I of course want her Anniversary single to get #1,because I wish the best for her and it is a celebration of her place in the business.
However,if she was absolutely determined to get to #1 at all costs, a song like Mirrorcle World is clearly not the way to go. Her rock-flavoured songs never do as well on the charts,and MW has very bizarre tempo changes,is almost 6 minutes long,includes a symphonic intro,smashing glass,etc. I really enjoy the song for precisely these reasons,but its a gamble when you know the closest to assurance you can get for a #1 is to release an uptempo poppy song or a ballad.

Lets be honest too; alot of MW's sales are driven by the different editions and people buying multiples. I am sure that the sales would be lower if there was only a cd+dvd and a cd only like normal.

Also,not to point fingers,but complaining and saying how stressed you are/angry about Ayu not getting to #1 or "losing" her streak if you didn't do your part and actually buy a single is a little silly. If everyone thinks one doesn't make a difference,then none will be sold. Don't complain generally,but really don't complain if you couldn't get $10 together to buy the single. Come on...
