Day 5: #5 (#3 place sold 1,483)

Total: 32,850 + ?

Sales must be somewhere between 35k~38k

Oh. My. God. That is absolutely shocking to me. I honestly would have never expected that a popular artist like Koda could have almost 80% of sales take place on the first day of release then next to nothing afterward.

I'm sticking to my guns that this album will top out in mid-45k to 50k range, if it even gets that far. What's sad is I bet this album will stay in the Top 100 for maybe 3 weeks.

Do we have any clue what the Japanese reviews were for the album? Do you guys think a bunch of people bought it on the first day, said it was really bad, so people just decided to not buy it after hearing others' bad reviews?

If you take a look at japanese amazon, reviews are quite good so far.
