wow, this was suprising... I thought they would've plumetted or something.

when i clicked the thread I was like, "oh, please don't tell me Avex's stocks plumetted... now everyone's gonna blame Ayu"...

I was surprised however... hmm, interesting... at least they can't blame her.

well.. Singapore still has no news about ayu's deafness yet.. but i would thought that it would decrease.. but since it has increased, i wun say much. but i think its due to sympathy.. :(

hopefully her guilty sales can rise too...and get number one position for this week..haha..
thanks for the news...ayu is so powerful

I think it's because of the sympathy people felt for her :yes

10x for the news

i'm a little stupid - do the sales have increased or not?

the stock incresing can make boost sales

i think this is like her strategy in marketing :D

Those were chocking news. I think it increased the sales of GUILTY and it will increase more.

That's cool people are caring though how come avex's stocks went up and not ayu's? (I think).
What an A has to do with a G? if you get what I mean like... ayu's stocks should go up and therefore avex's, but not only avex's to go up and ayu's not lol.

i also read the news from the local newspaper.... and today, singapore TV news also report about ayu!!! so many people will support ayu!!!

I hope the sells will increase like the stocks
it would be really great

unnn, ok, now i uundertand... well, i suppse they have increased the stcoks so they may have better sales in the following weeks.

Well... That's a bit strange. But since it's positive, I guess it's fine...

I don't really see it as they "care" for Ayu. It's more like pity to me...

It's not sympathy, it's easy profits. The investors knows that, this news will help sales. Sympathy from the public, fast and easy profits for sharks. (Sure that some of them were happy to learn the new.)

^ But why would sales go up? Pity sales? I'm pretty sure Ayu doesn't want that.

And as we can see, the sales did not go up

Maybe it's because of EXILE's amazing sales and Ayumi's okay-ish sales that potential investors would like to invest in avex. We all know about the Kumi album that's being released soon.

I think it's less about Ayu's personal issues and more about the fact that people are expecting Avex to have a good year this year.

Ayu
- Guilty
- a huge arena tour across Japan / Asia

Koda Kumi
- Kingdom. a million seller ?
- first full arena tour ?

EXILE
- fans getting milked with a new best of collection ?
- arena tour ?

Probably... I don't think Kingdom will be a million seller though, Black Cherry hardly is (I mean it is but not by a lot).

I don't think that avex has a female singer that can sell a million for an album anymore.

I think Kingdom will sell past one million. it's been awhile since the last kuu album and it's released in a good time. there isn't much competition and I'm sure as soon as Ayu is "done" with Guilty, huge promo for Kingdom will begin.

btw I Think on oricon Black Cherry is just above one million, but Avex reported like several hundred over million copies sold ?

also I weren't there rumors of A-nation having a few gigs in Asia (China/Taiwan) this year too?

avex always exaggerates the sales to make their artists look better.

Yes I think there were rumors or actually some statement by avex that the next a-nation will be also in Asia.
