That's barely more than BoA's last album sold babes.
EDIT: I believe these are soundscan numbers, not ORICON.
And besides, this is only half the ORICON week, so Ayu still might not get #1. Keep your fingers crossed, everyone!

Guys these charts are wrong.
We know from the daily charts that Kobokuro sold at least 147,000 from their first 4 days, however these charts say they sold 142k for the WEEK.
Leads me to believe they used Sound Scan, and only counted 1 edition.
Therefore I think it's safe to say Ayumi probably won't be getting ORICON #1
Hope this isn't too confusing :\
EDIT: This means that Ayumi sold more than 202,000 as her CD only edition wasn't counted. Of course, this means the same for kobukuro, but their sales are more balanced between the 2 editions, and Ayumi's CD editions always chart A LOT lower than the DVD edition on Sound Scan...
We won't know for sure until Monday when ORICON is published, all the above is speculation, but when you think about it... it makes sense!

I'm anxious to see whats spot she'll land on oricon

I think it's good tho that they don't shy away from a challenge and release when no one big is releasing at the same time. Kobukuro are huge, their collection album released at 2006 is still charting with like 2.5 million copies sold.
