I think it's the avex's way of deluding people thinking that the album is selling VERY VERY well...

Was kind of sure that it were the shops monitoring how much they order...

I think they should ask for some forgiveness. That song is amazing and just side-eyes this new release.

Okay, yeah, we get it lol

Thanks! ^_^

eh? out of stock? I bought my 2CD+DVD copy at Yoyogi in Tower Records on Aug 8, but then I went to Shibuya's Tsutaya and there were lots of ASB's copies. I came here today too and there were ASB discs. hmmm strange

I think I need to buy 2CD too, just to help sales

Hm、so maybe 2012 is the first year since 1999 that Ayu hasn't had a #1 album?

The world is ending!!!!!!!

Unless if she will release a new original album around the time of ToXII on a good week instead of a single lol.

Just curious, but how did everybody react when Ayu said she was going to release two original albums in one year? (rnrc and love songs)
I wonder if she will get that no1 if she releases a new album..

^i didn't find it a big deal since it was being released in late december...and she had just released all those singles so it made since. And Love songs was great...

But 2 original albums and a best is a bit much. But I wouldn't care. As long as everything sounded good.

Since Party Queen was originally supposed to be two albums there must be TONS of leftover songs. That in addition to the Xillia song...I could very well see her releasing another album in time for christmas.

Party Queen was supposed to be 2 albums? This I did not know...

she said that she had enough material for two and had thought of doing a two disc album or something.

which does mean, there must be lots of leftover songs somewhere...

Off topic but, ASB is already released in HK right? Oh well. Really hoping here for a gold certification. :)

I think 2010 wasn't the only year ayu releasing two albums at the same time. You can count 1999 (A song for xx, LOVEppears), 2002 (I am..., RAINBOW), 2006 ((m)u, Secret) as double album years as well. Of course, those January albums were practically released on the last Wednesday of December in the previous years (e.g., (miss)understood was released on Dec 28, 2005 instead). Also, the time gap between RNRC and Love songs was about 8 months, while the others are separated by 11 months at least.

But back to your question... I'm actually kinda used to ayu's hectic schedule (esp back in the early years). So if she's gonna release another album at the year end, I won't be too surprised.

I think she will release another album, her tour is about to end, and there is four months until the end of the year. We know she doesn't vacation for too long, so what else will she do in that time? Just buy wigs and shoes? I doubt it, she will probably release something small; I doubt it'd be a single though...plus, with her 15th next year, I think Ayu will want to sustain her record until then, because we know whatever she releases next year will earn the #1 spot. If she loses it this year, she'll have to start all over.

I'm putting my money on a Love songs situation.

If she release another mini-album, that would be counted as number 1 album right? (Having a new album would be amazing, but I won't another mini-allbum)

TBH I want to hear every song she's ever recorded, so she better put them all in an album or something :innocent

I wouldn't be surprised if we had another mini... better than a full album with no singles though!

I want a single or an mini-album.
