Too bad we have to settle for some forgettable release
The fan base will be ridiculed by some, I tell you.

Hoping for #1 regardless!

Well, you'll never know what will happen, but yeah, we might be pretty surprised - last four "core" releases (PQ album, A SUMMER BEST, two mini-albums) not #1, then a remix album #1 - that's just: :shakehead

Can you post exactly what she said? That's nice to read.

Chibi-Chan 8th January 2013 06:40 PM

^I second that!

FoObY 8th January 2013 08:10 PM

^ ayu probably didn't even expect it to reach #1!

RealLight 8th January 2013 08:26 PM

Dead, didn't expect this at all. :laugh Congrats Ayu, let's see if it can get #1 for the week. :D

mizuki-7 8th January 2013 08:35 PM

Really?! That's awesome! I'm guessing the Japanese fans were wanting a new classical album as much as we were :D

rakeru 8th January 2013 09:30 PM

Yay, #1! I didn't actually expect that, but I'm more than happy!

TITANIC 8th January 2013 09:36 PM

well if the new releases dont sell above 10K then im confidence to say she will get #1. how ironic a remix album got #1 while her 2 minis not even in top 3.

Bad Wolf 9th January 2013 01:19 AM

The minis didn't sell THAT poorly did they? O_o I thought they at least made the top 5.

TeamAyu2004 9th January 2013 01:21 AM

^ they did... the numbers were a little less then desirable.

I think LOVE made top five but again was like #7 or so?

LOVE had to go against two JUJU best albums (100k~ each) and an ARASHI 2nd week (97k), while again was up against two YUI best albums (115k~ each), a Mr. Children album (not first week, 82k), a Yumi Matsutoya best that is a super good value (not first week, 74k), and an EXILE best album (380k). again was also outsold by the BIGBANG release thing which is kind of sad but eh....

It's not so much that they sold that poorly, but that a lot of things sold very well. Also, those releases actually got promoted which helps imo.

Tony G 9th January 2013 01:57 AM

again's sales were rubbish. It was a combination of that and numerous higher selling releases that resulted in the bad chart position.

These sales are even worse - don't forget that. #1 because competition is low, not because the Japanese are lapping up a classical release. In the weeks again and LOVE sold, this would have placed terribly.

Is this the first time we've seen Ayu acknowledge her sales so openly? Most of what she does points to the fact that sales don't matter (especially with these releases). Maybe she cares more than we think.

Also - correct me if I'm wrong, but day 1 sales are going to go towards today's weekly chart. Sales from today until next Tuesday will count for next wednesday's chart without including A Classical day 1 sales?

TeamAyu2004 9th January 2013 02:03 AM

i just think she is as surprised as all of us are, lol.
I mean, i dont think ANYONE expected that.

besides, she is retwetting and saying something to someone... lol

LONJJONG 9th January 2013 02:26 AM

No, a fan tweeted to her to tell that she got #1 in Oricon. She retweeted it and said Thank you.

The weekly sales were released 12 hours or so before A Classical's first day was revealed.

Basically, how it works usually is...

CDs release on Wednesday -> CDs chart for 6 days -> weekly sales are announced on Tuesday morning -> Tuesday evening's sales start a new Oricon week and are posted at around 7pm/8pm (there are usually no new releases here, so it's a bit of an 'extra day' that most releases have over new releases, so after the first week of 6 days, most CDs get a 7 day charting period) -> new CDs come out on Wednesday -> repeat

But in this case, instead of having A Classical come out with other new releases, it was released on the 'extra day' that releases the week before usually get. This day also tends to have pretty low sales.

And as for acknowledging her rankings, usually people tweet her that X or Y got #1 and she's like "Yay!" or she makes some emoticon faces. That didn't happen for the last few releases since well, none of them reached #1 on Oricon.
