I'm absolutely dying to see the covers...probably won't see them until late this month at the earliest, more like early February. *sigh*

Yay! Ayu Pride. I wanted Black to be number 1 though. But it's Ayu so can't complain.

Woohoo! Always good news. :yes

And....I want to buy these so bad, but I don't think I will. I just don't have the money. ;_; At any rate, I can only buy the HK versions anyway...because they're cheaper.

They better top the charts!

I think they should release the 2 different verions one week apart from each other, -BLACK- being first. This would give both albums the shoe-in for the #1 spot for the week they are released. Both albums cannot be #1 at the same time sadly...

well, it's ayu black vs. ayu white this time :D, good strategy from avex.. everyone who concerns about oricon rankings would die to see which ayu is getting no. 1 :P And personally I dun mind that, afterall I believe both albums will take the no. 1 and no. 2 positions (cross my fingers) :).

^ Yes, but one of the albums will not hit the #1 spot, which will break the streak of #1 albums. But does it really count when she is beaten by herself?

This is so awesome. The only person who can beat Ayumi Hamasaki to the number 1 spot is Ayumi Hamasaki, can't get much better than that!

wow this makes no sense, I thought black was the best because black has her ballads, I'm talking ballads here, this is black's selling point. Anyway, I hope that both albums make #1, but there's a possibility that she'll have a #2 album but only because it was right after her own.

I think there both going to be counted as one album no matter what version you get

Black wins White today

2. A Best: 2 - White / 浜崎あゆみ
3. Home / Mr. Children
4. Made In Twenty(20) / Boa
5. Scratch / 木村カエラ

No, you don't. :)

That would make sense to release them within a week of each other [after all, Mr. Children's is TWO weeks after.. so.. D:]

Or maybe, somehow they'll bend the sales so that both end up in the no.1 position? :O

Hopefully, the sales switch ONLY SLIGHTLY the week after..

Suspiciously, B&D got no.1 by a few thousand so.. maybe :D

hey, would this be the first time someone has gotten the #1 and #2 spots with best of albums on the same day? lol, assuming that she gets the #1 and #2 spots...

Nah it won't matter :P Probably the sales shall be added to each other anyhow.

i always get this butterfly feeling when i read that she tops the preorder charts... yey!

i wonder if they'll both hit #1. i hope they do, or else it'll break her #1 streak

Wow, the release is almost 3 months away and she's already topping the preorder chart! I can only hope she tops the real Oricon chart 3 months after 2/28. :P
