Agree, and agreed.

On the other hand, with people actually HAVING the singles, I hope a rip of Sunset comes soon...

GORGEOUS Indeed! I LOVE IT!!:luv2

It does sound amazing! I'm glad she used the same melody for both songs! You get such a different perspective on them!

It's rather strange that after Kazuyoshi's work on t2m, we stopped getting extra booklet photos.

I wonder if his being the photographer for the last 5 singles has had anything to do with it.. ["You know what? All of these photos are bad. No extra pictures in the final release!"]

I could careless about the booklet pics if he's the photographer...>_>

Anyways, somehow I getting this feeling that this single will not do so well...like selling less than rule/sparkle. I dunno...maybe coz of 3 splash's sales...the amount of content and the massive appearances didn't help it. Of course I want this single to do well but I'm just gonna keep my expectations low. If it does do better than I expected, I'll just treat it as a bonus. :D

no booklet pics ;(

i like the concept but i don't think making the same melody for both songs is cool or original at all. (sounds a little recycled... u know... in my very humble opinion) i'm a bit disappointed with the preview. and only one remix!!!! No ****ing way i'm getting the single :no And it's true Ayumiko, honestly i don't think this is going to do well...


But hopefully i'll be mistaken :)

definitely. i love the theme of this single.

yeah i have a feeling s/s will be between 100-120k. nothing amazing but still ok sales. but if it seriously sells less than 3 splash i will :thud

Avex might also be saving money by not having any additional photos, cuz less paper will be used. Like how for Next level, instead of putting an insert in, they just used the flip side of the OBI. The economy could slightly be pushing them to save money when they can.

Trust me, I don't think we should be comparing sales between artists.

What about Namie's WILD/Dr. vs. Rule/Sparkle then? That sold about 20k LESS than Ayu's single at the time and she's waaay bigger than Ayu right now.

All Ayu singles have been sold in more than 100k except Poker Face, You and For My Dear... so I don't think this single should flop so much. It would be nice if it would just oversell BLUE BIRD. But I was really suprised because 3 SPLASH had a solid promotion, 3 A-sides (all perfect for Japanese audience and summer) and it floped again and probably won't sell more than 100k. But to be honest Koda's singles don't do as well as Ayu's. And it's hard to compare artists sometimes.

So we'll just see :)
