Eh? Really? People thought NEXT LEVEL would sell better than GUILTY? With crappy promotion like that, uh... yeah... (wasn't around at the time.)

I'd say it's possible, and that there's no need to be such a downer about this. Hopefully Ayu is able to make people who aren't confident about her sales eat their words with the sales for this album...
Yeah, really. Most fans probably agree NEXT LEVEL was a better album than GUILTY and therefore would sell more, but that wasn't the result. I definitely remember a lot of that talk around the forum this time last year. In fact, it seems to happen with every new album - this is going to be the "one" to make her sales skyrocket again. So I'm not being totally unreasonable thinking it will probably sell around the same as NEXT LEVEL if we are lucky. And I don't think, promotion wise, its going to be very different to last year. She's wacked her tour straight after her album release (even after a few shows this time). Didn't work out for her last time? Only one TV live. She's still recording, still rehearsing for her tour, just a nice little repeat of last year.
