third week at n 1 in Japan Im so f-ing happy! It's just like she never left

[willmcclure9]

Perched for 1 million eventually

I wonder what its WW sales would be including digital copies.

[Newt]

She's back at number 1 today

She'll be #2 this week. Maybe even number 1 if she keeps showing an uptick this week (unlikely)

Also 500k is the goalpost at this point. In physical sales

[mathekr]

Her sales always get a good bump on the weekend, I don't think it's unlikely for her to get #1 again, but we'll see.

I'm just getting into this album over the past week and it's pretty good. I'm not really an Utada fan (Ayu, Kuu, Namie >>>) but I recognize how important she is to JPOP.

Michi and Nijikan Dake no Vacance are two of the best songs of her career. Michi might be THE best. The lyrics and production are flawless. I'd love for her to do an english version and call it "You are every song."

Mmm, that's really interesting

Haven't made it past Michi yet. It gives me all of the Glitter-feels and everything I love about upbeat J-pop. She should've saved it for the ending of Kingdom Hearts III because it's everything

Mess @ Nijikan though. I had a period where I liked it a lot but it is definitely the worst on the album.

Michi is so underrated It's way too dance-y/modern for KH, but I do love it. I can't believe you haven't gotten into the rest of it Ore no Kanojo is godly in the way the song changes from verses to chorus. Ningyo is gorgeous. And Jinsei slays now.

I feel like I love the album overall but I can't listen to it on repeat a lot like I can with her previous albums. It's much too somber for repeat casual listening.

That new video should be dropping any day now I guess....

Talent won

I need Teruzane to drop MV3 this week though

[ultrablue]

If she does 1 million

[Prince Tommy]

Arashi released yesterday, there goes her #1 or even maybe #5 this week

I think she'll be top 5

Anyone still interested on the Utada rate?
