How can you say that giving the time when they were released? DDD: There's like a few reasons why those two singles sold the way they sold some of which I said a couple of posts ago. You're trying to compare MW+D/G to HS/SG+POL but you really can't compare the two.

And MOST OF YUI's singles sold more than 100k...so I don't know where did u get that..

I don't think it's AVEX's intention to get Kuu to sell over a 100k her first week with her singles. =/
Maybe with her 2 - 4 a-side singles but mostly not with her 1 a-side singles. She's not
struggling at all as she's selling at her normal rate not Ayu's rate. =/
As for YUI, you said that YUI struggles to get 100k her 1st week. YUI has never gotten 100k her first week. I never said she's never sold 100k with most of her singles.
And lol. No I don't like quoting you but sometimes you seem to give misguided information hun.

Also without the drama tie-ins/anime hikki's sales would be cracked. Tops her singles (FoL, BW/K&C) would do exatly like her singles in 2006 or even less.

There's no denying that the tie-ins that Hikki has had influenced her sales but don't make it seem like that's all she's been depended upon. I don't think I have to go into detail with you about some of her single sales without huge tie-ins selling very well since you pretty much know a lot about Hikki.
