Good for me then

This new single of Ayu will be strong!

I'm sure, that she can beat Arashi!!

[MissElin_]

Yeah I wonder... Even if it's ARASHI's seccond week and all... This will be interesting indeed.

[pepper]

This thread is full of.. Arashi. ;D

[truehappiness]

and her summer single sales have been dropping with each release; but now with 4 versions, who knows?

And sales in general have been dropping every year. It's not like it's just Ayu who is selling less. Though Sunrise did way better than most of her other summer songs when it came to digital sales. Oh, she also skipped out on summer for whatever reason in 2008. It's nice to know that Rock'n'Roll Circus' gap is so much smaller than most other acts who have decreasing sales. I wonder what the final number will be~

(The last few Oricon weeks for singles and albums have been terrible! But things are also kind of shaky in America too, haha. Apparently last week for Billboard / Soundscan was the lowest week for total albums ever recorded since it started?)

On a positive side, Ayu's single sales don't always go down, which is a good thing. She most likely skipped the single for summer 2008 cuz of the tour plus the fact A COMPLETE was released in September~

i propose we keep the original first post, and then lock it, and provide a link to another thread with the same thread title but located in the chat thread so we can talk about it, and anyone that wants to see what we're talking about can go to the first original post and notice the link which links to the 1 post, locked thread in the ayu music news section.

I read that too. The United World Charts have also broken the record of "lowest no. 1" twice in a row fairly recently.

So nice to know it's not just the Japanese industry that's failing! XD

I think people are overreacting with the sales thing :S If Arashi's new single was a problem, Avex would have changed the release date, I think.

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ Yup. If for some reason avex believe ARASHI is a significant threat, you best believe they'll cop out. XD Sad, but true. But either way, this will still be close, I'm sure. So I'm interested in seeing how far off the sales will be.

[KarenPang]

well single sales for Johnny's generally nosedive a great deal especially 2nd week onwards

you can have a single that sold 500K & above in the 1st week but probably 40K-60K in the 2nd week

I'm sure MOON / blossom is able to pull though but like what I said before , nobody has mentioned whether Himuro Kyosuke-san might be a threat to her ? :O

then again his new single will only be released in 2 editions ...

Yeah, if you don't want to read discussion and only want info then might as well not even visit here and only go to her official site.

this is the music news section, if you want to talk about it so bad, start up a thread about it in the ayu chat section.

The music news section isn't just a place to post news and not discuss though. I don't think it has ever been that way.

[AyuWorld]

hehe,ok now

for me i im really anticipating MOON PV beacause when im listen to it i got the feel of ASfXX style but i didnt say that MOON sounds similar to ASfXX~~

but we didnt have the PV for ASfXX just a short one right?so yeah waiting for MOON PV and hope we'll ger something new and fresh!

Do we seriously need one thread in the news section and then another thread in the chat-room to discuss...? That's ridiculous.
