Yeah, I understood that, but I ended up deciding that I was an as good anyone as anyone else, so I took the opportunity to reply .

Also by out side of fan base I ment people who may have attended a concert, bought one record because they liked it, but not hardcore fans. I can't believe that every japanese is a hardcore music fan of some artist and never buys "outside" fandom.
Cute, haha .

I would guess at least most of the first week sales are hardcore fans, but the rest I'm not sure of. If that's the case then fan sales would be about 50 - 60 % and the rest "people" or interested people sales. The fans will buy almost anyways, so to me the most important people to reach are the others, some of which may become fans of course. Like people are asying, the cover might be very important to attract these people.
Indeed, although, I don't think you have to be a hardcore fan in order to buy an album of your favourite artist. Piracy isn't that wide-spread, there's still people who buy CDs because they want good music, and because they know Ayu provides that. Then, there's ofcourse the question about what the definition of a hardcore fan is... reminds me of the "are you a true Ayu fan"-thread, lol.
