oricon: (miss) understood 12th week sales

[ayu_fan929]

weekly sales: 3,425
total sales: 853,640
magic number: 146,360

this week vs. last week
Numerical (#) drop: -769 units
Percentage (%) drop: -18.34%

i dont think the tour is doing that well in helping her sales. its a greater drop than last weeks. i'll be happy if (m)u can get 900k...

[~X2RADialbomber~]

Ayu will never reach a million at this rate.

I knew that the tour wouldn't help sales. THe people going to the tour already bought it probably and went to the tour because they liked the music

[Raleigh]

Eh.. well. At least the drop is not so huge.

[Larisa-chan]

I predicted she would hit a million at the end of spring.. but I doubt that now

[Qt Mashi]

hmmm...thanks for the info....

[sexysaucestar]

It's slowing down drastically....

[elepop]

The album is reaching a milion really slowly...

[Zeke.]

I would have never guessed in a million years that this album would not reach 1 million or that it would have trouble in doing so. I didn't think she was dropping in popularity that much but I guess this is the start...

I LOVE YOU AYU!

[greggerz189]

^me too.

Well, Ayu doesn't have a chance in hell of reaching 1~million with (miss) now that Kuu's BEST~SS~ is out. Ayu's no competition for Kuu anymore. I'd be surprised if she hits 900k. Hopefully this is just a slump and the next album will hit 1~million.

I LOVE YOU AYU!

Or it could be that many people in Japan, like myself, think this album is one of her weakest.

[LacusClyne]

ahhh....there's still a very long way to go to 1 million....when will ayu reach it?

[CREA.tive]

thnx for the news

Which is what Koda Kumi's was, and one with a lot of crap if you know what I mean [a lot of stuff >>] for a low price. Obviously people would buy that over Ayu's album. :\

!_! Plus there was over 12 weeks of previous promotion for the whole 'BEST' album anyway sooooooo w/e. I wonder how Koda's next single will do >>

/faint

!! I agree with everything you've said :>
Thanks for sharing the sales info! ^.^

I can understand that this frustrates you.. but theres no need to get too snappy ._. ... lets all vow now to talk about koda kumi in here anymore >W<

and instead of whining about how its not going to get the million, lets celebrate the fact that its amongst the highest selling albums (particularly by female artists) this year.. and remember that that number is considered to be a very successful number in the music industry of today ^__^

[s1012h]

i have to agree that this album wasn't the most creative album by her
alot of the songs on this album were songs that were for SWEETBOX
but of course, ayu wrote her own lyrics to the music
hopefully ayu can drop a bomb with her next album, and set new records!
gooo ayu!

[bernardation]

i don't even think it is going to get 900k. but i don't see that as a problem !

[krishna]

Thanks for the info!
Still hoping this album will reach 1 million.

I'm with you, and I wrote a piece regarding this particular album and why, exactly, I find it to be one of Hamasaki's weakest. You can read it here.

[truehappiness]

Well, someone else mentioned her as well~ :p

'^me too.

Well, Ayu doesn't have a chance in hell of reaching 1~million with (miss) now that Kuu's BEST~SS~ is out. Ayu's no competition for Kuu anymore. I'd be surprised if she hits 900k. Hopefully this is just a slump and the next album will hit 1~million.'

I was just adding to that~ ... ish xD

I dunno.. A BALLADS took a hecka-long time to be 'one million' :\ But chill out. So what if I mention Koda? It really shouldn't matter to you so much >> Whatever. Don't care ~ Ayu~~ I hope she gets at least 900k in the next few months :O!
