I just read that Kumiko debuted at #1 with 143 K! That's just her first day! Aw....she's gonna surpass Ayu's 1st and 2nd week sales at this rate!

It was pretty obvious x_x nothing surprising and comparable, who cares XD.

^^ *sigh* feel bad for Ayu but gotta accept the truth "if"

I do!

I shouldn't be surprised or anything about Kuu's sales but I don't want it to surpass Ayu's first week sales [well, her combined sales] that fast. I'm starting to wonder how Hikki will do on the charts now.

[ayumisrael]

Yeah but as their sales are not really comparable as you know
It's like comparing kobukuro and kumi's =\ her album will never sell more than theirs.

Different artists, different popularitires, different peaks times, different promotions, different gimmicks, that's what sales about these years.

kumi debut with 143K?! wow..thats HUGE!!!
i thought kingdom is her worse album...i just like one song from that album...
OMG!!! can't believe it....

[Zemus]

Look at what that album includes. Doesn't it like have 2 DVD's and PV for every song. It's no surprise it sells well. You guys shouldn't care so much about it

Yeah, the gimmicks for that thing were insane.

I'd like to see Ayu try something like that for her next album, though --- it's all designed to encourage physical sales instead of digital so the album can get a higher debut.

[njanjayrp]

Well Ayu has more high budget PVs, while Kumi's are rather poor, at least Kingdom ones, but that was expected.And I think that we have to accept that Ayu isn't in her prime anymore, and that whatever she does might not be enough to get back to selling a million.I guess it's not that there is less people liking her, but just that she isn't a trend and that people prefer downloading her music. Plus Kingdom is mostly an album made of pure flops, and it will still sell good, cuz she has the attention, and 2 DVDs, as if the quality was always the best selling Shimatani (and a few others) would be near if not in the very top.

I know we should'nt be making a big fuss out of it BUT im really impressed with koda's first day's sales index!!

My eyes were wide open upon seeing this huge figure. lol

I liked a handful of them though..and i only dislike koda's new ballads in this album.

Oh by the i really hope to see GUILTY breaking the 600k sales figure

What do you mean by pure flops?

[Ayumiko]

koda's first day sales is alot...(congrats to her) but I'm not surprised. Kingdom is the most deluxe package I've ever seen for a album...so if it doesn't do well, I'll be surprised. I wonder if it will sell more than black cherry at the end.

album "fillers", songs that compared to the tracks that were released as singles don't stick out & don't seem good enough.Almost every Ku album had at least 3-4, besides 2nd Session of course.

Well though I hate the overly cute songs (they're not really famous among us foreighners) but her japanese fan girls die about her cute songs and Kingdom has 4!! But yeah most people here (I think) agree that the new songs aren't that amazing, they are just good enough to be better than previous Black Cherry's songs.

i actually, really, only like a few of the kingdom tracks. more, last angel, and koi no mashou (or somethin like that?) those are the only ones i like :-\ but i dont really care haha. its not surprising, not quite sure why people are surprised. we all know kuu is more popular currently, and it had a bajillion things more than guilty did. a pv for every song, a big poster, a concert--thats a lot better than just a photobook
