[miwa] The 5th Thread ~ The 5th Year ~ Road to 5th Anniversary - Page 2

Sorry for double-posting...but I have a feeling miwa might get #1 with this so-called "limited release" album. Wait, WHAT!? miwa #1!?

I'm not kidding. I bet Koda Kumi fans aren't going to like this. She led on the first day...but by less than 500, so I knew miwa might have a chance at #1. Suga Shikao also a worthy competitor, although some 5,000 copies behind. But day 2 comes...

...and miwa's #1! Koda Kumi goes down to #4. If miwa can keep doing well over the next few days...miwa's going to get a #1 for the first time since 2013! And it's on a ballad collection album.

Then again, January's pretty a weak month for J-pop releases, in my opinion... (miwa had to fight against Koda Kumi...on a similar album concept, I think. Ballad fight?)

It's not so-called limited, it is limited to 50'000 copies. And i think it's pretty safe to say that she'll get #1 with this release, hopefully koda can take #2 didnt really expect her to be #1 anyway

Bigtop · #23 23rd January 2016, 12:12 AM

Still #1 as of now.

Don't expect Koda Kumi to go #2 with the fact Suga Shikao is doing well, in fact better than Koda Kumi (#2 vs. #4) over the past two days...

If someone downloaded the full album and could upload only the new arrangements, I'll be grateful.

Kacku · #25 23rd January 2016, 02:50 PM

I'll do it tomorrow unless someone else gets to it first.

Was anything new or rearranged except Delight though? I only listened to that.

And my opinion on it, if anyone cares: I think this arrangement is more impressive live, the recording on the 360° single and the one from Acoguissimo in Budokan blow this version out of the water. I feel like Orianthi didn't get enough to do here. I'm impressed that miwa recorded it in English though; she's not great at English, but I appreciate the effort.

Bigtop · #26 24th January 2016, 06:50 AM

Nothing really to worry about...miwa still the best domestic act today among albums. (Megadeth...a thrash metal band from stateside, based down south in Los Angeles. As for Oricon rankings, for reference: Suga Shikao #7, Koda Kumi #9)

I'm pretty sure 99.9% miwa is going to get #1. (Unless someone makes a surprise sale, such as in the case for singles, SMAP is #1 on the same day's daily single rankings over NEWS...)

I thought that Hikarie english/piano was a new version but I reallised it's the version that you can find in one of her single, isn't it?

Kacku · #28 24th January 2016, 01:38 PM

^ Yeah, I think it's the one from Whistle ~Kimi to Sugoshita Hibi~ single, the title and duration are the same.

Kacku · #29 24th January 2016, 09:04 PM

Here's Delight feat. Orianthi for anyone still looking.

**Yoake** · #30 24th January 2016, 09:28 PM

^thank you

Bigtop · #31 25th January 2016, 07:38 AM

Back to #1.

As for Gesu no Kiwami Otome - see first page about someone commenting on the vocalist of that band ranting on miwa - but it's quite ironic they're releasing an album on the same day as miwa (and Koda Kumi)...

mellody · #32 25th January 2016, 07:41 AM

lol, she got #1? Anyway, what a pleasant surprise. I like the lyrics of Delight.

No new arrangements, no new remixes, only better remastered tracks. I can only hear the difference in friend, the beginning noise of people is more clearer now, you can hear the people walking and their voices.

That's all. However, I like the theme and the atmosphere, fits perfectly.

Ryusei · #33 25th January 2016, 06:43 PM

^^ they released their album last week not this week. ..... looking forward to her next single hopefully smth upbeat rock-ish

**Yoake** · #34 25th January 2016, 08:20 PM

Orianthi's play in Delight isn't bad at all but nothing can beat the original version to me.

mellody · #35 27th January 2016, 02:15 AM

I just realized that the cover for this best album is one of her worst. Yuck.

Ryusei · #36 27th January 2016, 02:06 PM

#1 weekly woop 32'618 copies sold out of the 50'000. Some were probably sold to sites and stores that don't get counted though so we don't really know how many of those 50'000 copies have been sold already

New song called haranran feat. 96 Neko is used as the ending of Flying Witch

mellody · #39 18th April 2016, 05:45 AM

Out of nowhere, that was odd. I've never heard of anything about new song at all

But it's a nice song! It starts boring but this TV Version sounds nice.

More acting role for her!

Spoiler:

I haven't watched Maestro but most people seems praising her for her role in it. I've watched Kouhaku ga Umareta Hi though, and she did great. Looking forward to this one!

Hahahaha, I like this new song !!!
