What, you lost confidence in Ayu for a second there? =P

well... dun you know that KinKi will release a single a week earlier :lech? They will compete with kuu, not ayu.. :P

Erm.. I actually think that the date doesn`t matter for charting.. oh I dunno.

I don`t get why BoA`s sales are so low.. I like her.. I think I read it somewhere, and she was like almost on the last place or something..
And yay for AAA album :D

because 19th is a nice middle date of September?...probably implying that her ballad single will be in the later part of the month that it is coming out

It's not only Ayumi, if you check the dates of other artist's releases, they're usually on the same day, like if they're in the same company.

why has BoA got "no chance"? "LOVE LETTER" is a strong song!

oh i would think the reason why everyone's releasing their singles is BECAUSE of competition :/

Having a strong song doesn't mean the rest is appealing enough for the consumer to purchase it. Generally, if single sales are low after a few years, there's very little chance to get back up. I like BoA though, just that Ayu's definitely getting the weekly #1.

Ohh, I hope Onitsuka does good ^^ Thanks for the info xD I wanted to now when Chihiro would release a single. Well, which day of the week is the 19th anyways.

They are, but it's a week before Ayu's single...

to rise self-confidence? lol

Not fair :P
I love BoA, she'll get a good position too!!! Remember she did take out Kuu and Ayu from Top Spot in January with Made In Twenty! :)
I want Ayu at No.1 and BoA at No.2, AAA at No.3!!! xDDDDDDDDDDDD

maybe its a good date

that date is so crappy. if onitsuka's sales get affected I'll slap her. >__>

BoA and ayu share a part of the same audience so that could be interesting. and since aki releases an album and onitsuka a single they shouldn't influence each other too much although they have a similar style. or it's quite the opposite and everyone goes for aki's album. >__>"

AAA (last single's first week sales was 24,892) and BoA (last single's first week sales was 26,215) has no chance against Ayu (last single's first week sales was 110,165). Angela's release is an album, so different chart. Also, Chihiro's last single only sold 18,836 in the first week, even lower than AAA. Another release is also Hitoto Yo's new single. But her last single only sold 12,203 in the first week.

So far, nothing to worry about.

yep... nothing to worry bout it!!

i hope both ayu's single & angela's album will get on top chart!!

GO AYU, GO ANGELA!!!!! :D

She's got another two singles to release (including TTM) this year. And I'm glad to see her 30th no.1 single come out this winter. Then follows the album, yeah! =DD

i think its cos of the oricon charts.....? something like its a new month or something. oh crap.. lol

Well.... I think its just coincidence and I hope Ayu get the No. 1
