aya hirano?
maybe i should check that out.

Not surprised about AKB48, but I doubt about if they're going to make another million-seller-in-a-week single anymore...

Nice for 2pm, kis-my-ft2, and AAA!!

ayu's gonna be outsold by mika nakashima
death
today has been full of death.
END ROLL ALL DAY

considering REAL was released in only 2 editions (CD & CD + DVD) while LOVE again had 6 editions (inclusive of Playbutton) , I think it's saying a lot

:thud

I'm shocked that AAA outsold Sexy Zone...and both were in their first week...!

you think? And whats wrong with Mika?!
I say we wait a few weeks and see what happens!

For the record , REAL is awesome , just saying

I never skipped a single song on the album from start til finish & I frankly thinks that it deserves to sell more , the sales of it doesn't do justice to the album :x

I just hate her voice
it's grating
It makes Yui + ASfXX Ayu seem like virtuosos
Oh well, to each their own.

At least Sexy Zone still has their #1 streak for singles & albums . It's not a big deal at all :shrug

Are you serious ? Mika has 1 of the most distinct voices around . Not sure which're the song/s that you heard from her which made you had this really bad opinion on her but wow you don't know what you're missing out on as she has some really great songs found in her discography

And if if you think Mika's voice's grating to you , you should try Wakeshima Kanon . You will scream & throw something at someone immediately the moment you hear her voice ie. with regards to her recent stuff , not her older works

i'm so happy about AAA!!!

Yeah, it's no big deal after all... :grumpy

I actually listened to REAL
I love the arrangements and compositions for every song that isnt a ballad, but Mika's voice... its just too bad.
LOVE IS ECSTASY is my fav song from the album, however

what do you recommend in terms of mika music?

I really loved that song she did with Danshi Dash or what ever that persons name is.. lol..
I think the title is heaven?

I would say some of her most prominent hits include Yuki no Hana , FIND THE WAY , Oborodzukiyo ~ Inori , Sakurairo Maukoro

Nah that will be Memory feat DAISHI DANCE

blah. At least I got the artist right. lol

I think the same as you.
I really can't stand her voice.
Sorry (fans) but I think it's horrible.
I have listened almost all her songs and... no, sorry but no... and I really tried but it's just a opinion.
