This album was released 8 months after RnRC, it had no "real" hit singles to support it and relatively few lives (the singles, that is.) Besides, we should all know by now that quality matters NOTHING to sales. Not in Japan, not anywhere.

But what I think is sadder is that some people are making such a fuss about it. Of course we'd all rather have her sales go up-who wouldn't?- but what matters is that STILL, despite everything, she's outselling most other artists. She's still there, she's doing great, we love her music, everybody's happy!

Having said that, I won't deny that I'm secretly hoping for better second and third days so she at least goes over 250k XD

yep I kinda agree with you on the bold part..
I'm still happy coz Ayu still exists in the Japanese entertainment industry..and still could make her self a "solid place" among the other artists..so I'm pretty grateful and satisfied
