The multiple a-side only singles are probably turning less attractive to japanese as you will actually get the songs in the next upcoming album. That added to the fact that the songs weren't really anything exceptional this time though I love them very much.

I think people think "i dont need to buy the single though.. I can have all the pvs n songs in album".... so it doesnt sell as good as previous single.... she shall try the format of her previous single (with remixes + pvs).... maybe it works

If STEP YOU was promoted heavily instead of Fairyland, I'm sure first day sales could have hit over 100000.. That song was very original and the chorus was ADDICTIVE. The PV also appeals to the masses, like Fairyland! Unfortunately, its the other way round, so I'm not gonna complain.. (or maybe I just did..)

Why did it take until the day before her single was to be released for the PVs to air?

Namie's Want Me, Want Me was floating around weeks before it was released. The same goes for many other artists.

The single is a horrible flop release. Maybe that's why the sales are so low.

Kinda low... The promotion did seem kinda bad, I wouldn't know since I don't live in Japan but she's only performed on 2 shows, and the is this LOVE? PV didn't even air yet.. I think it could definitely be because of the songs as well.. Record sales as a whole seem to be low in Japan

The numbers are not that bad ... pretty good considering the market. And it's the first day only ... si I'm not worried at all.

The thing I'm wondering though is since mnW is a recut, if the PV will be in her next album/DVD collection. Then again you never know.

For Ayu, yes, the numbers are relatively low. But for Japan in general these numbers are pretty good. I think, regardless of promotion or not, we'll see a steady climb for at least a week or two.

She's on tour, isn't she? It's a little hard to promote travelling around Japan...

think it's not a really great first day sales..but it's not bad at least it has a same number with BoA first week so it's not that bad
but i'm really dissapointed with avex trax that not have any promotion about this single..i don't see a pics billboard, there is just one magz (popteen) that give review about this single, there is no CM, there is just two performance on tv and the other stuff to promote her new single. I don't know why it can be happen.i think this single is REALLY POWERFUL and i like the song VERY MUCH and the pv is REALLY GREAT. It's one of her BEST single..
but why avex do this? i don't understand at all and feel really upset after seeing the sales number
i hope the number will rise..being positive thinking is really hard right now but let's hope the best
(My head is full of question "WHY..WHY..WHY?")
