Personally, i feel that the charts aren't doing so well overall. Let's hope some big artist like Ken Hirai comes out with another "Hitomi wo tojite" and sells a million since Sakura is barely hitting the million mark.
But still, Ayu is doing extremely well for someone who's out for a while and it seems that 2005 will be her year once again unless Utada Hikaru pulls another FIRST LOVE on us, which is highly possible since i read something on the UTADA board about her returning back to Japan and is already working on a new single, which is rumored to be out this late summer or something.
So, basically, i think Ken Hirai and Utada Hikaru can really change the shape of the sales.
