well in a way i think HEAVEN HAD to b the a-side for the single since it was the title track for a movie...

Forgiveness sold around 210 000, No Way To Say sold 570 000.. I dont see how the word HEAVEN can be associated with Samurais though, WIll sounds better..

Wow, still reaching for the top 10!

yep, already 11! Its definitely breaking 300 000, wonder if it'll break STEP YOU's sales? ^^

EDIT: ITS 17... SAD...:weep

It's not 17...

wow, i'm surprised. she's resisting in the charts quite well !!

Huh it's at #11

oops that was the day before yesterdays.. they update the charts not too quick, makes me confused..:P YAY, 11!!!

^ lol~ heaven single may sell more than STEP you in the long run~ hopefully!!

YAY YAY YAY!!! HEAVEN'S NUMBER 9, BACK IN TOP 10!!! POP THE CONFETTI!! TIME FOR CELEBRATION!!! Anyway, Yuna Ito is once again number 1, will that girl ever stop? Hikki's number 15!!! Ai Otsuka is number 3!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!

edit: I tried to find the average position of HEAVEN provided that the sales are set as a controlled variable.. The results I got is 11.857, so HEAVEN will probably be at number 11 to 15!!! YAY!!

it seems that the single sales are very low now, I mean, Yuna Ito is back at number one in the daily chart and she sold about 25000 singles last week....

Because there is not a BIG single coming out these days.

Pretty much apart from Def.Diva's single.

if you count the total sales, Yuni Ito is not as good as Ayu yet:
Endless Story has sold 254458 in lots of weeks
Ayu sold about 300000 now in much lesser weeks..

The only difference is, Endless Story doesn't weaken much per week. Sales are stable.. wonder how long she'll last.

Yeah, me too. Perhaps we'll have another "Sakuranbo" going on, only this time in the top ten. I think she'll fall off when the next release of many big artists comes sometime in noveber though

Woohoo, Ayu's at #9!

Yuna and Ai are doing extremely well! Woohoo, Yuna is back at #1. It's her first single and it's doing really well!

As for Hikki... well... um.

Wo hoo~~! Top 10 Baby :D

Sakuranbo did very well? Please do tell!!! I wanna know, arigato!
I thought Endless Story sold around 500 000 so far.. its that low eh?
