It probably didn't chart so there aren't any sales figure. hehe.

It actually did, it was at #29 3 days ago. I didn't check the top 50 for the rest of the week; but at least it broke the top 30 without any promotion.

Oh ho ho, JASMINE has proved me wrong. I'm impressed.

not to nitpick, but there was more promo for this then even her last album, they got radio play, a tie-up, magazines, store lives, displays, and she even had tv appearances with those interviews she did that were split for several airings.

I love the revamp to her official site now as well. well except for that profile, which they still haven't revamped, come on Japan, "black music" is not and never will be a genre of music.

well, that's just plain sad then. However, I'm pretty sure HERO had more promo than this. I mean, it was all over Shibuya. These types of promotion are basically made for fans anyway IMO.

I'm kinda glad I cancelled my order, I don't like Jas Vegas that much apart from 2 songs I like the rest is not my cup of tea.

What was the "concept" behind the album anyway?

What's "black music"?

usually used for RnB/Rap/Motown, America use to have black singles chart and some countries still use the outdated and now pretty racist label like Germany and Japan

What are some good examples of labels that Japan use?

supposedly "live" music. The type of music she would like to do in concerts probably..?

[primavera♥]

Lol I was scrolling down my twitter feed and thought that was ayu. I still don't understand why she wasn't on the cover for the album. It's so tacky. The album isn't bad at least.

But her sales though....Poor baby.

She's still so fabulous, though not fabulous enough to be on the cover of her own album. Ayumi can look plastic and hikki can look dead and they still get to be on their covers. They just need to change a few things. I honestly want her to do better

[orangeakira]

I rest my case.

I'm not a fan of the album. I don't even remember what it sounds like. I actually thought the cover was kinda cool though.

[KarenPang]

Honestly I don't think Welcome to Jas Vegas is all that bad & the fact that JASMINE is the 1 that wrote the lyrics to all the songs found in it (when I was looking at the CD sleeves since I bought a copy), I think it's commendable

That said , for her to release this concept album without any singles preceding it , that's a bold decision to undertake

And I actually prefer the songs found in the album , I don't really like her EDM stuff that much
