Well, maybe not "surpassed" but "surpasses", becouse it has sold more than Secret has so far... and I believe Secret will never outsell ULTRA BLUE, which is 950k~, while Secret is 660k~ copies sold...
Although you can tell that sales lowered over the years in Japan, but if you look at Orange Range... they can still sell around 2 million copies, right? It's not like Ayu left, but yeah, she could get way higher sales than she gets now. It's not that she's "not popular", becouse I bet she's a household name throughout the whole country, but just knowing her name doesn't make people like/buy her music...
But you can't really control people's tastes. You can't really predict what's gonna happen when you release a record. Who knows if a song's gonna flop or send the sales through the roof.
