[Charts & Rankings] Days/GREEN ORICON SALES THREAD

[njanjayrp]

When it comes to sales, again, compared to others Ayu doesn't have a problem. She still sells really decent, after all this time, and ocassionally has a hit song (BLUE BIRD, Together When and now Days) I am quite happy with how things are going considering that Ayu's music is heading the less mainstream way most of the time.

[Max_ZZZ]

maybe it's better, now Mirrorcle World can shine as her 10th anniversary single lol

and plus, what if, WHAT IF!

for the 2 weeks after this... she racks up like 100K

WHOAAA i mean with new years and christmas and all ;D id be crying for joy lol

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

It's been 4 days (remember, Japan is a day ahead) since the release of GREEN/Days and Days still isn't up for download on iTunes The song that's supposedly her new hit is missing.

107,851 and it's been 4 days! Go Ayu

[hikaricore]

Seriously, Everyone
Ayu's sales are very good, compared to Hikki and Kuu, they're amazing.
STOP COMPLAINING!

[bluegie]

Probly I'm used to ayu's rushed release, so I didn't feel that rush when she did B&D-->(m)u-->Startin'. It's kinda normal to me actually lol . Also, ayu was already in a stable state (in terms of her popularity). It's the music choice (B&D) that hurt ayu's future sales because somehow it scared the Japanese away .

Kuu, on the other hand, has just begun her fabulous diva career, and I don't really think she should have released Cherry Girl. Also, I think avex revealed the release of Black Cherry too soon. I remember that (m)u wasn't announced until it was close to the release date of B&D. Black Cherry was technically announced right after Cherry Girl had been announced.

Hahahaha As funny as this it, it really is true! I really don't know why the Japanese couldn't accept it, especially with the stuff Namie puts out. Not saying i don't like Namie, love her, but if Namie is putting out Western influenced stuff why can't Ayu??

[njanjayrp]

Yeah, it seems that RZ always likes to announce everything they have months before the actual release XD

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^ I don't why. B&D gave Ayu a sound I've never heard from her, is full of energy and life, and still has a pop sound that doesn't make it totally out there.

[MissElin_]

Thx for the update. Even if the sale numbers surpice me a little. I thought this was going to get better sales then MW... lol.

I do like Bold & Delicious, but a lot of people seem to get really scared with all the yayagagadadawowo going on there XD not to metion her crazy dancing on the PV xD

[darc_aqua]

the sales are dropping like crazy

[ayumisrael]

^And don't forget that ayu can do that without drama/anime tie-ins which throws 1000 versions to trash =P
Also without the drama tie-ins/anime hikki's sales would be cracked. Tops her singles (FoL, BW/K&C) would do exatly like her singles in 2006 or even less.

IA. Having more than two covers help (although tbh a lot of top artist are doing it nowadays so it's not like a "new" stunt) but FoL had amazing exposure and promotion.

Anyways it's sad to see such a big drop, but honestly this is very very good. It's almost to T2M sales so that's good.

Actually hikki has a very strong digital sales with most of the singles (tie ins or not). It's just that with tie ins, her physical sales will be stronger.

Was it ever explained how MW's sales indexes increased significantly in the last two days of the first week? Was it just like a weekend rush or something?

She had two concerts that weekend and they sold the single outside of the venue, so I guess that's why the MW sales boosted as much as they did

[ayumisrael]

^Weekend rush + sudden promotion and gifting/gifting at the tour.
MW also had 7 days for its first week Days/GREEN will have 6.

then are we having a huge absence of a weekend rush?

Woo~ over 60k.

Great sales. I think the TV promotion is helping her, especially for an artist that is considered to have "no casual fans".
