If it will sell 150,000 or over I think it will be really good since ayu does so well with a song that isn't really something everyone would like easily and she wanted to release it as a part of her, so if it will sell even 150,000 it will be good for a song such as Mirrorcle World which is not really mainstream and catcthy, nor ballad or a cute song.
And it was an interlude in GUILTY so everyone heard like almost 2 minutes from the song already in Mirror. So if it will do it I think it should be refered as a successful single.

HOnestly, everything taken into consideration, this is past my expectations. I love mirrorcle world, but talkin' to myself didn't do too well and its' a little similar in style in that it's rockish. 10th annivrsary doesen't really matter much. I think these sales are great and if she manages to surpass T2m it's really great for a semi-recutted single with only completely new song having no PV.

In addition, the song is rather choppily arranged and IMO one of the most different songs she's ever released along with stuff like FREE&EASY, BOld&Delicious, M (original at the time of release, now rehearsed many times though). It's great people love it!

20k x 7 maximum 140k and I mean MAXIMUM since first day is usually highest. thanks for the number though :D

True. :(
And don't forget Zard's single also being released tomorrow.
*nervous*

I really really really hope Ayu wont lose another first streak.

maybe its a silly question...
what is the sales of the previous single in first day?

ZARD's last single sold 50k in the first week. So taking that in consideration it shouldn't threat Ayu's #1 streak.

She hit no. 1? I'm surprised, I thought this single would perform so weak it would break her string of no. 1 singles... Congratulations then.

I almost forgot. Most people already bought the new tour and maybe both Remix-Albums. They already spent a lot of money for Ayu in the past weeks and this could be a reason if the single won't sell that good. I think, even the Hardcore-Ayu-Fans have to think about what they are really gonna buy.

thanx for the sales ^^

Hope so, cause someone wrote that this Zard's single is like memoriam single or something?
Well hopefully Japanese fans buy at least both MW CD versions, or even better all four of them (like I did). lol

hahas hi5* to all ayu fans that got all four versions!!!
just wondering
does any of cdjapan's sales contribute to oricon?

I think they do.

oh awesome!
dats even better
hahas
happy that my four Mirrorcle world editions have contributed to oricon sales xD

LOL I totally forgot Tuesday is NOT when singles are released in Japan. XD I was, like, "DANG THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AYU AND #2!"

Yes, CDJapan's sales contribute to Oricon, but that's only if you live in Japan. (Same with HMV. YesAsia doesn't contribute to sales.)

wat do u mean only if u live in japan?
soooo...only the orders from cdjapan that were shipped TO japan were counted?
err...then why dont they just go to the nearest shop?
im sure that MUST be faster
and all popular music stores are filled wif first presses xD
hahas
well..da whole store dat i went to in Shinjuku was LITERALLY filled wif first pressed GUILTY's on 6th january...this year of course...thats wen GUILTY was released
hahas
and that was the 6th day after release!

Well, I'm sure there are small cities in Japan where people aren't able to take a quick train ride to buy a CD. =P

Yeah, a lot of first presses end up on eBay, too...sometimes months and years after it's original release. XD

yea but those are quite expensive or same as retail price
sooo yup xD
hahas
oh how much of GUILTY was sold on the first day?
ne1 know?
thanks!!!

I hope sales rise tmr...i mean, people will usually buy CDs on Wednesdays anyway...since they can buy all at one go

Those are really good first day sales... she could get 110k+ with this.. hopefully. :D

not bad for a first day sales.. but i'm still abit worried for tmr sales- cos by then we will be able to determine if she will secure her No.1 when all the other new releases come out.. i hope sales won't drop too muc.. =)
