That's not a strong drop for her second week. Here's hoping for 50k ^^

W00T! I'm so happy for her that the album got #3 weekly! :D

50k seems possible, it'd be nice if she could pass that by a bit though!

Great JASMINE!!!!!!

^^I definitely believe she'll surpass 50k! I'm hoping she can hit 70~75k!

She's doing SO AMAZING. I really cant believe it and Im so happy for her

Amazing place for an amazing album :heart

can't believe that is all they showed. wow, rough 'dreamin'' vocals :lol:

really? I was thinking this is going to be a full concert

maybe a dvd then

btw sales update

24 5,127

Total Reported Sales: 41,330* pretty nice

I can't believe she's doing so well!! It's fantastic!! I havent listened to GOLD yet >.< I feel a bad fan

I agree about the Dreamin' vocals, they were a little rough. I think maybe she was just really tired by then? I was hoping she'd do a good job on that song though, because it's one of my favorite songs from her.

I wonder if it'll be a while before she drops another single... I really hope from here on she promotes them on TV.

Her sales are amazing, 50k is possible

NEWS ZERO interview from the 20th

^ thanks. We should be really grateful to her friend, if she hadn't been there we might've never heard of Jasmine ;D

^ here you go~

When she was 12, she heard a gospel choir sing during a festival and was really impressed with their voices, so she joined a gospel choir herself. But after finishing junior high school, she quit the choir. She mentions: "It wasn't fun anymore, to be alive."

Then she adds, "I hated myself, I couldn't do anything. I wondered, 'what am I alive for?' When I became an adult, the way the people around me treated me changed. I felt like if I had to live with responsibility. I had no confidence in myself. Being alive was no longer fun."

Then they shift to Jasmine's close friend Ogawa, "When I heard her sing at karaoke, I felt that it wasn't just an ordinary person singing. Hearing her could give me goose bumps and could make me cry. So I told her that she should be confident of herself."

Shift to Jasmine, "She asked me 'Why aren't you trying harder?'. She said, 'Asumi (Jasmine's real name), you're better than you think'. She praised me. I had never been praised like that before."

Ogawa's words gave Jasmine confidence and she re-entered a gospel choir. And when she was 18, she passed an audition for a record company.

Shift to Jasmine, "It felt great to be praised. If I look back at it now, it was only a little thing, but at that time it was a huge step."

^Thanks tenshi, and thanks a lot Ogawa!!!

thank you so much for the translation tenshi :heart
