You also see more and more songs getting the gold/platinum (100k/250k) PC download certification.

Damn you sure pulled out those receipts.

We used the Top 10 songs on last-fm to select songs from each diva to be used in this rate. Last-fm pretty much represents what the overseas fans like and so I was wondering what the list would look like if it was looked at from a Japanese fan point of view. Here are the Top 10 most popular songs on iTunes Japan for each of the 4 divas. ITunes may not be a huge digital retailer in Japan but I think it gives an interesting look on what the Japanese fans may prefer compared to the overseas fanbases.


AYUMI HAMASAKI

LMFAO @ Ayumi's songs. Half of them are just terrible

The other half are masterpieces though.

As expected, Crystal Kay's Forever single failed to chart in the Top 100, selling less than 700 copies.

When will they get the hint and send her off to debut here in America?

Honestly by now that'd be her best bet. At least she's flopping with good music though.

She releasing a new album titled 'Uncontrolled' on June 27th which is where the new music is coming from.
Anyway, the full "In The Spotlight" video is on JPopSuki. Will post here when we get a youtube or dailymotion link.

"In The Spotlight" is so much better than "ONLY YOU". I was expecting to be more slayed though All the English is really unnecessary tbh.

"In The Spotlight (TOKYO)" music video:
http://www.yinyuetai.com/video/436893

While it is disappointing she didn't do any choreo I can't say I'm mad at her for switching it up.
Practically all her videos for her uptempo songs consist of choreography, her last two videos ("Go Round" & "YEAH-OH") were str8 up choreography throughout so it's not like she never give us choreo.

As for the video, I love how it actually highlighted the city of Tokyo itself and Namie's styling was perfection!
