YAY! GO, AYU! It's good news.

gakkun · #14 9th August 2005, 10:23 AM

Congrats to ayu. =D and it's 172,000 not 170,200.

Qsenwill · #15 9th August 2005, 10:38 AM

good job

happytoadstool · #16 9th August 2005, 10:54 AM

wow congrats ayu!!! was expecting something closer to 200,000 sales about three weeks ago but with the competition she is facing this week (tons of popular artists have singles out this week, may it be their first second or third week in the market), this is still great! It beat Step you/Is this Love's sales by quite a huge margin and her previous single didn't have as much competiton to face as this one.
And she already has the record for most top 10 singles by a female artist!!! Yay!

jasonrey: Thank you for the translation, but it's actually "Seiko Matsuda"

Great number but I expected more with all the hype around this single...
