The whole debacle can be read in the old Oricon threads for MW. Most specifically this one: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72515
(yes, I actually go back to read through old threads to learn the details about all these big Ayu-debacles) |
Thanks for the link! I was also wondering what everyone was talking about. Actually, as I was reading the thread, I started to feel nervous and excited for Mirrorcle World! XD It's like watching a movie you already know the ending to, but you can't help but feel nervous about anyway.
I feel like there's no way Ayu could lose this week, if she was able to win back then. There's already such a gap between Ayu and Kuu, and all of Ayu's hardcore fans are watching the charts to make sure she can get her streak for L.
Haha, it is a little fun to get worked up or watch other people get worked up, though. XD It makes it kind of exciting! I can't wait to watch the charts for L!!
By the way, do singles bought from YesAsia and shipped to NA count? And do they count on the first day (like preorders)?
