[Koda Kumi] Continues walking in her 174th thread!

[Minttulatte]

Omg, she's slaying the charts! I hope she'll get another #1. This album deserves it♥

[Gustavopc]

Chances are pretty good for a #1, and I sure think it deserves to top the charts

[ayu_ready?]

I'm happy for the sales, but I need to see how the sales will go during the whole first week
I need promo and magazines *sorrynotsorry

[Miichan]

They're very good at picking the quietest weeks on oricon!
This seems to be the quietest week of the year? She may have one of the lowest selling #1's again this year.
It's clear that they aren't ready to give up her number ones
Very curious to see the soundscan numbers for this one!

After letting the album sink in a bit I don't dislike it as much as I first did, but I'd still put it in her bottom 3 albums.

I was listening to some of her old albums again a few days ago and I've gotta say that those are her best ones.
Without your love, Take back, Rain, Hands, Maze... such amazing tracks!

[Isicio]

@Xianghua thank you! No problem ^_^

[Gustavopc]

wow I hadn't realised there was such a drop from JAPONESQUE to BV... Even though there have drops since Kingdom (except for UNIVERSE, I guess the BEST helped sustain it). Still, great numbers for WOML

Has anyone ripped the Live DVD already? I wanna see it so bad!

Thank you, I knew I was checking JPS everyday for something but I forgot why, I was thinking that I already have the album and it's too early for Ayu and just couldn't remember what's missing xD

Also, do you have a slightly bigger image of this, Corvina? It's kind of hard for me to read. Thanks for posting though. I love looking at the numbers.

Bon Voyage came out two years after JAPONESQUE, so I was not surprised at a sharp drop, but the fact that BV only sold 1/3rd of what JAPONESQUE sold... that was the shock to me.

Sure, here you go. It's from Baidu.
Was at work the whole day, so I just copied and pasted fastly the first time, sorry. Going to delete the other post.




Btw, did somebody watch the LINE broadcast today?
As I was at work I couldn't.
Over at Baidu people are saying over 90,000 people watched! o.O
Is that true?
If so, I hope that all of those are actually buying the album, lol.

[pimenta]

Great 1st day sales! Hope it gets #1

[Surreal17]

I just found love for Unmei (reminds me of a mika nakashima ballad but I can.t remember which one). Those guitar parts give me chills. The chorus is a bit dragging but its okay.
Also, I also gave another chance to Candle Light and its not as bad as I previously thought. Its just that I always overlooked Black Cherry because of its huge amount of cute songs.

[oaristos]

Happy to see the album is doing alright in the charts!

[Beauty4123]

I am sooo happy to see that "WALK OF MY LIFE" is already doing so great on Oricon!!! I'm even happier knowing that today's first day sales are even higher than "Bon Voyage", her previous album, first day sales. That totally means kuu's just improving in sales! Go, Kuu! Here's to one very successful week on the charts!

[happiholic★]

So, after having a few songs grow on me, it turns out I only dislike 5 out of 16 tracks on the album. Less than I thought. However, its still a decent chunk and the songs I do like I can't say are her best. Except Dance in the Rain. Its still perfection. Possibly my new favorite Kuu song. Sorry Hana.

Anyway, still waiting on that Live DVD rip. Hopefully its uploaded to a streaming site.

[Tom Punks]

This album is definitely not her best but I'm really happy to see it selling well regardless! So surprised too that its first day outsold Bon Voyage's :O

[abestfah]

I hope its second day also will be not dropped more than Bon Voyage

[ALfromHELLSING]

I'm glad she's at #1. I didn't expect to see her so high, guess it's thanks to 15th anniversary. Congrats Kuu-chan!

Anyway, I'm listening to the album now. It's actually pretty good. I honestly didn't expect to like it at all, I even thought about canceling my iTunes pre-order at some point but I'm glad I didn't.

[sora-kara]

speaking of goodies, did anyone ever upload the fanclub disc from bon voyage? let's party volume 2?

my copy has left japan via tenso! still waiting to have it in my hands to listen to it. all this discussion has me on edge! hahaha

[Gustavopc]

^ I'm not sure if it was uploaded here but I do have the concert in my HD

[Darkifrit]

I don't like the album but i'm glad to see Kumi improved her first day sales.
I hope she will be able to keep this constance.
