[CHARTS + SALES] >>30th No.1 Single<< Mirrorcle World - ORICON STYLE Thread 4

[njanjayrp]

glitter didn't really fit the general mood of GUILTY but it was still there. Mirrorcle World will end up on the new album for sure. The only song I am really sad it didn't make it on Duty was ever free , and yeah I was glad she left out two of us as well ^^ And Ayu made Secret a full length album, AVEX originally announced a Mini one, remember. Ayu has turned to more rock oriented music when she started composing songs, it was only natural that eventually it would come to an album that consists of more rockish songs. though I guess (miss)understood was influenced with sweetbox so Ayu has leaned on the other side for a while, else I think it would end up as another rock oriented album. I love her rock music, and I'll be ok with whatever she decides to do, as long as she remains who she is ^^

[Ayumiko]

yea...ever free was a great song...it really was too bad it wasn't in duty.

MW didint in top 100 means it's in top 200.. rank 100 on oricon for this week sold 900 copies more, so MW would sell less than 900,

[slavomiros]

15 *,189,926 ***,826 Mirrorcle World / 浜崎あゆみ 08/04/08

I don't know the position but the sales for the 9th week are 826 copies.
MW is so far the 15th best selling single of 2008.

[TITANIC]

yaiiy.. it drops 200 copies from last week
74 copies more to 190K

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

best selling?

[Lanz16]

^ She means that comparing to the GUILTY's singles and its performance is the best this year. It defeated the "Startin'/Born To Be...", "gliter/fated", and "talkin' 2 myself" final sales.

That's why she said that this is her best selling single so far.


@Empry

Thanks for the latest ranking! ^^,

[MissElin_]

Yeah offcourse I didnt meant for all of her singles. Thx for clearing it up for me Lanz16! ^^

oh.. thanks for clearing me up

14 *,190,565 ***,738 BURN-フメツノフェイス- / B'z 08/04/16
15 *,189,926 ***,826 Mirrorcle World / 浜崎あゆみ 08/04/08

GO GO GO MW......

[Lanz16]

@riozz and @MissElin_

No problem!

MW needs about 700 copies this week to outsold BURN!

I never really got why Ayu always releases her albums in December time nowadays. What's wrong with a Summer album release in 2009?

[Melon Panda]

She's released her albums around Christmas time for the last couple of years, so it's become something of a tradition for her. It's also kind of neat to have her album "end" the year or "begin" the year - maybe that's what she's going for?

^ You're probably right. I would just think it'd make it way easier for Ayu to release things at her own pace, instead of feeling pressured to release 3 singles and an album in one year.

Yeah, it's weird~ I'm so used to the "1-album-per-year" idea that my head is programmed to think, "Wow, with AT08 lasting so long, how will she ever get the time to release the singles and the album in just 1 year?"
It would be a lot easier for her to take it slowly a bit, I hope she doesn't feel like she's betraying her fans if she takes longer to realease things o____O
But, I think 2008 is an exception. I'd be ok with just pushing the album release to the next year at any other time, but since this is the 10th anniversary, it would be strange if she doesn't come up with a special anni celebration album. (or for the album celebrating her anniversary year to be released in a different year)
