I wasn't implying that Ayu was the only pre-release, I'm just saying it's even earlier than usual for everyone, as most cd's are released on a Tuesday, not a Monday. And Monday, if I remember correctly, notoriously has the lowest of sales because it's basically the end of the first week sales from the previous releases, as Tuesday sees the new releases for the week.

But since ABC has a lot of bonuses being featured for his album, it wouldn't surprise me if he did outsell Ayu. If Ayu also had a hand-shake event ticket included in her album, I'm sure that would cause more people to buy it. But had Ayu done this, I'm sure people would accuse her of "cheating" to try and get more sales, lol.
