Too bad she sounded as if she was falling asleep when she recorded it though.

This is precisely why I love ETERNITY so much; Kuu literally made all those songs sound like her songs <3

Juju pick almost all million seller song, the arrangement is so beautiful, her voice is so great, the modulation is so amazing...
no wonder that Juju album can sell very well

It's not far to compare, Kuu may not have picked million sellers but her voice is great, the arrangements are unique to her...

Kingdom and Trick both sold 100k+, right? And this tour blows those two out of the water (at least IMO XD. At the very least it's not WORST), so this is kind of a big drop. I could've understood like 75k... meh... at least I can enjoy it XD

Kingdom and Trick and BC didn't sell 100k in the first week, though, so she still has time to catch up. She's still number 1 on the DVD charts.

I know that, but going from 50k in first week to 50k in total for a DVD doesn't sound so feasible... the sales tend to drop really quickly.

Although I've seen an exception, though. Mr. Children's latest DVD sold 50k in its first week and another 50k in its second, so who knows what might happen!

But enough about that. I still haven't listened to ETERNITY but I will as soon as possible. Hopefully it gets the #1 spot too because it would be cool. <3

true enuff. even though I had Ayu for #1 spot for me during 7 years, her 10th year was dissapointing for me

[agashi]

Just like its not fair to compare 10th anniversaries? *cough*

from Hikkikun:

On the DVD charts, Kumi Koda's latest live DVD sold 47,000 copies to top the overall rankings. As a solo artist, this extends her record of "most consecutive years with a #1 DVD" (she now has 6), while tying with Hideaki Takizawa for two other records - "most #1 DVDs" (7) and "most consecutive #1 DVDs" (7).

but ugh, why no "ienai yo", "swallowtail butterfly" and "sayounara no mukougawa"?

I hope she made other arrangement with break it down & hashire! or it'll be awkward.. Maybe classical/jazzy version?

anyway, i wanna ask those who downloaded UNIVERSE.ISO file from jpopsuki (7 gb).. is the file corrupted? like.. the show starts from the middle of the tour or???

[Cherry Dynamite]

I actually don't know any songs from ETERNITY but the album's really great!
I love most of the tracks.

[Twinkle !]
