That's really good for Ayu to be #1 in so many categories. ^_^ But hopefully she'll be able to get a couple more sales. And since I've got nothing nice to say about Koda, I just won't say anything.

oh
I'm little bit disapointed
but still congratulations to ayu get NO.1

bernardation 13th March 2006 03:56 PM

let's just wait for the second weeks sales.
it's too early to say that this single will sell so badly.
maybe this week everyone bought koda's best album, and then next week everyone will spend the money on ayu's single !

ohsixthirty 13th March 2006 04:22 PM

not bad, another number one. :)

While sure it would have been 'nice' for her to get more sales in her first week. I think we should look at the overall picture of Ayu here.
She just broke a record, 26 #1 singles for a female artist, this is her 14th consecutive #1 single, AND she's had 37 TOP TEN singles out of 39 singles??

Despite the 'low' numbers and all the talk about kumi and the competition that went on the day the single and album came out.. if you think about it..
Ayu did well, :)

and considering her tours are still sell outs.. I'd say Ayu is gonna be just fine.
Not gonna predict overall #'s for sales.. but I'm sure she'll do good :)

(the bold) isnt a record. the other 2 are, but that isnt. the 3rd record is she sold the most singles out of all female singers (19,777,000)

jerms 13th March 2006 05:06 PM

what i meant by the just broke a record was getting her 26th #1 single..
I should have put a period after it.. but I was trying to get the point that having 14 consecutive #1 singles is a good thing.. and so many people are focusing alot on the negativity and on the whole "why did avex put ayu's single out the SAME day as kumi's album" bla bla bla

Mirai Noah 13th March 2006 06:11 PM

Ooo, Ayu broke a record! Go Ayu!! :D :D

Sweer 13th March 2006 06:31 PM

pretty good first week sales, not bad at all ^^

Neo Daydream 13th March 2006 06:37 PM

YAY!

mishidabo 13th March 2006 07:31 PM

i dont know why is ppl always talking and bashing koda kumi... .. but singles sales will NEVER compare to album sales... i think its mainly because alot of new artist are releasing a bunch of stuff this month and ppl should save money for it... and its not just music.. there are also videogames and stuff .. but one thing that most ayu fans should realize now is that ayu is not that popular anymore.. so deal with it.

her latest album is selling 850 000 so far, and her singles last year alone sold over a million copies together.. o_O and you say she isn't popular anymore? ... you're weird.

tokyoxjapanxfan 13th March 2006 07:57 PM

its low, yes, compared to other singles from past years, but considering ayu is older (old=time in the business), and she is still getting #1's is great! and ayu is still avex's number 1 artist, considering the fact she has made them $$$$$$$$$$$$ lol

however avex is smart and they realize that they have sumthing new with koda kumi, and they will play her up until she gets old too, then find a new one, then a new one, etc etc. lol

.. im not saying she is not popular anymore... shes not THAT popular as she used to be... why the ayu fans get all freaky when someones says that ayu is not the queen of everything.. lol... anyway.. i'm not looking for trouble so please respect my point of view.
