Go you!!!
I find your comment pretty true x2 ^_^.
I still think A BEST 2 albums did great, considered in sales falling ayu's sales from Secret stayed the same and A BEST 2 -WHITE- already outsold it.
But without outselling standarts issues, the fact that A BEST 2 still sold more than 600,000 is really hugely remarkable and combined avex & ayu gained more than a 1,300,000 copies sales just with those albums.
