Never been much of a Kumi fan, but "KO-SO-KO-SO" is one of the best J-pop songs in my opinion. Ayumi Hamasaki has had a slew of articles promoted to GA status; it'd be nice for the rest of J-divas as well, I suppose. At first read through, the article has some copy edit issues, but nothing that would warrant an immediate failure. The extensive use of liner notes citation is impressive.
Standard lead, nothing groundbreaking. Some repetition, and some in-depth trivia not suitable for an encyclopedia.

The following section is... a lot for a lead. I'd trim it down and incorporate it into the next paragraph.
Again, repetitive. Content is well sourced.
This appears to have stalled. Any way we can get it going again? AIRcorn (talk) 22:37, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
Three singles were released from Japonesque, including one extended play and six promotionalThat adds up to more than three.
In August 2011, it was confirmed by Kumi Koda and her record label Rhythm Zone that she would release a then-upcoming studio album titled Japonesque.Why is it a "then-upcoming". Seems redundant.
with Junichi Shinohara, Makoto Yamadoi, Masahiro Kawata, Takeshi Takizawa, and Takuro Iwamoto. Who are these people? Why are they mentioned?
Koda, Rhythm Zone, and Avex Trax enlisted previous composers and arrangers for the album, such as Bardur Haberg, Mr. Blistah, Gad, Erik Lidbom, amongst others; these composers and arrangers started working with Koda back on Kingdom and further albums onwards.A little convoluted, could probably be tightened.
Koda stated that whilst touring in Vietnam, Singapore, and Taiwan, Korean pop music became hugely recognized within the Asian and Western territories whilst Japanese music was not; she felt that Japonesque "was driven to make an album that would get played abroad and allow people outside of Japan to enjoy J-pop."I think his could be worded better. I am assuming Korean pop music was recognized before she started her tour. Not sure what Western territories means in this context. Whilst used twice. The quote doesn't work with the intro to it, the album is not driven to make an album.
Japonesque is Koda's final studio album after giving birth to her son in July 2012.Not sure what this means. Do you mean final overall because of her sons birth?
First press editions including an obi and a bonus poster.Repeated.
and a clear file of the album cover on the front.Not sure what this means.
and failed to chart on any competent Billboard Japan or the RIAJ Digital Track Chart singles chart.Is competent the right word here?
Koda went on her 2013 Japonesque TourNot a great lead in. It should probably be assumed that she went on the tour. A little bit simplistic for an encyclopaedia. Maybe reword and combine it with the next sentence.
Koda performed a small performance in order to promote her single "Love Me Back".Was this on the Japonesque Tour or the Premium Night Concert tour. It is not clear what a Premium Night Concert tour is.
staying there for an entire week except for SaturdaySo six days? Or is their some significance to the Saturday?
This became the highest selling album by a female artist for first week sales of 2012, but also became Koda's first album to sell less than 100,000 units in its first week of sales; her previous album Dejavu was her last with 132,000 units in its first weekThis feels like a strange conflation. It was also released in January so it is a little misleading, unless it is referring to all of 2012. The last part of the sentence doesn't really tie in either.
It slipped to number four the following week, shifting over 24,000 units in that regionWhat region is this? Same with the next mention.
At the end of 2012, Japonesque sold over 151,343 units in Japan; this ranked the ninth best selling album by a female artist, just behind entries from Adele, Ayaka, JuJu, Superfly, Che'Nelle, Kana Nishino, and Namie Amuro.There are only seven other albums mentioned. Is one missing?
Thats all from me. Sorry it took so long to get this review done. AIRcorn (talk) 09:42, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
