You is a big one.

[freedreamer]

err...but didnt "stay with me" garner 2 MILLION digital downloads..i think thats quite a feat already. + it's along the same line as Ai no Uta. (Yume no Uta is on a totally different league)

[NintendoHTF1242]

Cutie Honey, Butterfly, real Emotion, and 1000 no Kotoba are the most famous ones I think. All my friends know her because of those songs. Mainly the FF songs.

[[kokoro♥]]

Real Emotion and 1000 no Kotoba was her first huge hits from tie-ins, and then Butterfly was her breakthrough after that I believe.. someone correct me if im wrong.

[waterballoon]

Butterfly definitely...

Thanks! Yeah I hope someone will record it too. I think she/they sound great Sounds like they made some arrangement changes to ECSTASY. I hope it'll be good

[AyUta]

Yes, Sen no Kotoba and REAL EMOTION were her two biggest hits that got her to the top. That's how I found out about Kumi FF!

[Polyrhythm]

Really? I dont really think 1000 no kotaba and real emotion were that phenomenal...I think Kumi got really big with Butterfly....

[AyUta]

Well, Butterfly was also one of them Don't be mistaken. IMO though, I think Sen no Kotoba was what did it...

[love in music]

yeah 1000 no kotoba. a lot of people know about her from that and some people only like her for that song (like my brother)

Her last hit was yume no uta/futari de... sold well both physically and digitally.
Since then had had pretty average selling singles sometimes a bit more sometimes less but no really big hits.

She has a whole year to try and release another hit.

Well real Emotion/1000 no kotoba got her more popular than she was (which didn't mean a lot on those years) but then the small popularity she started to gain faded with the singles and feel my mind album until cutie honey-Hot Stuff-Butterfly.
Those are the 3 main songs that got her really popular and started the ero-kakkoii thing that got people interested in her to the extent of end of 2005-2006.
Butterfly perfectly hit the spot.

Alive/Physical thing 1st Week
Position: #1
Sales: 32,468

It's kuu's lowest first week sales since kiseki back in 2004 (not looking at Hot Stuff that was limited). T_T

[KarenPang]

ugh horrible 1st week sales for Alive / Physical thing .___.

but at least it got #1 which's all that matters & it deserves to

[emi♡]

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I figured Butterfly was one of them since it won record of the year at JGDA I think it was? And then of course Cutie Honey was big (which was one of the first songs I heard that I really liked). I should check out those other songs too then.
