She kind of did leave though... I mean, she didn't have an original album for 4 years, which is huge in Japan. And I'd definitely call her ULTRA BLUE singles-era a major slump, so she has had a big comeback from that. I'm so happy for her.

On another note, if (when) this album hits the million mark, do you guys think it'll be the last female studio album to sell one million? I think so. I can't see any of the big female artists right now (Kuu, Namie, Ayumi) hitting one million again, and the newcomers (Aoyama Teruma, ?, ?) aren't in a position to sell that much.
