lol. funny sales. 22k for SCV2, UTB @ #19, Dream charted in the top 20? Obviously something is not right. Plus SDN48 blows all the competition out including YUI, so Oricon is definitely messed up today at least :P Wasn't even aware that charts were coming out today.

Mirrorcle Monster 23rd November 2010 06:57 PM
22k??Excuse me??
I hope it's all that holiday thing

Polyrhythm 23rd November 2010 07:04 PM
^It is. They didn't count preorders apparently (which has me wondering how high SDN48's actual sales are. Interesting for a debut....).

I'm not shocked at all. I posted forever ago the sales of all her albums. Every one sells lower than the previous. I think this means she does need the break.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 23rd November 2010 07:38 PM
^^LOL at your last sentence. Before these new songs, when was the last japanese single?
If anything she needs to be more aggressive with her music if she wants sales like before, imo.

Considering that almost all of her albums have been million sellers, I don't know how 22k doesn't shock you. That's like a fraction of a fraction of what her albums usually sell. By the way, HEART STATION sold more than ULTRA BLUE. :P

Polyrhythm 23rd November 2010 07:42 PM
Her albums never sold a million in a day lol. @_@ Cept maybe SCV1 did....not sure on that. Even if these were actual sales (which they are not since preorders are not counted), it wouldn't be all THAT shocking....if she maintained 20k for the rest of the week....I wouldn't be surprised at the weekly sales.

SPEAKERnight. 23rd November 2010 07:54 PM
Imma wait until the weekly sales chart is out to see if I freak the freak out.

ストロボ・EdGE 23rd November 2010 08:04 PM
Why couldn't she at least promote on TV or do magazines at the very least? I don't understand this girl :no

Is that paella in your avatar? @_______@

Utada Hikaru doesn't strike me as a person to give half a **** about sales let alone a whole one.

Mirrorcle Monster 23rd November 2010 08:32 PM
I would be surprised if she didn't reach 300k in a week, but...

^ Ain't that the truth! :yes Hikki strikes me as someone who just goes with the flow of things na'mean? She seems very nonchalant most of the time in regard to her music career. And I mean that in a respectful way. :D

But yeah, since today was a holiday in Japan I am not surprised with the first day sales. I'm sure this compilation album will sell at least 900k in the long run.

I just can't wait to receive my damn copy. :P


Were these posted yet? If so I apologize.

I received my copy of SC2 from FedEx just now... and Bluegie was right. I had to pay an extra $21.78 for the stupid custom duties and taxes. UGH. Learned my lesson and will NEVER use FedEx anymore. So frustrated.

bluegie 23rd November 2010 10:13 PM
^Wow... $21.78 for the tax and fees? Fedex is getting hungry again :shakehead. I guess we all get our lessons from Fedex. But this is fast, they've already told you the amount of tax+fee the time you received your parcel? Last time it took them a month to mail me that stupid letter.

Did you mark the cd as a gift? If so, I think you can argue with Canada custom because the "gift" (SC2) is less than $60. Anything less than that amount is tax exempted.

I don't know about First Love, but Distance sold 1.6m on the first day, while DEEP RIVER sold over 1 million on the first day as well. SC1 did not tho. It sold about 490K on the first day.

This is very depressing. 22K on the first day for a best album. Does Ken Hirai accidentally share his curse with hikki...?

It's not depressing, because it's NOT THE ACTUAL FIRST DAY SALES. It's a holiday, it's an anomaly, it's not normal, it shouldn't be regarded as normal, there's no problem.

bluegie 23rd November 2010 10:20 PM
I really hope what everyone says is rite. Maybe my fav artists have never released their album during this week in Japan, so I'm not aware of that (consider I've been visiting oricon website since Addicted To You first week sales... and it's shameful to reveal that lol).

well no, not at all. but I still stand by my statement.
it didn't really have anything to do with her as a person.

Polyrhythm 24th November 2010 12:11 AM
I fricken love CDJapan. They gave me free FedEx Shipping (which they said could not be combined with any other special deals)....and then they gave a 500 yen coupon for spending over 5000! LMAO. Guess that's what I'll be using for the new Perfume album.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 24th November 2010 12:24 AM
^^How did you get free shipping?
oh, you must've ordered with paypal.
