So bad that Takako had a long hiatus after Galaxy Legend release ¬¬ her sales no were bad, specially her releases with Ryuichi Kawamura as her producer but then she was needing a new challenge in her career and she was starting to work with other producers, she did good elections but her audience no had same answer.

depart album was release many years after her hiatus with lack of promo so I'm not really surprised of number of sales (I still need to get my copy because I love both covers and new song included in album)

yeah. sooooooo scary to see depart sales but Taka is only SPEED member who could reach top #1 oricon chart for my first love single
Although hiro sold better than taka but she never got #1 oricon chart

yeah!! my first love was a big hit in Japan ^^

I want that Takako keeps releasing solo stuff, I wonder if at least she will included some solo songs in SPEED's future releases or also digital singles like Eriko did it. :*haappy*:

^ agreed.
if they're going solo then I dont care about their sales but if it's "SPEED" then I care.

I want taka's solo song sooooooooooooooo bad

my first love was a big hit in japan but her album wasnt

Yeah, I even still sing my first love in karaoke with my friends whenever I have the chance to promote her. XDD

BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA actually sold better than Air and Make-up Shadow? Interesting. :P When taking the time in account, the sale should decrease over time. Perhaps the second reunion of SPEED did help pulling the sale of BLUE LIGHT YOKOHAMA up a bit.
