. I'm taking the accomplishment for what it is. Plenty of other singers have built records on being simply the highest seller in the week, despite low numbers. Kuu can do it once, too.

Amen!

[Minttulatte]

Congrats to my Queen~

I just pretend that you didn't bring AKB on this thread (I can't stand them)...

[ilovekodaa]

congrats for Queen Kuu <3

[Delicious n Bold]

Congrats kumi kuu
Not a fan of the single tbh but still, congrats!

^ you are missing the point of my post.
It has nothing to do with who got what.

I consider it a bad week in sales, nothing (for singles) broke 100K... if the final sales are right, with Kuu at 55K nothing even broke 60K... thats a bad week when you have other artist who can do more in sales. you said it yourself with Nana Mizuki. Namie's Sit Stay... did 77K and ayumi's last single L did 70K just to name two other female artist.

it is not a reflection on Kuu, its a reflection on the week

Ayu's last single was in 2010. Times have changed since and then and Ayu's album sales have been cut in half since then. Whose to say if Ayu released a single now she would do the same numbers? I really doubt she would and even if she did her numbers were nothing special either and were released in even deader weeks than this one. I agree with Nana and Namie but Ayu is not this huge seller either yet if she got #1 with the same numbers I'm not so sure you'd be saying the same thing.

It's funny to me when Kuu actually does get a #1 it's "oh it was a dead week" and when she gets #6 or whatever she's "flopping." Some people just never stop sigh.....

like i said before, it has nothing to do with it being kuu. You are pulling at stray hairs. Its a dead week because the highest seller only did 55K... It could of been ayumi and I would be saying the same thing.
It could of been AKB and I would still say ITS A DEAD WEEK.

as for the bolded part, since ayumi did 70K it cant be deader then 55k, now can it... she sold 15K more copies. But just droping Ayumi and talking with Nana who did 75K, 20K more then Kuu is a little bit better...
I still wouldn't consider that a hot week though... its better, but not excellent.

100K for me is excellent and not many solo's get that anymore.
