Isn't it kind of unfair to compare Mari's album sales (1983-87) to someone who hasn't even made her first album yet...? I thought megumi's first single sucked, but the second was better. If she keeps getting better material, her first album should be worthwhile at least.
Plus, Mari's a different type of idol, since she has always written her own songs.
And where did you get the information about Mari's album sales? I love her music dearly, but I've always been under the impression that her albums have had middling sales figures. She was semi-big...but if you look at '80s idol compilations, she's rarely on them.
