OK... I guess we have to account some facts for the index:
1) usually cds released on Wednesday in Japan, so GUILTY is supposed to be arrived at cd stores on the 26th rite? But this time avex released it on
Tuesday the 25th (so that people can buy the cd on the x'mas day).. Therefore, unless you're hardcore fans, otherwise normal people would think that GUILTY should be in store on the
26th.
2) Maybe not lots of Japanese go shopping on x'mas day. (I guess we'll need someone living in Japan to tell us if that is true or not).
3) Usually the sales shown on the first day is the preorder sales...
Points 1 and 2 are positive, while point #3 is negative. I mean, the first day sale of GUILTY is combination of the "surprise Dec 25th in stores sales" + preorder sales. So that means there is not much preorder for GUILTY this time..

The "first week" sales of (m)u was around 600 - 680K I guess, which wasn't too bad. But this album showed the short chart run of ayu's album in the first time. I think Memorial address and MY STORY's two weeks combined sales are around 700K, not significantly higher, but both albums went over 1 million copies eventually. (m)u didn't.
