I know I shouldn't do this but compared to Utada and Namie, Ayumi's CD sales look like an economy bubble and got burst..

Wow. Namie Amuro is really catching up to Utada.

[thinkingoutloud89]

the good thing is, that she still did not drop out of the shelves so even casual buyers still see the album

[ExodusUK]

queen of oricon tbh

[orbitalaspect]

Will be interesting to see if Fantome has a to LOVE chart run, where it ends up selling hundreds of thousands of extra copies, but by like 2 or 3k per week for two years.

[Baco__]

The year has what? 5 more weeks? 600k is real then, there's still Christmas. (I don't know if cds are good presents for couples, though lol)

[AyuGAME]

I think this year will end very soon for oricon..if I remember they will start a new year on early or mid December...so maybe just 2 or 3 more weeks.

[Polyrhythm]

The Queen is coming to Kouhaku.

I've waited far too long for this...

[bluegie]

I heard this news 9 hours ago when things were not finalized yet.. But I can't believe that she finally gives in and will appear on Kouhaku. And most of all, she'll be there live...

[Bigtop]

Wow, Utada's in the Kouhaku. Very impressed. To be honest though the performance may be pre-recorded, but if we see her live in real time, it would be really great.

Already predicting a red team win once again (last year the red team won) mainly because of Utada (alongside the typical 48/46 wotas that will try to vote for the red team)...
