I was expecting less sales so I really well surprised with the actual sales, I hope the release of Tales of Xillia will help a bit =)

So from that perspective, she has had hits after that but not very many BIG hits. In fact I would say the last at least semi big hits were Step You and Blue Bird.
I confirm it. The last "Ayu's real hits" were STEP you and Blue Bird...
