[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~again~

[truehappiness]

Well, usually CDs hit stores a day before release anyway. (Wednesday releases are on shelves on Tuesday, and in this case the Saturday release was on shelves on Friday)

I wonder if a lot of people thought it was going to be like LOVE and come out with everything else?

It seems some TA members are in fact boycotting this release because of all the Maro stuff going on but I don't know if that'll have much of an effect on anything in the long run.

Wow, I love how there are so many people on this board saying "Get a life."

Instead of condemning, why doesn't anyone try to understand? LOL.

I don't understand, honestly. You guys are so sad.

You guys complain "Oh I want her to sell so many millions again, I want her to be the best, I want her to be number one."

But when the cause of her not getting number one is revealed, "LOL GET A LIFE." Don't be so ignorant.

So I think people are interested in news more than music release I guess.

The earthquake lasted for 5 seconds, and we barely talked about it after the Earthquake happened in the office. So that's not a factor, unfortunately... =/ Wish it was!

I'm not complaining about wanting her to sell millions. Nowhere in this thread or in previous threads of an Oricon charting have I ever said that I want Ayu to go back to her old sales. Because I don't care about sales. Ranking doesn't mean crap to me.

And yes, people who refuse to buy work from an artist because of who they are dating need a life. Of all the things to boycott an artist over lol.

Im sorry but there's more to it, its not just a product. Product when in hands of people has its value. It means something to them or it represents their beliefs. You cant separate image and music. You cant look at the painting and close your eyes on some wrong details.

Image -the persona- represents the music. If -the persona- is doing something I feel its wrong/stupid/embarassing/bad I think its legit not to support the person, cause you dont think about background people and just music. You can simply download music for free or you can dislike -the persona- that much that you start to ignore it. She's a pop star, not a classical artist or some indie person we dont know face nor real name. And Im not even supportin' anybody's decision. I didnt even make a decision. Its more about music to me, but if she did something like rihanna did, basically supporting domestic violence Im sorry but I would never ever want to remember that I ever liked her. I would sell her cds and woudnt care anymore. And its not about 'oh I want to dictate Ayu's or anyone's life'. NO. Its just I have a right to decide whether I'll support somethin' or not, same as Ayu has or anyone else. So you should start respecting anyone's decision, like everyone else in the thread.

you are actually just as condemning in your post,. (just sayin )
and I didn't realize your office encompassed all of the areas that were effected by the earthquake, glad you could clear that up for us.
(not that I agree with earthquake effecting sales at all, because it doesn't, nor do pathetic fans that want to 'boycott' )

[Mr. Goto]

wut why would she leave avex. if she truly wanted to leave she could have years ago...this isn't south korea ayu isn't under like a 18 year slave contract. avex would also never drop ayu unless she did something really awful

Spoiler:

one of those things aren't low sales

[Jester]

Is it has a affectation from the earthquake in Japan?

[TeamAyu2004]

it might boost a little over the weekend because it just came out, but im looking at 30-40K release.

[truehappiness]

Well, I do think that this Maro thing probably shouldn't be affecting people as much as it is. Oh well.

[MeyChan]

Maro, Maro, Maro, Maro... he is her boyfriend. THE END.
He is in her MVs and so what? T-T Stop it please.
Japanese people is stupid?

I always loved Japan, japanese people and japanese culture and i still do. But really... enough with this Maro thing!! I don't give a ****** ABOUT IT! It's her life, she can do whatever she wants, all that should matter to us and those stupid TA members (the ones who get pissed of Ayu every time she tries to have a life of her own) is HER MUSIC. She's making great releases and yes, she deserves the best, but that's life. At the end we should like and listen music just because we enjoy it, not because it has sold millions or it has been number one or the artist doesn't have a *******ing life just because we don't have one and we own her.

[owlflight]

I don't care how much this release sells. I still bought it and I love the new songs. Yes huge sales and number ones would be nice but top ten is still really good in my opinion.

Your words, my words.

totally agreed

For me, as long as her music is good, i'm satisfied.
Ayu has already redeemed herself with LOVE and again imo

Do you know that even the Japanese people don't think hard.

They just didn't like it, that's it! Relax guys.

[saigodansu]

I still say it's a stunt and a stupid one. Too bad for you if you disagree with 99% of her fans who live in a different culture and have a different opinion than you. I hope this stupid stunt brings her career with Avex to a crashing halt so they no longer call the shots in her life. And every dancer including the so called boyfriend will lose their job and no one will have to see her walk hand in hand with a fake boyfriend again.

and how PATHETIC has to be your life to write those words... take a hard look of yourself and then decide if you are worth living or not.

I'm sorry.. But, are you so ****ing ignorant that you go as far as to call ayu's relationship a fake??? Who the **** are you to judge what she can and can't do? As far as I'm concerned, she's a human being, not some prized possession on a pedestal! Ugh... =_=;

All these years have been a constant bashing to her. She uses Shuya, complaints.

She is half naked on Party Queen cover, complaints because she's the ****ing Virgin Mary. She dates Maro and puts him in her covers, complaints.

Ayu needs to pee. Can she go to the toilet? Please vote:

Yes
No

P.S. I agree with this statement.

[saigodansu]

The pathetic ones are those among her managers who have her promote herself in such a way. Actually it's debatable that it may be more pathetic of the fans who constantly buy it because they've been told they're never lied to. I choose not to believe a liar because they tell me they're honest.
