[do it again]

the thing that's weird about japanese release dates is that everything is in stores on tuesdays even though the release date is a wednesday. they need to start on tuesday so that way they have an oricon ranking on wednesday.

anyway, i don't think the fans who were planning on buying the single before will choose not to because there are other releases during that day. perhaps even more because i'm sure her japanese fans share the same concerns as fans on AHS do. they want her to continue to succeed and that would mean keeping her streak intact.

it all remains to be seen how this single will fare, and whether or not it deserves to be #1... although the fact that it's ayu seems to be reason enough for most you, regardless of the material. i love many of ayu's ballads and i hope i can add these to a list that i enjoy and whether the single as a whole is worth buying and if it is, i might even buy it to support her and i don't own anything of ayu's.
