I think it is lack of promotion. She gets her singles to be theme songs and such... but as far as I know she never really goes on any of the big tv shows to promote her singles/albums. Her album sales are slowly going down, but her concerts are still doing amazing (and thats where the big money is anyways).

Royal Chocolate Flush is an amazing song, you should check out her EiGHth WORlD and ASCENSION albums... they are both so amazing. Her older stuff is, IMO, very good... but her newer stuff just has something about it that makes it better. I don't know exactly what it is lol

[Amai Yume]

Yes, I second the vote for Eighth World!

If you like very danceable R&B tracks then I definitely recommend EIGHTH WORLD. If you like ballads and pop songs that are really vocally expressive, then I recommend SINGER FOR SINGER (my favorite MISIA album). If you want a good mix of both, then I say go with ASCENSION. All three albums are fantastic and there isn't much wrong you can do in listening to any of MISIA's albums (unless it's the extremely dull MARS & ROSES).

mee-see-ah or mi-syaa?

Mee-sha (I think that's what you meant by the second option)

[prussian blue]

^ yeah

ooo ok mee-sha~

i'm listening to ishindeshin now~

what a song!!

[Meat Pao]

It's a pity Eighth World sold less than what it deserved and i want to see MISIA appear on Music Station or something T.T

[TITANIC]

umm but at least eight world sold more than 100K
that's good

[AyuGAME]

i think misia is really independent artist
from what i know she RARELY (VERY RARE) appear on tv...i dunno why...
but she like live in her own world

[prussian blue]

and she doent let out her face too...

very rare until these decad~ eight world and the new single

[bondingo]

Yeah, MISIA never performs live on television. That's why her concerts are so revered, sine it's the only way to see that amazing voice live.

[Fitst]

MARS & ROSES is a very good album, its it her most solid? no. But its still a good album.

If you guys want to know more about MISIA, there are a few of us over at floppop.com in the Jpop section. The guy who got me into MISIA actully posts there, and he is fabulous when it comes to uploading stuff for people =)

[se7entheaven]

I have ASCENSION also LOL
but never listen anymore
I love LUV PARADE the most
it can make me SMILE !!!!!

I havent bought EIGHT WORLD
maybe just DL coz i'm not really really into her

but I admit she's a REAL singer ^^

I have her Tour DVD and she sings ALMOST 100% CD Quality...u can even think she lipsync

and for her never perform in TV
that's to keep her mysterious image since she debuted

[prussian blue]

^but her mysterius image had gone after the release of eight world and .... the new single (forgot the name><)

i enjoy her tour~ it was sooo fabulous and the stage is never let us down~
