While Mika Nakashima debuted in 2002 and she has 2 million-seller studio-albums

Also

Kumi's best-selling single sold 390,000 copies
While Mika -who debuted 2 years later- has 2 singles selling over 440,000 copies

Kumi is big just not THAT big

Mika debuted in 2001 and went big from the start, while Kuu wasn't big before 2004.
If you're comparing single sales of albums and singles, of course it will look different in certain aspects for every artist.

It was aired already oO

The Showtime PV is so funny & I notice the number 9225 on the jail tagcard Namie hold in the beginning of the PV

92 - her debut year & 25 - her 25th anniversary this year

It can't be a concidence isn't it ?

I don't like Showtime :-/
The jazzy? Brassy? Big band pop hybrid type songs have never been my cup of tea.

She looks cute in the video at least :-p

I didn't like Showtime either Let's see if I change my mind once the full song is out, but I don't think I'll be watching the PV more than once, sadly.

EDIT: Just saw that the full videos were posted, I'll give them a look!

I love Showtime. It's a cute song.
So far Do It For Love is the only new song i don't really care.

The PVs are okay. I like Finally's
I would love to hear longer previews of her recorded old songs. Also i'm curious about In Two and How do you feel now? sound like.


Finally release make me rediscover Damage. Never cared about it at its release but after hearing the song in Okinawa live, i love it now!

^I guess it was on purpose for giving it more weight and I think it works pretty well. What exactly what have the inclusion of her lip-synching giving you? If you don't have a good reason, stop complaining.

Yeah, it bothers me a lot, makes it look recycled to me, like they shot a Visee CM and decided to reuse it putting a song over it and applying slow motion to the shots. But that's my perception and I'm sorry if somehow it offended you, but to me it looked that way, not to say lazy.
