    Hi. Do you know this chart?
    http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/article/311040091/
    There's an article for every artist in the list... I would love to read the translations, can you help me somehow? Do you have an email contact?

      Hi there.

      I actually never came across the chart before so thanks for that. Unfortunately I don't think I have the time to take care of the translation work for all of those articles, though. If you need to contact me, you can use the contact form at the upper right.

      Take care,
      J

    7 millions for a debut album? Damn, Hikaru is really something! And her first album is really good.

      Pretty darn good indeed. And "First Love" got a lot of heavy play on my stereo for a long time. :)
