We shouldn't be expecting zomg sales anymore, especially for solo female singers. It's a fact that physical CD sales are on the fall, and I think 25k is doing well already.

In any case, it's not like the sales matter... I think 3 SPLASH is her best summer single! It's filled with awesome songs and good PVs... nothing to complain, really.

And I HAVE to agree with whoever who said she's a hit or miss... she has some zomg-good songs but some songs that really... don't make it for me.

Though, moving away from the $lut image was like her wish anyway. It's not like she went into avex in 2000 and told them, "MAKE ME HUMP A BOTTLE BABY!"... I think she just wants to be a singer, and she was just marketed to this "sexy" image against her wish. Maybe she doesn't mind being a little boob-touching etc, but yeah...

At least this down-to-earth, cutie girl is something she really is (like how we can see in 3 SPLASH & TRICK imo)... so I don't mind that.

Besides, songs like Under were wayyyyy less provocative than like SHAKE IT/JUICY, but imo they still hold the same amount of sexiness... cos Kuu oozes with it. XD
