Thanks a lot for the info, Karen! It's good to see the RED CLIFF beat Natsukashii Mirai, haha. That just proves that avex just needs to try and find as many big tie-ins for alan as possible, until she becomes known enough to stand on her own

And personally, I LOVE the Hitotsu, both song and PV ~ but IMO the b-sides were boring as hell XD with the possible exception of sign (though I doubt an experimental instrumental track would help the sales lol). I don't even remember what the others sounded like.

I think Hitotsu sold badly simply because Ashita e no Sanka didn't sell all that well to begin with, and female soloists almost always sell less with their 2nd single than with their debut.

And I don't remember what the Kaze no Tegami PV looked like, lol...
