Shame for kuu the difference is so LOW, but at least good for ayu ^-^", one is already good.
kuu has a lot more stuff... I fear it will be kuu's last year at the top or maybe even 2nd on that list I guess... hopefully not, and I hope ayu will keep getting on top 1-5 there.

Looks like 7 million legal downloads really don't worth that much >_> where's hikki?

Wasn't it about revenue though and not about number of physical sales sold?

It would be nice if she'd been #1, but being #2 after so many years in the business is still an accomplishment.
