Wow, kinda big drop. More than 50% too.. It might just reach 200 000 if she's lucky.. The sales so far are good though.

#11 - 18 000

^Close but no cigar. Not good enough then.

Let's hope her next single can better this number.

not really, seeing no.1 sold 700,000+ copies in the first week.

Kikaru · #13 27th March 2006, 11:11 PM

^well #1 is a JE group, so they're really popular right now.

but still actually relatively stable. If she can keep up to the 10K-30K sale for a few weeks then it should pass at least 200K

><

I loved this single! Why are the numbers dropping so much?

truehappiness · #15 27th March 2006, 11:44 PM

I see a correlation between the sales..

/death

It really doesn't make sense for sales to just drop like this unless SOMEONE did something /COUGH COUGH. >> After all, she sold better in 05 than in 04!.. /evil

A single? Wow.

It's time for Ayu to come out with a single that just "wows" everyone.

elepop · #17 27th March 2006, 11:50 PM

^^ Yup, me too I think that. That's why I prefer her to wait until July to release something... something HUGE.

I think she'll reached 200,000 copies in 2-3 weeks. As long as she gets 200,000 copies, I'm happy. Although, I wouldn't be surprise if it doesn't because this single was so bad compared to her 2004-2005 minus "B&D" stuff.

bluegie · #18 27th March 2006, 11:58 PM

you can't compare sales with boy bands, especially the ones under johnny management. first of all, it's KAT-TUN's debut single (i dunno why they didn't release anything during the past 4 or 5 years tho..). Secondly, young girls willing to spend a lot of money on boy groups. Thirdly, they have 7 different covers (6 limited, 1 normal). Each member of the group got a chance to stand in the middle of each cover (and there're 6, so that's why 6 limited editions). Last but not the least, they have done good strategy this time... Releasing the first single, first album, and a DVD at the same time... No wonder they can get a lot of sales. (it's good to see oricon bringing up a history tho.. the last person getting no. 1 on those three categorys at the same time was ayu: SURREAL + Duty + concert tour 2000 A

).

If ayu's gonna make 6 different covers on CD+DVD edition, I'm sure she may be able to sell over 200K at least on the first week as well.

wow....that's such a huge frop...what is happening? thought this is gonna be a great single...

Axel_Grease · #20 28th March 2006, 12:27 AM

*_* Wow, big drop. Hopefully it's keep steady sales and not have more big drops.
