I'm very hapy that ayu is doing good. Perhaps her single will be up-to-par like Step You/Is this Love? I hope Kuu gets her #1 too. The AVEX girls know how to make their fans happy. Poor Hikki tho. She's the only female who's defending EMI at the moment. I wish Shiina was big like her debut days.

And all the Ku fans seem to be saying that it's doing really well digitally yet somehow no one ever bothers posting the source nor any proof of that. I am not saying it's doing bad digitally but I don't really believe it's doing that great. I am not dissing her as I listen to her a lot myself, it's just that some people can't seem to accept the fact that she is way past her prime and that her sales are and will keep declining.

I don't think anyone was blaming the album for her sales but it is a factor as to why it's selling the way it's selling with this single (not that its bad or anything especially since the way it was released.I think it's doing very well). Trick was announced probably like 2 or 3 weeks after SWM's 1st date was released. Don't forget that it leaked way a head of it's release date plus it was set back a week. I think it's been out for nearly two months already.
As for her prime, Kuu is still pretty much popular and is still one of the highest grossing female singers in Japan. Just because her sales aren't what you consider "high" doesn't mean she isn't doing well nor means she isn't popular. Sorry but that's like saying Utada Hikaru isn't popular/past her prime just because Heart Station/Stay Gold didn't sell a 100k her first week/overall.
