Me too.
Miliyah had some good momentum going with 'Ring' but it seems Kana stole all her fans lol.
'HEAVEN' is still doing good but I think it would've done better if Kana hadn't blown up.
but Kana last single was really good so if she can keep it up I think she'll do well.
I wish Beni would stop flopping I love her too much.
Yeh, BENI is amazing. Her songs are all too similar though and "Heaven's Door" was no where as good as her previous singles. Gimme Gimme is amazing though

Yeah thats true. Ring did really well and it seemed as if she was going to really blow up.
Top 3 Female Studio Albums Of 2009
1. Koda Kumi - Trick (393,094)
2. Miliyah Kato - Ring (383,218)
3. Ayumi Hamasaki - Next Level (379,989)
Unless Ayu goes under some drastic image/sound change I don't see her sales ever spiking up again.
At this point it's just her core fanbase that are buying her albums. Her time has passed and this new generation has Kana Nishino now, sad but true.
Ayu has already established herself as one of Japan's greatest so it's not like she has to sell large amounts to prove herself anymore. The same can be said for Utada & Namie.
I greatly appreciate the honest analysis and opinion and def agree with your last paragraph
When I first listened to the song when it was posted here via youtube it was giving me life and I wasn't paying the lyrics any mind even though they were in the YT video until she said "inside me" in english during the chorus and then I was like "what the hell is this song about, knowing koda's ****ty ass...." so I started paying attention to the lyrics
