Honestly, the only reason Ayu's been having #1 spots for a while now is because avex releases her stuff when there is no competition. Has anything Ayu related ever been released during a week when AKB48 released something? This is the first time Ayu's gone up against "competition" during a release, and its just showing her true sales. Its not a diss to Ayu or anything, its just the current state of the music market. She doesn't sell like she used to. Neither do many female artists who are not part of an idol group, save for like Namie or Kana because they are "cool" right now. I wish some of my favorite unknown artists sold like Ayu is doing now. It would be a miracle from Heaven, lol.
