kanariya, fly high, appears and audience are limited to 300,000 copies. hence it only sold as much as there are enough copies available. but daybreak hasnt even reached 300,000. so your argument cant even stand.
and i believe my figures are recent. they are the collaborative efforts of this forum in the thread 'the ultimate sales thread' which i started.
i dont see why you are getting so mad. you have to be rational and stop protecting ayu all the time.
here's the data in the ultimate sales thread, in case you are too lazy to dig it up.
