i am surprised to see lotsa people are shocked with the sales of this album.

like some already said, this album isn't a normal commercial ayu album. it is loaded with stuff that isn't really japanese favourites. we all know that those heavy rock tunes are not favoured by the japanese. they only know that the album consist of:

1) talkin 2 myself, decision, dont leave me alone, marionette - which are all very rockish and from the sales of talkin 2 myself single we know that they dont really like it. hence they dont much prefer dont leave me alone n marionette

2) glitter - okay this song is a typical tune japanese love but this is the only one in it?

3) together when - alrite nice ballad with so so pv..

even though theres commercial stuff like MY ALL and untitled for her in the album (which supposedly japan will love), they are not even promoted for the album.
So the japanese can conclude that okay this is a omg so rockish album thus not much buying it. does that make sense? O.o

personally i dont care bout the sales. ayu is over tryin to make music that people all love (mainstream ones). shes gotten one of the highest selling album b4, shes gotten tonnes of no 1 albums n singles b4, shes made millions of people happy with her music b4. shes just doin what she loves now. so as long as she keep producing good stuff and keep feedin us with lovely music, all the other bulls dont matter anymore ;_)
