Beni is really doing well with her cover album.  I heard it should outsell Bitter & Sweet soon.

It's pretty amusing that her album of english covers is outselling her original Japanese work 
I'm happy for her though!

depending how many more singles they release this year, I can almost guarantee you it's going to be AKB/relatives, Arashi and KAT-TUN.
I still think it would be great if a total WTF group like Golden Bomber did well though

I still need to listen to the third song, but the masterpiece that's called "Come".  Sounding fresh even though it came out a billion years ago.

No. I seriously have less than $10 in my bank account at the moment, and now my computer charger is broken.  I'll just suck it up and try to listen to the rest on my phone.

That's really not fair to the other songs tbh. You should just wait it out then. Also I don't think Vimeo would work on your phone lmao

I can get most of the songs, except for most of Namie's on Youtube which are unavailable on mobile.  My phone has way better sound quality than my laptop anyways for some reason, so it wouldn't be that bad. Headphones would be better though.

Interesting.
I think the top track from every diva is pretty obvious tbh.
