So it might be difficult to get #01 - or?

Here's what I've got based on CDJapan data: (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/release/idols/month/2014/10)

• French Kiss (AKB48 subunit) - Omoidasenai Hana
• Juice=Juice - Senobi / Datejyanainoyo Uchi no Jinsei wa
• Sexy Zone - Otoko never give up

Did you see that bold-italic-underlined material? That's a Johnny's. Sexy Zone - they're releasing a new single on that same day. And based on historical records that we've been keeping track of, they're pretty much a sure #1 for the week. There's no way Ayu's going to beat a Johnny's group! Ugh... More Johnny's idol domination...why do they (along with other Johnny's idols such as, obviously, ARASHI, SMAP, Kanjani8, Hey!Say!JUMP, Kis-My-Ft2, etc, as well as AKB48 and related) have to dominate the Oricon charts so often, leaving little or no room for other artists??? Ugh...

(And that's not even including Gackt either.)

Well, they are definitely selling what people want to hear. Maybe Ayu should become a Johnny's idol?...?

^All of them sell more than 30k, right, so ayu is not going to get a Top 3.
You must consider this is a recut single, so the sales are going to be lower (and there isn't any promo either).

Agreed. What about top five? Or top ten? Maybe it's possible that they could be out of either of these two... Most likely out of top five, but I'm saying top ten unless there are more releases that are more convincing than Ayu's...

[DogboyShugo]

A single release of XOXO with just an added remix? What a waste...

I'm not really excited about this release neither, but I think I'll end up buying it anyway lol

[BlackSilence]

lol i don't think GACKT's any competition either, his singles get in top 10 but he's nowhere near the top 5 even with all the promo he puts out there. I think the most of the competition is idol groups.

[SpiceSquad!]

truth hurts,

she's going to flop with this single. what a waste.

[Andrenekoi]

I'm pretty sure she isn't really expecting to sell over 1 million copies with a recut single...

That would be amazing though.

[KillTime111]

Happy to see a single coming. Where's the marketing for it? Hopeful it'll do alright.

I wonder if it will release on iTunes internationally. Colours has still yet to appear on iTunes USA and I would hate to miss this single.

Colours appeared on the Australian iTunes store smack bam at midnight Japan time on release date. It's now 1.40 in the afternoon here and it still hasn't appeared. I put more iTunes credit on and everything for this single so hopefully it appears soon!

Just wondering, we usually get leaks of pictures and mp3 rip on Friday-Saturday before the release date, and it's still no sign of HACKJACK Remix or booklet pictures... Hmmm...

i'll have to admit, i love the single cover but i do kind of wish it was a new single. it's not that i have a problem with re-cuts because i don't but with the album only being ten songs i'm kind of itching for new material already, plus both Terminal and XOXO were released with the special singles in the showcase before the album released.

oh well, still a pretty picture and i'm sure i'll end up buying it ^^
