(As smart phones increase in Japan, all "digital" artist's sales are dropping because chakuuta/chakuuta full are the only things Japan ever really cared about...selling a lot on iTunes or getting number 1 on iTunes for weeks really has no impact on people, at least now. Could change in the future.)
I wonder if, as the years go buy and Japan is -obviously- moving into the digital music market, they will finally start adding in digital albums sold via iTunes, etc.
I always thought that the day Ayu got a #2 album I would be really like, affected by it, but I don't care haha. Maybe it'll push her to be a bit more... proactive in making more interesting music/videos/promotion. Of course, I don't dislike the album, it still lacks in some aspects.
And I agree with Sunshine. Being a fan doesn't mean you have to buy into something, haha. Although I was surprised because I had assumed tons of TA members would have pre-ordered and whatnot. I guess not?
