My Japanese husband looking awkward as fuck in a Dutch cover of NEVER EVER. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6g3xCEAVQ0

this new tumblr is quite hilololololarious, it's a nice-tongue-in-cheek "my j-pop queen is better than thou j-pop queen" tumblr, but one fans can laugh about (Ayumi Hamasaki dares to wear a cowboy hat? Doesn't she know Namie invented cowboy hats!?) http://lessors-that-copy-queen-namie.tumblr.com/

The cardboard between the CD and DVD is torn and the plastic CD and DVD trays have cracks in them.

FEEL ARRIVED HEAVILY DAMAGED

Minuscule adjustment, so no 300,000 copies sold yet But Feel returns to #1 on the daily chart today!

Damn, that boost was unexpected...I thought she'd have to struggle to get 50,000 sales this week... but if the sales stay the same, I am unfortunately expecting this to be her first album not to be certified double platinum since STYLE

Queen of Hip-Pop debuted at #4 in week 30 of 2005 (Ketsumeishi was Japan's #1 that week, it charted at #1 worldwide that week) PLAY debuted at #4 in week 28 of 2007 (American pop princesses Kelly Clarkson and Miley Cyrus blocked her that week) BEST FICTION debuted at #1 in week 33 of 2008 Past < Future debuted at #7 in week 52 of 2009 (the huge sales would have gotten her to #1 in a normal week, but Christmas week is extreme competition) Checkmate! debuted at #2 in week 19 of 2011 (Blocked only by Adele's 21, which is already a contender for best album of the 21st century) Uncontrolled debuted on #3 in week 28 of 2012 (Behind Linkin Park an Maroon Five who both in their second week had a sales spike. Her competition of 1 year earlier, Adele was still in the top 5) and now Feel is at #2 in week 30 of 2013 (only Jay-Z cockblocks her this time) The World Chart only dates back until 2004. Fun fact; at the time of the release of SWEET 19 BLUES, her debut sales of 1,92 million copies sold in the first week were the highest single week sales of any female artist in history up until that point. The record now famously is in the hands of Utada Hikaru (DISTANCE, 3,1 million) and Ayumi Hamasaki (A BEST, 2,9 million), released in the same week in 2001

It's a public forum where people can express themselves the way that they want and post what they want. you don't like it, get out [/discussion]

ugh...time for me to start ranting AGAIN about mandatory military service...

This album will be certified million by the time my copy is finally delivered :'(

Enjoying albums has little to do with sales nowadays unfortunately...People just don't buy as many albums as they used to, safe for the -48 groups in Japan everybody is suffering from loss of sales.

OFF COURSE SHE DOESN'T CARE, IF I LOOKED LIKE THAT ON MY DRUNK PICTURES, I WOULDN'T CARE EITHER...this woman always looks so good, it sickens me...

lol...now that you mention it...Kyary is only second to Amuro...Kyary is now one of the reigning queens of J-Pop There have also been no #1 singles by female soloists this year.

I've ordered my Japanese husband to steal one of the posters from Shibuya, so he better do that...that punk is spending too much time on the phone with Ayumi Hamasaki nowadays...seriously, he met Ayumi's Personal Trainer in a cafe and now Ayumi Hamasaki has his phone number...I can't remember the last time I was this jealous of somebody...

But let's be honest now...we were all secretly hoping for her to do better than "Uncontrolled"'s first week sales ;)

Looks like we're gonna get around 250-260K first week...not that bad...

dammit...that means my Japanese husband was telling the truth...he went to thing Ayu went to (this thing) And there he said he met Ayu's personal trainer. And then he said that personal trainer gave his number to Ayu and then Ayu called him the next day. I thought "you terrible liar, why would you make up such nonsense?" but he said that in their conversation Ayu talked about how she had problems with her skin, and worried she might have to cancel concerts. THIS WAS A WEEK BEFORE THIS NEWS ARTICLE CAME OUT!!! So he was telling the truth!!! So apparently, I have become friends with somebody who now TALKS ON THE PHONE WITH HER IMPERIAL MAJESTY

Just 50K second day :( the lead this album had on Uncontrolled is already gone again

It's not gonna happen. We gonna get a mini-album followed by "More love songs" followed by the 16th anniversary releases, then "A SPRING BEST", A EVEN BETTER LIVE, and Timothy Wellard and Urata Naoya's albums, which were mostly written by Ayu and features her on half of the songs.

why is everybody on twitter and tumblr celebrating that they got their copy of "FEEL" while I only just got an invoice telling it has been sent (meaning it will be here in 2 weeks at the earliest)

Drunk namies new album sounds amanzing lol 5you are all amazing people ans a8i love you all Gonna sleep new, join me in parayer that my hangoverr tomorrow wonnt be too bad lol It will be bytUt whatever...yoou Are all wonderfull ppeopel and i love you all

FEEL is pretty much outremixed as it is...Big Boys Cry and Let Me Let You Go are the only songs that can still get remixed without becoming a terrible mess.
