Are you crazy? It was a huge hit. It made her top the 2006 favorite artist list by Oricon for the first time in 2 years, it is the best-selling digital single ever (7 million copies sold) and digital + physical sales equal 7.7 million sold making it the best-selling single ever. So yes, Flavor of Life was a giant huge hit.
I wasn't talking sales wise, with the Tie ins and hikki's divorce I wouldn't count it as hit because those are the reasons it sold like it sold.

Btw about 5,000,000 or more from those downloads are just ringtones...
If it would be the best selling single then it needs to sell physically a lot more and this is not a FOL thread xD.
I liked the single but it wasn't really a special song like Passion. If Passion would have those marketings it would sell like FOL its sell were huge yes, but it's not a big surprise. I'm happy that it had such a great marketing that it could give hikki good sales.

I'm glad that ayu is #1 for 3 days ^_^ only 3 days left.
