HEAVEN edges closer to HELL...

[syntherella]

It is disappointing to know Ayu did not debut on top, but I think HEAVEN is a great single and nothing is going to change the fact it is. I hope Ayu does not feel discouraged but rather continues to experiment with different styles of music to bring out the best of her talent.

[Annabelle]

Didn't I predicted G&J&J to be on top?

[Choyan]

^ must be~ >.> I think fairyland was suppose to be due for release around the same time as INSPIRE last year, but this year, a lot Avex artist were releasing in July so that's maybe why XD....

still...number 3 already!!?! XD

In ten years time, some of you will look back on this and see how ridiculous you guys were being over silly rankings. Some of you guys are nearly at the level of those fanatical Harry Potter geeks.

Haha, well, don't worry ... I know people are really surprised at the sales and are freaking out! But I can understand ... I mean afterall the first and second singles are from artistes that I think most people don't know of. So they think "How can HEAVEN lose to that!"

Personally, I think the underlying thing is that yup, HEAVEN is a good single and that's that! I really hope that it can get to number one when SHINOBI is released! Yup, just seeing HEAVEN secure the no. 1 position would be really good! But even if it does not, it's still a good single! So don't need to lose faith just because HEAVEN hasn't gotten number 1!

Remember ... fairyland bounced back from #18 to #14 even such a long time after it was released! So don't worry, let's hope it'll be back up again!

This whole chart week's crazy. It's a three-way race for the No. 1, I guess. However after next week it will be virtually impossible for "HEAVEN" to be No. 1, because of Utada. And voltron is right, remember from "M" to "UNITE!"? All released within six weeks from each other. And "Voyage" did great although it was release eight weeks after the mega-hit "H".

utada is releasing her single on the 28 ~~ so there is still a chance for heer to be number 1 next week
but ai otsuka is releasing a new single .. so ~~ just wait n see

Put it this way: Gorie is a very established veteran in the Japanese entertainment industry. Obviously Ayu can't hold a candle to him.

And you guys really need to stop sounding like it's the end of the world if Ayu gets anything else other than #1.

omg...

[fallen_crystal_h]

Woah!!!! This IS TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT I'LL GET A GOOD NEWS ABOUT HEAVEN BECOME NO.1 BUT WHEN I JUST SIGN IN, ..........(speechless)

[kinix]

So many source of mp3s even before it were release if I wasnt a hardcore ayu fan I wouldnt buy the single @ all!

Gah. There’s always 3 types of people in this thread:

1) The optimistic: “Look at it this way! At least she’s in the Top 5.”
2) The pessimistic: “OMG! This is the end of the world and we’re all gonna diiiie”
3) The cynicist: “Why are you all acting like it’s the end of the world? OMFG GET OVER YOURSELF K.”

None of them are all that good to be. I, myself, am usually number 1 because I’d rather her be in top 5 than number 11 or number 12. The ones that are the worse are number 3 though. You know why? Because they criticize people about “freaking out” over Ayu not having #1, but then THEY themselves freak out over others freaking out. So generally, they’re hypocrites. There is nothing wrong with people thinking it’s the end of the world; they’re dedicated and expect Ayu to do better. But what really steams me is when people say that we’re comparable to “Harry Potter freaks” because we’re a bit upset that Ayu doesn’t get the #1 spot she deserves.

We don’t all think it’s “the end of the world” but disappointment is inevitable. That does not make us comparable to “Harry Potter freaks”: it just makes us dedicated to what we like, and if you were that dedicated you would feel the same way.

Anyway, congrats Ayu! So high for just coming out~ Especially since the movie isn’t even out yet.

Then there is the fifth type of person who has their "holier-than-thou" attitude claiming to be better than the rest...


Honestly, it doesn't matter what ranking Ayu is. Hell, she can be ranked #7 for all I care, and it wouldn't make any difference. She could probably still sell better than the other singles.

Look at sales, not rankings.

[*Petit*]

I think this singles MIGHT sell a lot totally because it might not drop as fast as usual ayumi releases, It might even move upwards in the chart when the movie is being aired.

THANK YOU!


yea...ppl r really starting to annoy me-> they're "oh no! ayu's not #1, the worlds coming to an end!" i mean, get a life. u ppl r far too dramatic. i doubt that ayu would even care whether she gets #1 or not. if this so, then u shouldnt care either

I, myself, am a cynicist, (unfortunately) But looking at the responses in page 1 you can kind of understand why people would want to tell the number 2's to calm the hell down.

I agree with mmskalnn (Is that who said it?) That there are other artists, maybe less known, that can come out on top.

Don't worry about it. Remember no one has to like what you like, and the japanese people that bought single x over single y shouldnt be "unforgiven for all ETERNITY !!11111111111 "

well out of these three i am definately a no.2....

Ayu lost her no.1 rank of singles~~~~ and i thought heaven will definately be no.1!!!! okay im thinking positively now...heaven will be no.1 tomolo ^_____^"

and the title of this thread is very depressing this was like the last thread i read out of the "news" section

what about the people that just don't care about what rank she is? ... so there's at least 4 different types of people.
