Yay, it probably crossed 250K today! ^^

Wow, it's still hanging in the top ten and it's almost been a month! I think with some longevity, 270k, even 280k might not be that far-fetched.

hmmmm~ Ayu`s album selling getting lower and lower each year.
Kinda sad with all of those expensive PV and other stuff.

Of course, but that time will come, sooner or later.

Keep it up!!! Hopefully the release of the game will also promote the album a little considering its theme song will be from the CD :)

^ But it was already said Tales of Xillia theme song will be a completely new song recorded specially for the game...

wow good job Ayu

Good job ayu :) but its gunn a drop tomorrow with the new releases xp it's okay it's still doing amazing!

really nice peak, and good sales, thanks

almost 250!! yaaaay go on go on! 300k aren't so far

2nd Day
Position: #18

Well still on top 20 :D

auch o_O

I'm ok with the numbers.^^

i rly wish it could come back to top 10 on weekly charts :~

but im happy with the sales...

Oh oops. For some reason Ayu's wiki page says the game theme song is an album track... someone should change that :)

Yay I'm excited for new material!

Thanks! that's great =D

I found it on the Love songs page and deleted it. I guess it'd fit better on her main page saying she's writing/wrote something new? But I don't have time to do that right now. XD

so maybe 260-280k total? I'm very happy! I didn't think it'd pass 250k originally. this is probably her last album that ever will so enjoy it guys~

^

i think it will be like that too..

^ agreed unless she does some major promotion with her face plastered all over the place
and every song having a super strong tie in (which is all very unlikely)
then yes it probably is but oh well ;p good job ayu! :D

well hello pessimism.

I don't think that at all.

i think that 260k at least is possible... but not 280k...

and well, she won't promote more this album cuz avex and ayu are ok with the sales.. if they weren't, of course they would promote it more

not really, just being realistic. you can go on expecting her to outsell this album with her next or having a less than 50k drop, but you'll just end up disappointed because there is a very slim chance of that happening.

Ayu's been having a lot of publicity at the beginning of this year, what with her engagement and marriage, and I think it's helped put her back in the mainstream public eye. Rather than a huge drop, I think her next album will have similar sales.

I bet Love songs gained more exposure overseas esp with her marriage news all over. Seems like being in the news really changes a lot of factors. And Love songs is an album that grows on the listener so that might help for the longevity too

now what i rly want is a long and steady chart life...

Hmmm who knows hopefully you guys are rig but time after time we think well maybe this time sales will be higher or not so much lower because of ____ and it always seem to drop or Wtv hopefully though love songs has a long chart life :)

Not happening. AKB48 is releasing an album. Namie is releasing an album. Kumi is releasing an album.

kumi has a lot of chances to sell less than ayu.. i mean, her last album+best album sold only a few thousands more than RNRC and it was a studio album + a best album, of course fans expected more and RNRC was only a studio album... if UNIVERSE wasnt released with the BEST it would surely sold less copies...

By a few you mean over 50 thousands right?

^

do u RLY think that 50k when talking about an album is a big number?

and there's the fact that ayu released A STUDIO ALBUM and koda A STUDIO + BEST ALBUM together... koda should has sold like 500k copies at least, her album + best album sold like a normal studio album....

Um what year do you think we're in? 2008?

Umm BEST ALBUM isn't really a big seller as it used to be lol unless you're really popular or you're the current 'it'.

and yes 50k is a huge number if it isn't then, it wouldn't be a problem for Ayu to sell additional 50k right?

well, let's see then, i doubt she will sell loads like u're meaning ^^ she can sell more than ayu with this new album, but not something like +100k copies...

Agreed. If Dejavu sells more than Love songs it's not gonna be by far. 20-30k tops.

How does that even make sense?

The logic is pretty simple if 50k isn't a bit deal then shouldn't it be easy to sell additional 50k? I'm not insulting anyone but saying 50k isn't huge in today's sales is pretty flawed.

I didn't say that it'll sell tons nor did I say it'll outsell Love songs, all I said was 50k is a lot.

i don't think that if an album outsold other by 50k even nowadays (in japan) we can tell that it outsold the other by a huge number of copies... 50k matters, of course, but isn't THAT HUGE.

You're not insulting anyone, but I think you are wrong. You can only say it shouldn't be hard for someone to sell 50k, not additional 50k as that way it simply doesn't make that much sense, as you can't keep selling additional 50k all the time (depending on how long has the album been on the charts). You could as well say that 1000 copies is a big deal when an album is in it's 15th week and barely selling 50 copies a day. 50k isn't that big deal for the majority of popular artists, for people who barely sell it is. For Ayu who's singles sell around 50k in 2-3 days tops, it still isn't.

^I'm really curious about how much Ayu's next single's gonna sell, I sort of see a big drop. On the other hand she has a good(?) tie-in, so maybe it'll sell a lot, hehe.

BoA's Tales of graces single sold more than her studio album that followed ^^ With some luck and TV promo the single shouldn't have troubles selling over 100k.

Do you mean Mamoritai? It just sold 50k, whereas Identity sold 60k... even so, it did go Gold digitally and her two singles released before and after it just sold 15k, so you definitely have a point :yes

Tales of something tie-ins almost always mean good news : P

4th Day
Position: #12

Almost back in top 10. ^^

Wow. Strong. It's week 5 and still so high. Make's me happy to see. ^_^

^Wow! That is really awesome!!!

Thanks! ^_^

Yeah lol the additional part was unnecessary.

^ What additional part?

Did it? The last time I checked it was around 50k. Oh well the point is, BoA hasn't had a single that sold that well since Sweet Impact and LOVE LETTER (and it outsold both of those).

i hope it could come back to #8 or #9 by monday... i guess it will sell like 5k~7k copies this week

Good peak today !!
Probably if avex releases a "Tales version of the single" (with a pic of the game instead ayu in the cover), ayu is gonna sell more, or at least she is not gonna drop a lot IMO

5th Day
Position: #11

5th Day
Position: #11

(^^) One step at a time~~~

Hahahaha...@Ayumisrael, we post the Love songs' today position at the same time~~Hahahahaha

Yeah hahaha thank you! ^^

respectable amount sold!

i hope for the 10th position tomorrow :D

close to the top 10 !!!

6th Day
Position: #15

Ayu dropped to #15~~But still holding on~~

Keep up Ayu!!! (^^)

ohh huge drop :XX

^Lol not really. For being week 5 #15 is quite good! :D

^^I definitely agree!

not bad

7th Day
Position: #12

^^ UP! UP! and away~~~~Hehehehe

That's great! This album is a chart fighter!

seriously

5th Week
Position: #17
Official Sales: 5,702
Official Total Sales: 255,140

6th Week

1st Day
Position: #9

NICE!!! thanks!

Why is it so low in position if it was above 17 for 6 / 7 days? And nice number 9:)

^First day of the week is always low(high?). Just look at the other weeks and you will see.

Because the first few days are what matter the most. That's when new releases sell their highest numbers.

Even if Ayu beat some of the others the past few days, they probably still sold more in total.

YAY! Back in top 10! ^.^

Wow...

you can see that by Dream ON, it was #1 only for 2 days if i remember and got #1 on weekly :D

and oh, i expected a few more copies.. but it's ok :D

Yay....

260k is possible....

Go Ayu!!!

its nice to see that the album did well in the charts. ^o^ .

Sadly hmv & amazon sales are not counted.

rly??

Woah D: I'm impressed by Love songs's life chart.

I don't know about amazon but I'm sure HMV's sales are definitely counted, they're a big music seller in Japan.

What were you expecting? For it to chart 4 weeks and suddenly drop off? 0_o Rock'n'Roll Circus had a fairly long chart life so this should be no surprise....

nice, now go for 260 k

we're getting closer..come come 300k!

I always knew it's not gonna sell as much as Rock'n'Roll Circus did. If it reaches 300K, I'd be happy, and not disappointed. :D

I am not being negative, but that's not gonna happen.

We'd do better to reach for 280k, I think : P

2nd Day
Position: #30

Ouk! it already pass 250k, yeiiii~
hope it can reach at least 270k or less.

ouch :~

Wow, huge drop today U.u' this week will surpase 260k, 270k are near, go for 280k

amazon.jp's sales count towards Oricon.

Well of course there's a huge drop, there's finally some serious new competition in the album charts : D

I don't think the album will manage to sell another 5k this week. Most likely 3-4k tops.

^
me too..

is it out of TOP 30 today?

Yes

4th Day
Position: #27


(^_-) Good Job Ayu!!!! Ganbatte!!!!! Going UPPPPPPP!!!!

Keep going up!!

nice, she still alive in the top 30

5th Day
Position: #27

At least it didn't go down!

position doesn't really matter on oricon after the first week, just the sales imo.
