err...have you SEEN EXlLE? They're not exactly 'sexy'.

[ayu_fan929]

^LOL. True, the only good looking one imo is TAKAHIRO.

Yeah. Well since they have several promo photos and pvs where they're almost topless or with something that reveals their torsos I suppose girls consider them sexy.

[bluegie]

well, back then when SHUN was still in EXILE, I think their songs were somehow better. After Shun left, they just turned themselves into sexy "beast" (they do look like beasts to me). I guess Shun's decision of leaving the band is correct... or else he would be the one showing his chest off LOL.

Oh well so has oricon updated yet?

[ayu_fan929]

^Dailies yes, weeklies no.

[elepop]

Ah... Ayu's #3 today. =/

Ewww.

LOL.

[bluegie]

well, just gimme the update and i can end my illusion like ayu's is x 1.78 while kobukuro is x 1.7 (it's possible sometimes). LOL.

I so agree. I think Shun was the only decent looking one!

[Peger]

Since Ayu was #1 the first week, is it possible Oricon won't count these two weeks as one in a last minute policy change? Billboard made a similar move in November to allow The Eagle's album to chart. I wonder if avex would put pressure on Oricon to list GUILTY as the number 1 album for the week of 12/24.

[Lee_Hamasaki]

i really don't think so

[minna]

#3
I hope the sells will go higher

could somebody tell me where we see the number of copies sold????

Woah, I don't think anything like this has happened before and sadly, I don't think it ever will. :O

[bluegie]

Well, wouldn't it be better in the first place to buy more copies themselves than forcing oricon to change the policy??

It depends on how valuable ayu is rite now in avex (and in the music industry), but I dun really think oricon will do that for ayu.

[Lee_Hamasaki]

:/ they spent 1 milion or more for a pv and they don't spend 1/10 for this -.-'

[cttncandy]

Even though its not concrete yet, if Ayu was to obtain 2nd place then it would still be damn good! Ayu has been in the music industry for ten years, and dominating it the whole time! She is already a legend, she has earned her rightful place as the Queen of Jpop and no matter how many other artists try to pretend they are reigning now, the fact remains that Ayu is still the most influential and successful singing woman in Japan.

Now, the one thing that is really worrying me is Ayu! Because I wouldn't want her to feel unloved, or like her fans are abandoning her. I wouldn't want her to think her music is not as enjoyed anymore. That is what I am afraid of.

[Luv ~Venus~]

Well, in all fairness or whatever, Ayumi already has 10+ albums that scored the #1...So, if she gets 2nd than it'll be okay

BUT I WANT HER TO GET #1! WOOOOOOOOT!

[cloud♥honey]

I know about the #1 marks but it isn't important now. I just hope the album sales reach 600,000 copies someday.

[polka-dot-jewel]

I keep hearing posts about her getting #1 on her first week...was that even confirmed by Oricon? I mean, I remember reading a post about it somewhere (I think), but I was checking Oricon today, and the last time THEY updated their weekly album chart was on December 31st, when Ayu wasn't even on the charts.

So, could all the albums sold between 12/25 and I guess yesterday be counted as a first week sale? (Thus, I guess, increasing her chances of getting #1?)

It wouldn't be the END of the world if she DIDN'T get #1, but to have a #1 streak like that would be superior and amazing. =D
