I actually don't think that it is a forgone conclusion that she will lose. If it were Arashi, then yes, bye bye number 1 streak. But with Fukuyama it has the potential to be really close. I would say Fukuyama has the edge, but it is not an insurmountable one. So much depends on mitigating factors such as: will Fukuyama really promote it since it wasn't originally planned to be a single release to begin with? How good are the songs on Ayumi's single and how much will she be promoting? Will she have good live vocals or bad ones? Because I actually think that having bad vocals in the lives can actually hinder the sales, not help them. Will the people who already bought Fukuyama's single digitally still want to buy it physically? etc etc.
