exactly, if Kuu's sales keep up and Ayu is threaten, Avex will do something for Ayu like MW so her sales will up and benefit for Avex

[shizukanaotoko]

Love kuu too but ayu's gotta win this battle! Guess I'll be buying the single this week after all by the way, what do you mean "like MW"? What did avex do to boost its sales and what was the situation in general?

From what I've understood, the situation with MW was that a boy band (Shuchishin) took people by surprise when they threatened to get #1 weekly instead of Ayu. During that weekend avex started promoting the single with offering special posters or something with the CD to rise sales. In the end, MW managed to scrape up enough sales to surpass Shuchishin, but it was a close call.
The whole debacle can be read in the old Oricon threads for MW. Most specifically this one: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72515
(yes, I actually go back to read through old threads to learn the details about all these big Ayu-debacles)
(Ooh, AHS is crashing. Something interesting going on?)

^True... Then I wouldn't know xD



I wonder if this is going to make ayu's overzealous fans in Japan to buy crossroad like crazy tomorrow??

[ayumisrael]

Probably just the fanclub mu-mo version's sales of kuu's single were added to today's sales.
If so then her sales should be normal tomorrow.

[roanmy]

^Probably not. Someone on JPM said that the increase in sales might be because the mu-mo editions shipped now, and I think that sounds plausible.

[fuawas]

I'm happy for Kuu ^^ She might not be #1 weekly, but at least she'll be #1 a few days.
And crossroads sales are really good!! I'm impressed.. I thought it'd sell like MOON/blossom or less

[AyUmIXx]

woww congrats to Kuu!!
the 4th day sales is totally a BIG JUMP!
woww...surprisinggg!

hwaiting Ayu! Kuu!

[~angel*ayumi~]

the no 1 streak....
Does 1st day or 1st week count for that?

I think Ayu´s sales might go up again abit next week, I guess many ppl want to buy the 2 singles together. I also did both in one order from TA Shop.

I think it's not about the position she is rite now. Rather, it's about kuu's sudden magical boost. From what I remember, when she got no. 2 for s/s or M/b, the daily difference between her sales and no. 1 single wasn't that big.

Again, the special version of suki dex3 may be the reason for kuu's boost. Hopefully her momentum will not continue tomorrow.

[Lee^ChaN]

don't worry guys, ayu already secured her #1 streak
maybe fans are preparing for L

[ayumisrael]

On another note, ayu had a really small drop today! That's awesome. =D

[AyumiBest]

The drop isn't so bad and I think Ayu will get no. 1 weekly anyways so there's nothing to worry about.

[AyumiAi]

heres praying kuu doesnt beat ayu
but ayu's drop was only 1,000 which is really good!

[sanzo2011]

No ! i don't want to see Ayu at#2 ! hope she can clim back to #1 tomorrow !~~!

[brener]

I still can't believe that.. ayu need an increase like that!! I'm really hopping ayu sales climb up tomorrow or on the next days..

the FC versions has 2 batches. one is shipped BEFORE release date, and the other is ship on 24th, then there's the limited charms versions which are shipped on 24th.

the increase of the sale should be for the FC versions and te charms versions.

[polka-dot-jewel]

Wasn't Ayu also #2 during most of the week when Mirrorcle World was released? Thanks to huuuuuge first day sales, she was able to keep the streak then! Like some people said, Kuu being #1 for one day was probably due to the new version released by mu-mo. I'm sure everything will be fine with Ayu keeping the streak
