i agree. i never expect ayu's A BEST 2 will sell like a million each in the beginning. I was just hoping each may sell to a point like 700 to 800K. BEST albums usually have longer legs so 700K shouldn't be a problem. I just kinda hope each will have 750K at least.. so combined sales will be 1.5 million copies, which is really good for ayu and nowaday's sales.

Well.. it's really obvious that kuu sales are declining. I remember ayu's appears, kanariya, and fly high both sold over 270K at least on the first week and eventually they all sold over 290K in a few weeks (consider they were all 300K limited release). If kuu's popularity is still really high, BUT/Aisho (150K limited release) should have a similar effect (both songs aren't on Bounce and Lovers). However, so far the combined indicator from oricon is like 28185, which is lower than expect. Cherry girl was selling bad but that was because its release date was close to Black Cherry. BUT and aisho aren't on B&L yet it sells poorly. So to me it seems like kuu starts facing a backlash.. (just like how ayu got backlash when she was overexposure..)
