New singles Terminal & XOXO ~episode 2~

[TheRainbow]

I really wish a video had come out, however simple. The low sales are fine, it's probably been released to appease the few fans that kept hoping for it, but such poor effort for such a BIG song is disheartening.

Music is so much better when the environment evoked within the song matches your surroundings and other senses.

If you can't make it to the beach or something (it doesn't have the same effect if it's a crowded area), throw it on while laying outside enjoying the Rays of the sun. Sit back and escape within the soundscape.

That sounds awesome! I live in Miami, so definitely a good place for this mix apparently. I'm gonna go look around for it--thanks so much for the heads up! (Probably not gonna find it, but hopefully I do lol.)

I'm really not trying to pop any balloons here, but it's not exactly a feat to outsell a foreigner on [ANY JAPANESE] charts... they historically don't chart well.

Above that, it's really sweet that so many people bought A BEST when it went on sale. Any clue if A BEST 2 was included in the sale? A COMPLETE? A SUMMER BEST?

Get your facts right before talking, how it comes that it's not a feat to outsell Ariana Grande?

Her latest album debuted at #3 weekly, she has sold 196,377 copies in Japan this year and it's still charting, also she was on Music Station last week

Ariana Grande... A girl that looks 13 years old and emulates Mariah Carrey. Sorry, but this is essentially what sells in Japan when it's about foreigner singers.

Exactly. People are too dramatic.

Soooo I have a new phone now, I download the app.... but the app does not recognize the plugair <.<
maybe it rly is only available to japanese phones =/

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Oh that's so annoying!

[~angel*ayumi~]

I will try tomorrow, or better later (it´s 20 minutes after midnight here) all this "if it does not work try this" stuff, but now i am too tired for that <.<

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Good luck! And thanks!

People stop thinking of ayu carrer like it´s dead or something. I understand the sales of this single, It doesn´t even have a pv or even promotion. Singles of singers in japan like Namie or Kana Nishino have billboards over the cities, megazines, cm ties in, "a concept" or even "new" things. This is just a recut single. I wanna see your faces when ayu put a new single for a new album, it will obviously increase. BE POSITIVES

[~angel*ayumi~]

Sooooooo, i tried it again, and it rly seems it doesn´t work on european phones (at least not on mine, I have a galaxy s5 mini), sry guys =/

I whould have bought it anyways for collection... but it´s rly sad it doesn´t work outside Japan.

[Surreal17]

Great news for ayu! To top a monthly chart is a feat, no matter what people are saying.

Didn't someone mention in the previous thread that the limited edition XOXO single is only available for 6 months? Since it was released with Terminal I guess that means we only have till March to hear the XOXO remix before it's gone forever.

I can't believe this is how XOXO is being "promoted" LOL. It's not a big deal, but damn, I like collecting remixes.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Same here. I'm still hoping we'll get it at some point.
