EIGHT WORLD~THE OFFICIAL MISIA THREAD

[Meat Pao]

^ Yes for both questions

[TITANIC]

i like the cover of just balade,it looks very nice

[Yoake]

really nice cover *.*

[Yoake]

Aitaikute pv:

[prussian blue]

omg, every second of the PV is an art

seriously, its a pretty PV, nice song too

[Yoake]

I'm totally agree! The pv is so nice and amazing. It's autumnish too. The colors are really pretty!^^
the song is pretty but not one of her best!

[Crystal_Ageha]

Beautiful song, beautiful PV! I actually like this song. Very powerful (of course, it's MISIA) ballade. I think it's one of her better ones.

[darkswordz]

I heard the 3 new songs on the aitaikute ima single. Sounds promising they should be the type of ballad by misia that will appeal to the general japanese public. Seems that she will be putting up a relatively strong resistance to namie's new album

*Going to order her album with DVD version, together with 3 version of ayu's single and namie's album with DVD it's not everyday whereby 3 of my favourite artist release music together

[Meat Pao]

Aitakute Ima debuted at #9 today, a much better position than Ginga and hopefully it doesn't fall out of the Top 10 this week. I doubt Just Ballade will be competition for Namie, honestly. I think Namie will end up #1 and Just Ballade will probably end up at #2 or #3 (Like her last few studio albums as well)

[darkswordz]

^Well it will most likely drop out of top 10 tomorrow and end up in the 15 to 20 range for the weekly position (which is what happen to Catch the Rainbow, with popularity that roughly match Aitakute Ima)

Well with her recent sales, i think maintaining a first week sales in the 70k range (which is compariable to her last 2 album) would be a good enough sales for her, after taking into account the declining music industry. I would expect namie to easily sell 300k of her latest album within the 1st week shouldn't be a problem for her

[prussian blue]

i'm quite sick with her album goes #2 or #3 weekly, cmon, she should have a better date and thus, better ranking

her albums are really promising, i really hope most of them get #1 in the first week

[Meat Pao]

^ For me, I'd recommend MISIA GREATEST HITS, KISS IN THE SKY, ASCENSION and EIGHTH WORLD...

Yeah, at first I thought Just Ballade may finally have a chance to get #1 weekly, until Namie just had to announce her album on that very date lol.

i love ASCENSION so much, the whole album has many genre of music. from jazz., dance, RnB/dance, ballade, and pop. such a perfect album. not to mention the packaging and its booklet is really really pretty misia was walking on a forest

Thank you Pao, trying to find out her Greatest Hits in order to begin

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I like it so much!! The PV it's simply amazing and i believe the song can fit the japanese gusto.

can you advise me some albums to listen to?

[freedreamer]

Amazing PV..She never ceases to amaze with her vocals+ballads...Ginga was gorgeous

[AyuGAME]

still waiting for HQ version of the PV? anybody has it?

[Fitst]

i can't believe that the single is online yet. I really want to hear the full thing <3

[Damita]

Unfortunately she probably won't get #2 either that week #3 I think is her spot though.

Some other names releasing that day are: Rina Aiuchi - Greatest Hits
Mano Erina's first album
Yusuke
Namie

Rina's last album barely sold 10k first week, but since it is a greatest hits it's likely to sell more. Mano Erina should be no issue. Yusuke and Namie are both likely to outsell her, if singles are any indication of the success for Yusuke's album. My prediction is:

1. Namie: 300k
2. Yusuke: 150k
3. MISIA: 60k
4. Rina Aiuchi: 25k

But anyways, I LOVE the new single! I'm very impressed by her Ballade style and can't wait for her new album to be released!

Are you trying to say Rina Aiuchi will beat MISIA?? D: I very much hope not, lol. If so, it's safe to say that MISIA is officially dead as a singer, considering Rina Aiuchi is laughable as an artist. -.- Not sure about Yusuku, though. I actually haven't heard of any of his stuff, but his singles have done really well. :\ But like you said, I think MISIA has a very good chance of getting number three...
