[2006] Complete Weekly Sales Data for some Ayu albums..

[truehappiness]

I hope Ayu gets a game tie-in soon again..

Nowadays it'd be funky... since last one we got was Depend on you D:~~

How much would it sell.. hm..

[Mad_Cactuar]

^ Correction, Rainy Day. That was a tie-in, only not a single.

[truehappiness]

Ah, Startin' and rainy day don't count, as I own that game. XD T__T

/switches game tiein to anime tie-in.

I like seeing ayu's music to timed animation <3

[Mad_Cactuar]

Dearest? Eww. I'll never get over her making that song. And that PV.
But her game tie-ins are good (Depend On You) and godly-immortal-rejuvenating (Rainy day).

[truehappiness]

There was no more words too~ aka gold. >3<

[Mad_Cactuar]

^ Interestingly, I hate that as much as Dearest. I dunno, I should listen to it again.

If she released Rainy Day as a single and had a PV starring Takuya Kimura/Takeshi Kaneshiro, I think it might have a shot at a million.

By the way, I made the 200th post. <3 I can't believe this thread has gotten so out of hand.

[truehappiness]

Well, the lyrics of the song are amazing as well as the composition-y ness. XD

The title fits so well <3 'no more words' <3

[Mad_Cactuar]

Um, if this is directed toward me, why don't you just say so? I apologize if it isn't.

Oh god no, not you, just Anthony cos he loves Ayu too much. One day, he will see Ayu's face without make up and he'll hate her forever.

Oh, sorry then. I should warn you, though, that I tend to love Ayu too much too. Hehe. But I won't be all obsessive-defensive.

And I personally don't think Ayu will look bad without make up on. I can easily imagine her without it.

[Mad_Cactuar]

Wow, we all like Ayu songs but our choices contrast. I think Rainy Day is so awesome, the best Ayu song ever. Together with Rainbow and STEP you. And I can bet there's 21984712487 who disagree with this. And that makes this place beautiful.

With a title like that, I'd expect her to shut up for the entire duration of the song. Not that I hate her or anything, but wow I hate that song. It's so very weak to me. I need more listens I guess..

Don't worry, same here, except the Ayu=obsession wore off a little, replaced with Mika-ness.

There's no need to be mean

That's my experience with a lot of Ayu songs. I need time to let them sink in. Ourselves took me three years to appreciate. Maybe the same thing will happen with Startin' and Step You? But that's just me.

I reserve my hate for songs by "artists" like The Cheeky Girls. Heh. Hate is such a strong word

[Mad_Cactuar]

Ok, dislike sounds milder and nicer and easier to change. I dislike some Ayu songs, especially Dearest, No More Words, and some My Story tracks. Hate is reserved for Humming 7/4, blasphemy. I think the more songs you have, the higher the chance for a song people might not like.

Ourselves was a 3-listen-wonder for me.

Haha, I can understand your hate for Humming 7/4. But Lord help me I love that song, along with Bold & Delicious

Well, in my case, how I react to music in general is usually in flux. I will like a song at some point, and then feel apathetic towards it, and then like it again. Or I'll dislike a song intensely (Hikki's Colors), and then suddenly fall in love with it. It's a very irrational process, but I think it keeps things interesting

I'm not that crazy over Ourselves at the moment. It's a lot of on-again, off-again. But time will tell.

By the way, I think we've officially veered away from the topic at hand...

So, I think the next single will sell as much as Blue Bird, but I don't think it will sell as well as last year's batch. Sign of the times. I'm crossing my fingers that it isn't released on September. It would be fun if Ayu came out with something on October. I don't think she's ever released an October single since For My Dear...

[LacusClyne]

^wasn't the Panasonic cm coming up at Sept? so there's a chance that ayu will either release at the end of sept or beginning of oct.

[truehappiness]

Uemara-san just hopes that she might release in October..

Hopefully she releases earlier.. :]

[Maemi]

Wow, thanks... @__@

The LOVEppears cover is good and provocative, but she's more photoshopped there than on the S/S covers.

thank you for speaking up. i refrained from replying because it would make me seem defensive. but lol... i really don't see how zyoeru could consider loveppears heavily photoshopped... and I REALLY can't see how they would think loveppears is more photoshopped than sunrise cover?!
