this album is great but I can't say I will like it better than its predecessor First Message and Sing to the sky. too many low tempo songs in the album.

I love

Akai Sora
The beginning
HIKARI

(Update on my package status: Earlier tonight my copy has arrived in the U.S.A.! But it appears that it went to San Francisco before going to Seattle, because SFO has mail customs facilities (which the package is in right now) while SEA does not...

It appears that every time whenever I order anything from Japan through EMS, they go through SFO first before continuing into SEA... I have a feeling that it could come to my house either Wednesday or Thursday...)

^ My copy went to Alaska first and now it's in Memphis, TN. Usually my orders stop in San Francisco or go straight to Memphis from Japan. So long as I get it, I'll be happy.

I had hoped the numbers would be higher but this is ok for now.

It's FedEx. I kind of did a huh? when I saw Anchorage, AK on the online tracker. Now my order has departed Memphis and headed to me! And I'll actually be home to sign for it.

EDIT: Weeeeee! It's at the destination sort facility in my hometown! Can't wait!

that's pretty good number for an album that only 2 songs being promoted and don't forget this is indie. I'm quite sure it will sell more than JAPONESQUE

I'M ADDICTED TO AYAKA'S NEW ALBUM! Seriously, I can't stop listening to it. The melodies are beautiful and ayaka's voice is as great as ever!
And I love that she wrote and composed all the songs herself!

My TOP5 from this album:

*Hajimari no toki
*HIKARI
*Sora yo onegai
*THIS IS THE TIME
*Yasashii ao

GREAT job, ayaka!!

considering this's an idle release & not released via Warner Music Japan anymore , expectations should be lowered now when comes to sales

anyway I will be receiving my copy of The beginning tomorrow . I usually get items that I ordered via HMV Japan 1 day after the release date x)

Sales aren't bad considering everything. I'm sure it will have a long chart run

makes me glad that I'm receiving The beginning as a late birthday gift because I seriously am not impressed at the packaging & be it the photobook that doesn't have any photos of ayaka -.-

Frankly if not for my friend that's so kind to get the album for me , I would have bought CD only with regards to ayaka's awesome comeback album

didn't help the DVD only had just 1 PV on Hajimari no Toki too :x

Album is pretty solid ...I feel like it over all is a very quiet album compared to her other ones. I think my favorites so far are はじまりのとき, The beginning, HIKARI, and やさしい蒼. I am still getting used to the album but I do enjoy how soothing the music is...not to mention ayaka's oh so beautiful voice to accompany it . Oh and 37k on the first day is not that bad at all considering she is now indies & has been gone for a couple years. I hope she can keep this good pace going!
