I really, really want to download these but this stupid site isn't going to let me. Is there any possibility for someone to upload these to MEGA or mediafire? Those would work perfectly fine for me, and I really want to listen to these because First Love is a awesome album~ ;_;

Yeah, I downloaded it, but it wouldn't let me extract it. Damn. lol

Thanks anyway! I'm sure they'll pop up somewhere sooner or later! I'm surprised they're not on JPOPSUKI yet.

These are the Sales for one Day ...

Oricon Sales from 03/03 - 03/09 - 10677

Release Date was 03/10


But i think this Album won't be a big hit ...

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I wouldnt say its a flop, but let's face it. It's A REALLY OLD album, and if it did really sell SO WELL that it got the top selling album of all time in JPOP than chances are probably most people already have the original. Also, TBH, but some of the remixes and a small live performance isn't enough that I'd personally bother with this new re-release.

[Delicious n Bold]

Well lightning never strikes the same place twice, so...

^Aren't the sales from 2 days? Well the limited edition was limited to 10k copies so it only sold 667 copies of regular editions o.O

Ayu's re-releases (Only new thing were remixes) sold at least 20k each

The limited edition is limited to 15,000 copies, not 10,000!

When did ayu re-released stuff? Or you mean those early singles' re-releases? If so.. well they were released in ayu's prime time, and the fact that physical sales were still doing super back in the 2001. I dun think you can compare sales in 2001 with the ones in 2014, that's just so unrealistic.

Back to First Love's sales. I never expect it would do great since it's just a re-release with the company adding some "goodies" which they just found in the recycle bin (I won't say.. garbage bin... lol). If she's as popular as AKB rite now, probly this album can sell 100K more. But she's not, and as a fact that this is an old album (15 years ago), getting 10K sales in four days is good enough. Look at some other active artists such as kuu, ayu, etc, and I consider this is actually a success.

I never pay attention to what's some tie-in, so most I never even remember except maybe Hikari & Passion due to SOOOO MANY people I knew always playing Kingdom Hearts and just playing the songs because they were in the games. I also do remember Ayu's Dearest on Inuyasha though, but only cause I knew someone that discovered it by watching Inuyasha and they were having a total obsession with the anime. Also, I don't recall Ayu re-releasing any of her albums....


As for Hikki's First Love, I don't know what to say really about the sales. I've never really understood the Japanese music market or even people's interest on the whole over there... or here either.

[Andrenekoi]

It's the best selling album in Japanese history and everyone that was interested on having it probably already does. Nobody but you guys were actually expecting huge sales for this re-relase @_@

This is what I was guessing already.

I'm also not a fan of First Love (the song). I find it quite bland and uninspiring.

I can't stand the song nor the album as a whole.
