Putting stanning aside, I really hope that the conclusion isn't less people like her.

I AM glad that if this situation does occur, Utada is making her exist at the right moment. She will come back stronger than ever with something new and different. "There's a whole new land"

I wonder how long it will take Ayumi to take the hint

I hate having the last post on a page

Oricon Daily Singles - November 17th
#21 Suki De, Suki De, Suki De
#28 crossroads

Suki De has been much higher then crossroads for the whole week so far. It looks like it will have a better chart life then GC and crossroads. Hopefully Suki De will reach 80-90k total.

Sorry Newt but if she takes a 3-5 year rest no one will care about her when she comes back just like it happened to Christina

No offence Newt but this IS the true tea. When Hikki comes back in 2013/2014 most likely she will flop harder than Christina did.

Oh, Ayu.

I find it odd that Koda and Ayumi are selling so little. No shade, but Britfan is HOPING that Suki De will reach 80-90k. That's not even Gold What is happening to our precious Japanese Music Industry

Oricon needs to hurry the **** up and jump on the digital train

I am pretty sure that is false. As long as it is promoted correctly and she gets her name out again, considering her legacy she will be fine. I doubt she will pull Distance or Deep River numbers again but she is here to stay.

As I said before, a lot of Utada fans and stans are extremely patient in the long run. Even if it is 3-5 years

Don't even joke about that **** Itsuky, Utada isn't going to pull an Xtina

Are these predicted total album sales or first-week ?

There is no way 50 k will be Utada's total sales

Stanism aside I do think that Ayu will unfortunately continue to decline. I see things switching up between Kuu and Namie for the next few years but with Ayu I personally only see her declining with each album. I mean honestly her next album will probably end up selling 270-280k total if she's lucky.

I'm not joking, I'm just being realistic. New artists will come out while Utada is gone and some of her fans will get tired of waiting so they'll move on to another singer. I'm pretty sure you'll end up doing it too. (I know I would)

I think so too...I hope not though. But I don't really care as long as she keeps making music.

Newt you do know that in Japan even a 6 month to 1 year break without any singles or albums alone can be a career killer for even the biggest of artists?

You do realize that out of all of the Diva's Utada takes the longest ass breaks before doing anything at all. There is a reason everyone calls her lazy. If Singles Collection V.2 does badly then your point is proven.

Not really. In 2009 she had This Is The One released which means she still had music out and she herself was still out there regardless of how it sold. The true test of Hikki's power will be when her next studio comes out which will be no earlier then 2013.

I will move on to other people but the second Utada is back, I will loyally follow as will many people. I don't think you realize how obsessed Utada stans are.

I do see your point though,

Its not the same. And I am not referring to only the 2008-2010 gap. I'm talking entire career wise

She still released at least one single or a new track each year in some form. But we'll see Newt.
