I believe something like Shikureto or Shiikureto?

I believe that Ayus album will have a lot higher first few weeks, while Kodas chart run sales will be more evenly split on more weeks.

i think the right way is Shikuretto

btw i voted for kuu

Compared to 8 A-sides with (m)u or 7 A-sides + 2 B-sides for BoA's OUTGROW (I counted First snow as an A-side)...

AYU AYU AYU...Koda koda koda..

I actually picked Mika because of the NANA tie-in, but... I don't honestly care who sells the most. I like all three of them a lot, hope they all do well, and plan on (eventually) buying all three albums anyway (I might make Black Cherry my first Kuu album instead of BEST~second sessions~ as originally planned, and depending on how good Mika's is... well, I'm gonna buy her stuff soon anyway since I like her music a lot, just dunno in what order).

[emi♡]

Kuu will sell more right off...

Ayu will sell more than Mika for a year or so...

but over a very very long period of time...I think Mika's will sell more than ayu's...but by then no one will care...

both will beat kuu eventually.

[Ayumiko]

I think black cherry will sell more out of the three....Secret and The End...I have no idea which one will sell more...especially knowing that The End will be the first and last Nana album...Secret...I dont know...I would like it to sell decently but even if it comes in the third place, I dont mind at all. Ill probably enjoy it the most out of the three.

I agree. That is why new artists get tons of promotion, to introduce the artist to ever face in the nation, the ones who get caught will get caught and stay caught for a certain amount of time. Extreme promotion isn't needed when everyone already knows about an artist.

I don't know, I doubt the double 't' very much.

[bondingo]

I'm pretty sure that Black Cherry will sell the most, which doesn't bother me at all. After that though, I hope Secret sells more than THE END because I can't stand Mika Nakashima

[Scentless Apprentice]

I don't know.........

[immel]

I believe the NANA one is the one with the highest chance of breaking the million, considering it's the only one with a huge tie-in.

[shadow*puppet]

sorry... only wishful thinking from mika fans will make her album sell a lot No offense! also, mika's voice hasn't improved... unlike kuu and ayu...

most: kumi koda (1,200,000)
least: mika nakashima (400,000)

the right way is... shi-ku-re-to. I've seen it

[immel]

I'm in very strong doubt that BLACK CHERRY would sell that much, considering that's around as much as BEST second session sold. BLACK CHERRY isn't a BEST album.

[shadow*puppet]

well, we'll see immel I bet you my pink ballet shoes... ha ha ha

I predict at least a million for kuu.... and I predict mika's will not sell as well as even her music...

I know, mine was done for fun and without references to katakana or anything.

Second session sold like 1.8 million, not 1.2. I wouldn't say that a 600K difference would qualify as "around." 1.2 million sounds like a reasonable total sales number for BC. For Secret, that would be pushing it.

[c_zou1987]

Black Cherry I think would sell around 1.2 million, Secret will sell 800-900k, THE END will sell around 400k. I don't think it can even compete with the other two.

[immel]

@tobygirl2020 - True, had the numbers a bit mixed up in my head. Thanks for correcting me, I agree that doesn't qualify very much as "around" at all .

I hadn't even given THE END any thought, but I'm unsure of how that will do. We'll have to see how well recieved Mika's new Nana single is recieved, I think.

No problem.

[JimmyKoria]

The songs from Nana are pretty weak. I seriously cant stand them. GS was really great but the newer songs, meh. I'm also not a huge Nakashima fan so I can't really place my opinion on her. I haven't heard anything new from Kumi, in fact I'd only known that she had relesed one single this year.

I'm still kind of pulling for secret, I mean after My Story I was disapointed like no other but MU wasn't so bad so I kind have some hope.

[Mad_Cactuar]

Well, there's 4 Hot Wave, Yume no Uta and Cherry Girl. 3 singles, while Ayu has 2 out. Or 8 A-sides versus Ayu's 4.

Y'know, Ayu might also be the winner, maybe people just want new material.
