It will be so sad to see her lose her number one. I'm praying that it won't happen

[Lee_Hamasaki]

we're all praying for her ^^

I'm sure avex will use it's 'influence' to make sure GUILTY is #1 on 1/5 and 1/6, thus giving it the weekly #1. GUILTY is doing quite well considering how badly its singles did on the digital charts, I'm impressed. 'Together When...' must really be helping.

I think positive praise for the album in general is also helping.

Most people seem to like it [amazon.jp / HMV..]~

Hm I think this album was much more well received than for example (m)u. I guess the promotion with a power ballad does help because Japanese love those kind of ballads. Btw which record label are kobukuro?

Thanks. Usually record labels like Johnny's and avex are rumored to make deals with Oricon on rankings so.. let's see..

[AyuGAME]

we really need a miracle...kobukuro has a large oldies fan base...so they have a strong sales...

[truehappiness]

Not really. A lot of their fans were gained in the last two years. Around (m)u, NAMELESS WORLD came out.

[TITANIC]

i think avex must do it for keep her streak..
lets pray together

[truehappiness]

Yeah, and apparently it was only rated down at Amazon because some idiots didn't like that people were rating it so high without it "releasing officially" yet. :|

Stuff like this always happens... in YA and CDJapan people constantly rate high/low before the release date.

[Amuro_Ray]

let's pray for Ayu.........!!

That puts a WHOLE NEW MEANING to close. D: OMG
I just had a thought yesterday. What if single A sells 39,525 copies and single B sells 39,247 copies. What happens? Would Oricon "adjust" the numbers or something. I've never seen anything that close and now it's happening with Ayumi! :O :O

My guess is that the album sells about 540k. I'd love it if it were 555k, just like Secret was 666k.

[ayumisrael]

I wonder if the total sales will be that close too =P I guess the total real sales will change that...

Total sales, I don't think it will be close. I think Kobukuro's album will be a million seller. (391k in the 1st week and another 400k+ in their 2nd/3rd weeks)

For GUILTY, I'm guessing 600k total?

I don't think there have been any news sources for that yet.

No Secret had better sales up till now. I think Secret sold almost 500k in the first two weeks. However GUILTY might have a better chart life.
