Definitely, I think they need to add digital to the Oricon. It's so backwards that they don't. I think the reason they don't though is because many artists' records would become redundant and it would completely change who gets #1 etc... probably reshaping the entire image projected of who is popular, sells well etc... and who doesn't

I think if they add digital tracking to Oricon, it would have to be done on a completely separate chart. What is the weight of one or two songs vs. a CD single with 3-6 tracks? IMO, things are fine the way they are since we can see who is doing well physically and who is doing well digitally without having to combine the two. I can't imagine how confusing it'd be to try and set up that sort of chart and NOT have it be dominated by some X or Y at some point especially with Japan's crazy obsession with certain artists atm. Oh, Japan.... you're so fickle.

but wasn't Days "the right song"? and we've not seen anything from that.

Well, if it helps, Days/GREEN was her last single to break 190k, aha. I think Days was a cute track and the Japanese public responded well to it, but somehow... maybe that just wasn't enough? I think a lot of the love for Days came from the PV, though the song was pretty well-liked too. I was talking more... Ayu hasn't had an earworm of a song that drills itself into your head and doesn't budge for a while. Most of her tracks lately seem to be very "I'm making these songs because I want to make them. If you do not like it, then they're just not to your tastes." as opposed to "This song is made to be a hit." which a lot of her tracks in 2006 were like, I think.
