the Satomi Takasugi thread v.2
 

Satomi Takasugi is an ex-gravure idol, race queen and current solo singer on Rhythm Zone. She is also a former member of the avex girl group wi☆th. She made her unofficial solo debut at the Rhythm Nation 2006 concert, performing a cover of Yoshiyuki Ohsawa's "soshite boku wa tohou ni kureru." She made her official debut, however, when she released her first solo single, "tabibito," on June 6, 2007. Since then she has released two more double a-sided singles, "hyaku renka / tooku hanarete mo" and "yukiboshi / soshite boku wa tohou ni kureru."

She will release her fourth single, "issho ni," and debut album, "garden," simultaneously on February 20th.

Discuss!

I don't think the NINKI numbers matter that much - Wouldn't they be polling perhaps a crowed of people who would rather buy Boybands or Koda Kumi? IMO Satomi seems more the type of artist to appeal to the adult audience..

Yay for the second thread!!

"garden" release comment~

she looks really pretty in it <3

^ The link doesn't work =(

^ It's working for me... maybe copy+paste into Windows Media Player?

Also, my copies of "garden" and "issho ni" are now in-stock at CDJ. the order is just waiting for my Shota Shimizu CD to come in-stock before it ships. excited~~

^ Oh okay thanks =)

Thank you so much! :luv2
Aw, she looks so cute! I <3 Satomi!

Can anyone possibly translate?

cute video.
the computer screens behind her look like they have her website up, but its still the yukiboshi theme. mustve been recorded a little while ago :P


EDIT : this is my 1000th post! :O i just realized!

Omg!!! Two more days (for us that is) until the album comes out!!!! I can't wait :love
And woot to the second thread of Satomi!

What were the NINKI numbers again?

16.80 for "issho ni," I believe. "garden" didn't rank.

:( that dosen't really give the album alot of hope..

oh my. So bad =\

Ouch. Well maybe they just forgot to list it? *Nervous laughter*

I thought the album was supposed to rank when it is released? This is weird. Why Issho ni so early? Or am I missing something here? :dead2

^ NINKI rankings are either predictions or what Oricon suscribers are interested in for the coming week - one of those two. I'm not sure.

^ Oh, I see now.
Thank you for clearing that up for me, Austin :D

Tomorrow Satomi's album and single comes out!

YAY! (its on wednesday though!....its still monday here!)

im excited!
i cant wait for my copies to ship!
