Wait, Days/GREEN was released on 17th December 2008 - it was counted towards 2009. Yes the week starting on 23rd is a single weekly chart. Still the double weekly chart isn't the first Oricon week in the year, which means that You were.../BALLAD is also going to be counted towards 2010.

Oh we were talking about different things lol. I was thinking about the double week issue, and you were talking about whether or not the sales will be counted towards 2010.

I dun really concern about her position in yearly chart because I believe she won't be in the top 5 (or probly even top 10) anywayz. I just dun want "You were.../BALLAD" falling into the double week trap if the 23rd is the starting of the double weekly chart. Just like GULITY, I dun think a double week will be good for ayu nowadays..

await the cover~
the fleece look like simple but not bad.

how is that a blanket? it looks lame and pathetic! i'm kind of glad though since i can't get it

yeah lol I noticed. And yes the double week would be far from good for her.

Well the new oricon year stars on the 15th and the double week probably starts on the 29th. ^^

So yeah either avex will push it back to the 23rd or they will find an ass winner tie-in or do an ass winner thing into it, or the easiest option, do nothing. =P

I made it a first day when single comes to pre-order at CDJ - I can always resign if single will be poor :thud

Dunno if it has been mentioned, but I checked my CDJ order and they finally added a poster as an external bonus :)

oh that's a good sign & yup CDJapan has listed the poster as an external bonus for all 3 editions now :D

& they didn't ripped off people unlike YesAsia :innocent

Holy crap no kidding!! I hadn't noticed YesAsia was charging an extra 10$ on each versions!

I'll have to calculate and see which one is more expensive since I'd have to pay shipping with CDJapan...

I hope she has her dark hair on the cover +w+

I do not know if we are really in a dead end or not...

Nah. Nobody's gonna break any streak. Ayu fans will go totally loco when they hear this and order/buy additional copies of the single. I honestly don't think that this McSteamy is any threat. But, sure, I've been wrong before....

why am i a bit scared to see the ninki ranking LOL

LOL

3 editions of a single is frankly nothing imo . I bought 7 editions of the same single a while back ago so D:

Lol this thread is becoming scarier and scarier to read.
I doubt Ayu even has that much time to promote the single with CDL0910 coming...ARGHH

LOL :shakehead

it looks darker for a winter ballad single @@
hope it will not be the real color..

I hope Avex won't push the single back or forth. Seriously, let's be Ayu up against Fukuyama Masaharu and see what's happening. Who cares if she'll loses her streak?
I'd rather see her taking the No.2 spot with nice sales and great songs than weak sales and a weak single on No.1! Just because there is no competition!
I dislike all this pushing of release dates in general (such cowards). Man, just make good music, that's all what's important.

Speaking of the single, I'd love one of the songs being a similar concept of Duty (the song). It's dark and strong.

About on the single release date, its getting "scarier" than I thought

It reminds me of the "horror" of MW Vs. SCS, but this time its so overwhelming.
Well, Im hoping on a better single release with better music and not thinking about this another nightmare to come.


And Im looking forward to the NIKKI ranking too...

Would it really be such a disaster for her not to get a #1 weekly?
