The more I listen to Mirrorcle World, the more I like it. :) I hope it doesn't drop too much too fast in the charts.

I also can't wait to see/hear what Ayumi comes up with next. Something like Mirrorcle World? Something like Life?

I want something like inspire. Really cool summer song without being too sappy.

Woot! Go Ayu!

Both Mirrorcle World and 60s70s80s were dropped from the top 50.
Almost Thelma's single as well.

OMG.. that's amazing.. it turned back to top 40...
even higher than last week

ne1 know today's rank?

Out of the top 50 so I think we can't know daily ranks that are out of the top 50...
Hopefully it will be back to the top 50 though!

^ oh really?
soooo if its not in top 50 then there wont be a ranking? =(
dayum!!!
thanks for the info though

woo...still on the top 40..cool

there is a ranking but you have to subscribe to oricon. usually you can only find the top 50 daily rankings on the web.

Out of the Top50? :(
Aww. I hope it goes up again.

Are singles are charted until top 300 like albums? I guess it's expected anyway. By right it should be pushed down roughly 20 places for the next few days in lieu of the new single releases.

Singles have only top 200.

ummm subscribe to Oricon...nahhh i really cant be bothered hahas

umm just wondering wat did u mean by that? =S

Anyone here subscribes to oricon lol..? What's the fee?

^ you don't have to pay do u?
i thought it was just a subscribing thingo like...
subscribing to youtube or...ahs typa thing?
lols

If that was so, wouldn't more people have subscribed then? Or maybe it's all in japanese n we'd b lost in translation.

wow o.0
after few weeks still remain top :D
good good~

yeaaa thats wat i thought
coz some japanese sites hare hardcore flash and images as menu's instead of text
and google/babel can't translate imaged text as they see them as images lols

nothing, its just so cool that MW doing so good, its deserve a good sales...

I was hoping someone here knows japanese who subscribes to oricon. But it's ok i guess. At this point we can probably agar-ate the total sales figure.

relax :) this is only the 7th week, even talkin' 2 myself charted for 10 weeks, and glitter/fated for eleven ^^. I am sure MW can at least chart for another 3. Selling around 190k in total.

^Yup that sounds about right.

Does anyone knows the latest daily ranking?

Is MW phased out on charts?!? :-S

^ it's out of top 50 atm
but hopefully it'll go back in xD

at least it still on top 200 :D
weekly sales will be announced tuesday.

^ yay 2mrws =D

Yay!!! Thanks a bunch riozz!
I can't wait to see the weekly result!

Im sure MW WILL defeat Startin'/Born To Be...'s finale sales!

7th Week First Day: #35
7th Week Seventh Day: #46

The rest is unknown XD

Most likely was in the top 70-60 the whole week.

Mirrorcle World 7th Week

Poisiton: #75
Sales: 1,538
Total Sales: 188,047

550 Copies to outsell Startin'/Born To Be... this week's decrease is just 250 XDDDD

^
I think that MW will break the 190 mark in 2 weeks ^^

WOOT only decrese 2K... this is amazing job for MW.. congratulation.. i'm sure it can hit 190K

btw until now, MW got #13 for top sales single

That's great thanks!!!

I hope it can be on top 20 best selling singles of 2008 until the end of the year.

^ top 20...that may be quite hard but lets just hope thats the outcome =D
and ranking at #75 aint that bad considering was released nearly 2 months ago =D

just 11953 copies to 200000k! lol it'll take..100weeks? with 1k per week? :weep

Woot, it's still charting? :0 Awesome. I thought it had dropped out of the chart already. Well, that's good for Ayu. :)

i believe it can pass startin born to be...200k is not impossible too

Boaah Its very good charting ... MW Got Startin/Born to be ... in 1 week

hopefully but i'm not sure it can

of course.. it's just 7 weeks on chart.. t2ms 10 weeks on chart and glitter/fated 11 weeks on chart

Well the singles chart has 200 positions and as last week it was just #57 of course it would keep charting =P
ayu's drops aren't big enough to suddenly stop charting luckily lol.

NO.. last week got #47 :D

LOL 47* sorry >_< clicked the wrong number.

Well it is safe to say that it will sell 190 k XD 200k is a bit hard as it would have to chart for at least 6-7 weeks with the sales not going under 1.5 k/week.

OMGOSH!!!

It will OUTSELL "Startin'/Born To Be..." single!!!
Ganbatte MW!!!

Thanks for the latest update! ^^,

^ Don't forget Kuu-chan's MOON single that will release within next week!

^ not sure it can sell more than 145K in first week

^ Im quite expecting that one! ^^,

Its gonna be interesting, Moon Crying is a pretty boring song but the whole Fergie-thingy in That aint cool will surley put the sale numbers up.
Wellwell, Im still hoping for MW to reach 190k. ^^

GO MW!!!! U can do that! Another miracle has to happen "^-^%

YAY! Neat sales! It really is [probably] going to outsell Starin'/Born to be... after all!
*o(=^-^=)o* <~cheering!

It's a shame it [probably] won't reach 200k, but oh well! Maybe this year's summer single...

Thanks for the info! I'm surprised it got pushed back 30 positions but the number is not that bad at all. Maybe the weekend concerts helped. Yes it will outsell startin/born to be! And the summer single better top that :mischief

total sales 2008 until this week

GUILTY : 568,288
A BEST II ~Black~ : 4,304
A BEST II ~White~ : 5,257
Ayu-mi-x VI ~GOLD~ : 35,776
Ayu-mi-x VI ~SILVER~ : 32,967
Mirrorcle World : 188,047
Asia Tour Of Secret DVD 2007 : 65,410

Total sales : 900,049

yaiiyy.. 100K to million copies..
EDIT : not sure about Secret tour latest sales

Wow, the sales this year are great! ^_^
And MW is doing great as well! Can't wait to see it beating S/Btb... \o/

this year's sales very weak for ayu
2007 sales more than 1,8million copies

i think she will release 2 more single, she absolutely will get a million for this year too

^ of course she can.. at least CDL 2007-2008 sell 50K then need 50K for next single is enough to hit million copies

But Mirrorcle World sold more than glitter/fated, t2m and this week it will more than 2006's Startin'/Born To Be...

ayu's single sales are stronger, album sales are normal (since GUILTY had no really big decrease from Secret just 98,000 mare copies), last year A BEST 2 -BLACK- & A BEST 2 -WHITE- brought a lot of copies sold XD

But last year she released 2 best albums (that normally sell a lot).. This year's sales probably won't be as big as last year's because of this fact, but there are more releases coming, so there's a lot to increase! ^^'

I don't think sales should be compared by year. Like 2006 u have her (miss)understood album n 1st week of secret album which is half of the secret sales.. Maybe it should be on a single-single, album-album basis. Like Guilty and 2007 asia tour, it's lagging compared to secret n miss(understood) tour. But for MW, it's an improvement compared to glitter/fated n t2m :)

It's still not out so there is no point in adding it to the list ^^ obviously. Plus the last 3 singles she released didn't or barely did hit 100 k in the end. Even FREAKY sold only 108 k in it's initial week. So I wouldn't be expecting it to sell that high.

And don't forget that this week it's going to outsell Startin'/Born To Be... as well XD

Thanks for the info.
The Chart is updated.

Thx for the update CHAS_AYU !
505 copies to go to outsell S/Btb ... and that will happen soon !!


Btw, Hikki's new single Prisoner of Love is selling really low, just 38902 copies on it 1st initial week!!

Prisoner Of Love was a complete re-cut, with a -Quiet Version- and some instrumentals thrown in. All in all, still a re-cut. Mirrorcle World was an extended version of Mirror, and it also had Life and new versions of YOU and Depend on you. It deserves to sell better than Prisoner Of Love.

Yeah but didn't something like this happen to beautiful world/kiss or cry? And in the end it was a platinum selling single. She has a much longer charting life than ayu. That's why for ayu, it's really important she sells as much as possible during the 1st week. Guess that's why for t2m, many of us were dismayed at the 1st week sales figures.

I was surprised because my friend said she had to 'hunt' to find MW for me in Tokyo HMV. She said she couldn't find it in Tower Records so either the stores aren't displaying them or avex isn't shipping it. So it's a little like the chicken or the egg. I was wondering whether low sales are because of lack of shelf space or vice versa.

It's been almost two months since it was released...maybe that might have something to do with it?

Small update!

Mirrorcle World's 7th Week's positions: (since they weren't known)
1st Day: #35
2nd Day: #66
3rd Day: #79
4th Day: #61
5th Day: #47
6th Day: #43
7th Day: #46

And now the 8th Week's:

1st Day: #45
2nd Day: #62
3rd Day: (unkown)
4th Day: (unkown)
5th Day: (unkown)
6th Day:
7th Day:

It seems though the 8th week might chart better than the 7th week!
The 1st days determine nothing, mainly the 2nd to 4th days are!

yaiiyy BIG thanks for the update ayumisrael..
unknown means out from top 100 or?

It means that it might still be on top 100, I just didn't get info about the positions yet (if I will at all). XD

8th Week Sales:

*88 **1,053 浜崎あゆみ

Total sales so far: 189100

MW has now outsold Startin/Born To be by 549 copies and will probably hit the 190k mark next week ^^

Mirrorcle World's 8th Week

Position: #88
Sales: 1,053
8 Weeks Total Sales: 189,100

Mirrorcle World Outsold, glitter/fated, talkin' 2 myself and Startin'/Born To Be... at last :D

yaiiy.. hit 190K next week and outsold startin'/born to be
thanks for the update empry and ayumisrael

JAAAY congrats MW! ^^

While I agree with you (and mostly because I thought the PoL song was horrible) I just have to say that didn't Ayu do a re-take version of "YOU" about 5 years ago for her A BALLADS disc? So really the only "new" material was Depend on you, Life and the beginning and latter halves of Mirrorcle World.

... Still think it deserves to sell more than PoL, though XD

^Well Depend on you had new vocals on A BEST as well if it counts lol =P
So both songs are like on 2 of her albums (Depend on you - A Song for xx & A BEST, YOU - A Song for xx & A BALLADS).

btw guys, do you know sales FREAKY?
i hope MW can outsell it

195,322, I don't think it will outsell it but FREAKY had 4 new songs and was promoted (on TV or CMs or PVs) by the 4 of them so I think that Mirrorcle World's fit is already awesome and even better, almost getting FREAKY's sales with just the song promotion of Mirrorcle World the song itself.

I mean kumi sang FREAKY, sora and girls on TV, Run For Your Life had a PV.
Mirrorcle World was just sanged twice on TV. Life has no PV.
Both singles has multiple versions, first presses etc.

What makes me think that if Life had a PV Mirrorcle World would sell above 200,000 already 1 week or 2 ago.

^so,MW just sold a little bit less than FREAKY......but MW is still selling so it might outsell FREAKY....

Hmm, nah Im doubtful for that... It would be awesome tough!
And come to think about it, its amazing that MW sold so much it have already! I mean, Life was the only WHOLE new song on the single. I tought that many wouldnt buy MW just beacuse they feelt like they already have heard it (mirror)...

YAY!!!

YAAAAAAY!!!:syeah:syeah:syeah

At last! MW REALLY outsold Startin'/Born To Be...!!!
Im really sure it will reach the 190k mark this week if it maintain its 1k sales for the next few days! :D

Thanks for the update!!!

omg!! i hope it reaches 200,000!!

Whoa these sales are really close to WHATEVER.

WHATEVER's sales are 189,610 o_o. MW will pass it this week though :3

oww. ic ic..
i got your analize about this..
yah at least MW doing very well for this year.. :D

1st day : 45
second day : 62
third day : 102
fourth day : 66
fifth day : 93
sixth day : 90
seventh day : 83
