Utada promoting This Is The One
|
Artist: Utada Hikaru Product code: UICL-1088 Release date: 2009.03.14 (JP), 2009.05.30 (US) Highest Ranking: #3 Oricon, #69 Billboard 200 Label: Island Records US Version: 3 Bonus Tracks |
With the Japanese market completely wrapped around her finger, J-pop sensation, Utada Hikaru, has been seen to frequently flaunt her creative flair in her music. Having dominated the Oricon charts with virtually every venture during her initial five year tenure, Utada finally decided to break into the American music scene with her first English album, Exodus. Her uninhibited, audacious approach to its production led to an album which despite being fresh, was rather difficult for American audiences to accept and ultimately led to its downfall. Undeterred, five years later, Utada returned for another foray in the American market with her now mainstream-focused, aptly titled, This Is The One.

Hamasaki takes the ‘NEXT LEVEL’ in sales
by on March 3, 2009 · 6 comments ·
Ayumi Hamasaki 'NEXT LEVEL' USB ver.
J-pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki steps into a new era of marketing, offering a limited USB mass storage version of her new album NEXT LEVEL. Hamasaki has always been up to date, setting the latest trends and offering cutting edge releases so it is no surprise she has decided to take this bold step.
CD sales are in a steep decline, so steep that the rising digital sales are not enough to make up for the loss. Many Japanese artists have suffered a decline in overall sales, Hamasaki included. NEXT LEVEL’s USB’s mix of physical presence and digital versatility however, may be a turning point into the market. Could you imagine, having a specially designed flash drive for each album you own?
