Yeah, I have a feeling Ayu's dominace era is over...

Fans who care about chart positions are getting frustrated with those idols (Johnny's, including ARASHI, even though the members are starting to go to the 30s, as well as the young AKB48 girls) and other young up-and-coming musicians...

Her reign was over quite some time ago. You guys shouldn't be sad. She's had a great run at the top.

In saying that, she has had some moments of gold with sales in her sales decline, for example FIVE, without any significant promotion. And pretty much all of her sales are coming off the back of small-scale promotion and her reputation, musical output and/or dedicated fanbase only, which is pretty impressive in itself.

LOVE is a pretty strong release, with her typical Ayu sound throughout which the Japanese love. Don't count out some sales magic yet.

I think she should take a break for about a year.... For me, it's too much releasing and not enough promo the last time. So none of her songs stays in my mind since Surreal or MW for example.... I don't want the old Ayu back, but please her old kind of promotion!

Pfff... Ayumi's sales are low... FIVE sold 50,000+ the 1st day...
Year by year, her sales drop more and more...

Anyway, to be honest I was afraid of BENI due to the long chart run of her previous cover album. It was selling mildly to low every week but had (and maybe still has) a very good longevity and chart run. I thought that people that steadily bought 200,000 copies would all together buy the follow-up cover album within the 1st weeks... Hmmm...

imo I did LOVE did better than expected on the 1st day . It's already known early that it would be facing competition from JUJU's 2 best albums & also from BENI's COVERS 2

Besides , ayumi already made it clear that this release of 5 back to back monthly releases are not done to get #1's but rather it's to thank every single fan of her for supporting her during all this time

With regards to ARASHI , in recent times their album selling power has strengthen a great deal . Wouldn't surprise me if Popcorn will hover in the top 5 in the 2nd week

What were JUJUs first day sales? These are second day sales for JUJU right? I believe JUJUs were released a day prior.

This is completely irrelevant to what you said, but when the page loaded, I saw your sig and avatar and I JUMPED IN FEAR XD
I was like 'WHAT IS THA OMG?!' Then I realized it was ASB Ayu... :p
It was just looking at me so weirdly, those pics.

On topic: I think Ayu will do just fine.

Hope for equal sales tomorrow.
