I was expecting ayu to get around 100K and she did it with 16K extra. So dun feel the numbers are very low. You just can't compare Startin' to the old ones like TO BE (man, 100K was super low in 1999), forgiveness (130K was not a good number in 2003), etc.
Kinki Kids dont really have that high sales. their singles/albums sell ~300k, so the solo single was pratically like half of the total kinki sales in the end. n i think the reason y EXILE did bad was cos their album is releasing at the end of this month.
dont get me wrong, im NOT trying to 'compare' sales with TO BE/Daybreak/forgiveness. im just trying to find out how the total single sales will turn out in the end (using similar debut numbers) sorry if i led u the wrong way...
