Do you think Utada's SCV2 can become Oricon 2010's #1 yearly album?
She's got to outdo Arashi's "Scenery I Beheld" by at least 1.25 or so million for the grand crown, with a short time to do so!...
Of course! Its got grandiose commercial potential just like SCV1...
"Best of" albums always do well in Japan; Hikki's will do earthshaking phenomenal!
She's just gotta outsell Arashi, nobody should top Utada at her 'best' (pun intended)...
She's got a mere five weeks to do it, but I'm confident in her ability to do outdo all the other J-pop roster a fifth time!
I don't, it's a different industry, and Japan music audiences are fickle. Gotta' 'wait & see'; ~risk~ getting suprised...
All this promotion and great new music/video/photoshoots and other first-press goodies, she can't lose it!; it'd be a slap in her face if those demogrpahics didn't bring commercial pain via credit,check, or cash!
Who honestly cares, as long as it does well in it own right. We know she's one of the all-time greats anyway!
Oh please, she can outdo them in the first week, hands tied behind her back...
Second, and certainly third and below best is not enough with this; buy that physical version Japanese and Asian fans!
I just wish I had the darn thing right now (and the In The Flesh Tour on DVD)...
