For some reason, being a shitty vocalist seens to be a pre-requesite for being a big jpop star.... :P So, this probably worked on her favour.

To be honest this isn't great and she definetely doesn't show any "talent", but it's not bad either - it's just basic (talking about her dancing, her singing is real bad). I mean, I could just as well call Ayu a "talented" dancer, she isn't bad but also just basic.

I'm really frustrated about the trend to call basic idols "talented"... -.- Maybe I should consider a career as an idol too, because I'm as basic (or "talented") as 99% of this idols.

Tomomi just doesn't have 'it'. I watched one of her videos and she had no charisma or presence. Bigger problem than her singing or dancing, because she's not alone in Jpop by being bad at them.

For those that don't know.. Sorry for the delay, I've been busy with school

She's like ayu in the sense that people buy her music partly because she's a fashion leader, she has this kawaii image, attends to brand events and has CM tie-ins with fashion brands.

Imagine how untalented idols are nowadays that Tomomi Itano is considered to be talented against them

And she loves Namie and ayu that's why her looks are similar

Numbers are really low this year in Japan :\ 700 copies for a top 100 release is really sad

^I feel the same but I think it's better because the market it's not so collapsed and we get more sales updates for artists like ayu

I pretty much shy away from everything AKB48 (shying away is the nice way to put it, honestly) but I actually didn't hate that performance. She's cute and I actually liked her voice decently. Did I love it? Nope.

I see people like her and just wish they'd push A LITTLE BIT harder...try to become better at singing or try and have some creativity. She's like a blank canvas of a pop star... She could become much more interesting if she makes the right choices...

Colours debuted at #58 in South Korea according to Gaon Monthly Albums and sold 142 copies in July ^^

Good for ayu!!

kawaii image?really?
I do not get Jpop nowadays, I swear ;)

I like Tomochin a lot because of her fashion diva image, and her songs are REALLY good. Her dancing and singing are not that good, but she definetely has a popstar aura around her. xD

Colours is just 2,373 copies away of reaching Koda's last album

May I ask source please? (:

7th Week

Position: #103
Sales: 670
Total sales: 52,221

yay!! another week!! just 1,703 of reaching Koda's last album

Weren't Koda's final sales around 60k?

Really?? According to generasia Bon vonyage sold a total of 59,176.
It also says colorus sold a total of 52,221. I don't know much but doesn't ayu need to sell 6,955 copies to reach kumi's album??

Actually, I'm just hoping that Colours can outsell the mini-album "again" at least.

oh in some site I saw she sold 53k lol
