MIZUKI NANA IS ORICON #1 AGAIN!! XD XD
That’s ULTIMATE DIAMOND at 24430 you’re seeing.
ALMOST TWENTY F**CKING FIVE THOUSAND COPIES SOLD.
I’m actually feelin’ a bit sick today (er, food-poisoning kind of sick, not swine flu), but this news completely heal me better than anything else could!
…though now I feel so ashamed to only buy one (for now). But with that awesome number, I guess she already pwn this week anyway, right? xD
The rumoured winner Black Eyed Peas’ new album couldn’t even make it to 10k LOL.
BANZAI, BANZAI, BANZAI!! =D =D
banzai!
nana pawaa!
It’s a good CD, and her fanbase is larger than ever. Good job…
yeah!!! viva nana-chan!!!!!!!!
now i’m afraid my friend failed to secure the store bonuses i wanted…>.>
I’m having mixed feelings about this album. It’s not a bad album, there are some noteworthy songs, but it really is a weird mix. And I can’t decide if there were too much or too little thoughts put into it during production. It’s too experimental, and not a solid album like Great Activity was.
Still, it’s rather refreshing being exposed to so many different Nana music styles at once, and I can’t really complain about the Oricon #1.
3 cheers and 3 cheers for nana! hip hip hooray~hip hip hooray~hiphip hOOray~!
hip hip OOrra hip HiP JuRRa…heeP hePP uuRRaAaa!!!!!
MMMMMMDE CD IS IN THE TOP…AJUA……
anony you has the reason……..tis is a experimental album….(etsuraku amellia, gimik game…maria and joker)….an the trobles wilove was the worst, but……….i dont now…….is a good CD
8/10
@anony mouse yeah, i got to admit that i still prefer great activity to ultimate diamond
But again, ultimate diamond already has great songs, making great activity having even better songs
no live Trickster/DISCOTHEQUE though =((
I hope she can maintain this for the weekly chart!
Since Great Activity sold some 43k in its first week, I’d expect Ultimate Diamond to be around that number as well. And if that number keeps up the chances of Nana getting first for the week would be pretty great.
Actually speaking of the sales number, if Ultimate Diamond was released on schedule, a quick check on the Oricon charts shows that it probably wouldn’t have gotten number 1 (eminem’s album sold 47k for the week, and the next up is enka singer Hikawa Hiyoshi who sold 42k, so Nana would probably had gotten second on that week). So maybe the whole drug scandel would turn out to be a good thing afterall as it pitched Nana’s album to much weaker opponents. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that Nana would be the first seiyuu singer to be ranked first on the Oricon weekly.
yeah !! go nana-sama go !!
it would be great if she gets in the weekly oricon charts. <33
I think 24,000 in a day is REALLY good. You get that for a whole week for other seiyuus like Yukarin or Hirano Aya (if my memory serves me right). Day two she did 16,781. That totals to 41,211. She’ll almost definately get first this week. Even if it is released on the original week, it could still get first. If 2 days already made it to 41k, she can easily sell more then 47k.
The bonus DVD was just plain hilarious, lots of anime/otaku reference. Calling Nana ‘ginga no uta-hime’. Oh they made loads of jokes about Nana’s height too, for once she didn’t wear high heels (Nana…I feel your pain, I’m shorter then you). The two enka songs she did was obviously performed perfectly, since she was trained in that since she’s five. But it does sound REALLY hard to sing.
Spoilers! I’m still waiting for my CD to arrive. Should be here by tomorrow or the day after!
2nd day is still 16k? wow, thank goodness my friend already secured all 3 albums yesterday
uh, i still need to wait until the concert before i get hold of the CD & DVD T_T
After a few listens, I can say this IS a good album, but the thing that dissapoints me a little is that most of the new songs aren’t as good as the ones we previously knew on singles, and that lowers the score for me: an album must feature songs that aren’t suited as singles but nonetheless get better and better after each listen…I dunno, I guess Ultimate Diamond doesn’t work as well as a whole as previous nana albums did. I do like it anyway, of course.
Here’s my ranking:
Songs I loved:
Trickster
Shin Ai
Astrogation
Etsuraku Camellia (the only new song I really loved)
Dancing in the velvet moon (well, I actually love this one live, with drums)
Songs I really liked:
Maria & Joker
Chimoku no Kajitsu (not as epic as other epic songs of her)
Brand New Tops (yeah the wo wo thing is annonying)
Ray of Change
Aoki Hikari no Hate (if this song was a little more rockish, I would love it)
Songs that weren’t bad but missed something:
Perfect Smile
Mr Bunny
Shonen
Didn’t care for:
Gimmick Game (outdated and repetitive, and this is coming from someone who likes retro sounds)
Yume wo Tsuzuki (although I love her vocal performance)
Too bad Discotheque wasn’t included, I think it’s a REALLY good song, even if a little silly.

8035 on the 3rd day, total of 49,246. awesome!
lol yeah I was gonna say that too, 49K IN 3 DAYS!! Eat that Black Eyed Peas and houkoholic *runs* xD so even if she did release UD in the original date (2 weeks ago), she’d have pwned eminem’s ass too.
I think it’s safe to say she gonna make history by next Tuesday when the weekly rank is out.. when all the small stores and online stores are counted too.. cos CDJapan and Amazon are already out of stock~ XD
oh? this count is only for big stores? wow, can’t even predict how much the number would be XD

the weekly is out! 74206 copies sold out in a week
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/
….tho it’s sinking down like crap now.. but whatever, she made a history!
my friend in Nagoya told me that he couldn’t find ultimate diamond in any of the big stores, maybe the reason for sinking is because it’s almost sold out?
[...] is GOOD NEWS. Look at the number, 35,292 copies were bought yesterday. Last year, ULTIMATE DIAMOND sold 24,430 copies on the first day. So IMPACT EXCITER got 11k extra… 50% [...]
