So I actually really think Utada is gonna flop with SCV2.
When it was first announced I thought it would SMASH but now
Also why is she releasing an english best album on the same day? Does she want double the flop?
Totally agreed. As much as we dragged her she DID have a shot at doing 600-750k first week with 2x Million in accordance with the RIAJ at the end. But now it really does not look like it will smash and is looking like a huge bomb. And this time I'm saying this without any stan bias or hate whatsoever. I predict 250-300k first week and about 500-600k total at this point.
Well, now that I think about it...if I were her, I would just leave forever.
I mean, when she comes back, no one's gonna give a **** about her so there's no reason to bother. She's just no interested in music anymore.
Yeah exactly. One of the prime reasons for Ami Suzuki's unfortunate downfall is not all on her blacklisting but the fact she had to wait 5 years to release a new album. 2-3 years is usually a career killer for most people in J-Pop but not even the biggest superstar can afford 4-5 years off.
