Flavor of Life numbers were technically 2 songs - the Ballad and the Original versions put together...

^So is that why they state it as "japan's best-selling digital single" instead of song?....because if so then Aoyama didn't break Hikki's record but created a new record. =/ I read that source listed but it's only saying she beat out Greeen's record and nothing about it outselling FOL. On top of that it's saying best selling song for full mobile song on chikaku (sorry for the spelling :dead2). This record is confusing. @_@

I don't like that she broke hikki's record for FoL, it's much better than soba ni iru ne >_<

I think that soba ni iru ne is a nice minus song not more. Maybe the lyrics got everyone's attension...

Soba ni Iru ne's not bad , I just wish SoulJa's vocals weren't there to begin with & the video for Soba ni Iru ne is quite boring as well , it wouldn't hurt Aoyama to come up with an interesting video right ?

People, please read. FOL is the highest selling digital single, this is the highest selling digital song. You guys really think Thelma could've gotten 7 million downloads like the FOL single did? :rolleyes

not really, as she would have to use a large bag to cover her head if she wanted to beat FoL. Anyhow SoulJa's version was better imo. I somehow detest Thelma.

:yes Post of the day.

Umm - Yes! Thelma is way prettier than Hikki and a much better singer! Just wait for her next album, it\'ll outsell First Love by at least 1million. :yes Love Thelma forever! So hot and sexy :love!

I do agree that Thelma is a better singer (she has far better technique), and that she is indeed more attractive, but there is no way she could ever outsell First Love. It just is not going to happen.

lol because Hikki is such a looker.

7 million is tough to beat though.

:laugh I suppose her next single will be the best selling in Japan as well. The only thing hot that Thelma can do is put a person to sleep. =/

OMG! NUD! :laugh Have you even seen some of Hikki's pics? I'm sorry but there's nothing really remotely attractive about Thelma. Hikki wins ten fold. (expect for that recent pic of her at CDTV....Thelma beats her in that pic. :lmfao)

Hell yea! :yay

Tbh, not really. Since digital sells are up so high I can expect someone soon to beat both of their records. =/

:laugh

I'm sorry but...that's just not going to happen.

Yay congrats!!! When i stayed in japan this summer my host family's mother had this song as a ringtone ^_^

Ummm, yes, I've seen "some of her pics". I was a fan of Hikki long before I liked Ayu, so don't even get me started on if I know what the woman looks like. She isn't ugly, but she's far from stunning in my opinion. Thelma isn't absolutely gorgeous either, but I do think she is much more attractive than Hikki. Her mixed heritage contributes greatly to her beauty.

Even with her mixed heritage, she still isn't a looker IMO. Idk....I think it's her nose and the ways she smile at times that's a turn off and that makes me think that way about her. There are many pics of Hikki that would prolly make some think "Why don't she rank in those Oricon beauty polls like Ayu?" DDD: I'm not try'n to make it seem like Hikki is the best damn looker there is (because she isn't...there are days she's srsly fugly) but I certainly think she's a candidate to best Ayu in the beauty department/polls. :heart

(hey, I hope didn't pick at ur nerves about wut I said earlier. Sorry if I did. ^_^)

Aoyama Deserves it :) She is a realy good singer in my opinion ^^

I agree Demoni, she is a great singer, a warm and original sound.

Umm, isn\'t that what Utada is known for as well? :rolleyes

I think out of everyone, the only one known for her true musical talent, beauty, and sexiness is Thelma. I can\'t wait for her US debut! According to several rumors I\'ve heard, she\'s working with the Pussycat Dolls!

Wow....good for her even though I don't really like the song much.
At all.

That's very true, she is a global phenomenon that is taking over the planet! I heard she got hired to be Nicole's replacement. :yes
