^I thought purchases on CDJAPAN do count on Oricon?
I ADORE that Spring cover. She looks fabulous.
Also, I could never compare Namie, Ayu, Kuu, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or BoA. They're MY TOP FAVORITE artists. They're my personal Queens. The world can have their fads, phases, opinions and so forth. As long as they're all making great music to my own ears, no matter the sales, I'm just genuinely overjoyed.
Btw, they announced LS2014 awhile ago. Have they not announced anything more new about the tour?
