DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I do wonder though, is this because they didn't release for so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusenkai 2,373 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I do wonder though, is this because they didn't release for so long? I think that might have a little to do with it, but if you remember the music store charts at the end of last year, "Yoshu Fukushu" was a really popular release. It doesn't surprise me that it is getting some nods at awards shows like this and the CD Shop Awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were releasing albums regularly, would there be as much hype as there is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusenkai 2,373 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 But was it as popular as it was because it was a comeback album? If they were releasing albums regularly, would there be as much hype as there is? Would it have been AS popular if they were on a consistent release schedule? Possibly (and probably) not. Would it still have been popular? Yes. The difficult thing with this case is that it's hard to say whether or not they'd have built an even larger and more consistent fan-base if they had kept releasing at their normal pace over the past 6 years. Since, in some cases, hiatuses like the one they took cripple acts (i.e. GReeeeN, who have never reached the levels of their pre-2010 hiatus). Though yes, your point is taken.
