At least she's definitely going to be #1 weekly...

she definitely will outsell Hey ! Say ! JUMP in the long run I feel , she already cleared about 130K+ in the 1st 3 days

HSJ's 1st week album sales was about 156k+

so pretty <3

[KarenPang]

^ I recall someone saying that for the AKB48 album , it was reissue which probably explained why YUI was able to get #1

Anyway , front & back covers of the album , Taiwan press / CD + DVD wise





omg so pretty *__*

I can't wait to get my copy somewhere later this week

[KarenPang]

I think it's natural/expected that her sales are not going to be fantastic as they once were

especially since physical CD sales have been decreasing as each year goes by it's not funny at all

at least she was #1 which was more important

As I said before, I thought AKB48 would get #1, but when YUI got #1 and I asked about the status of AKB48's album release, it was sort of a re-release, so that's why YUI got #1, and not surprising that it sold more copies than Ayu's #1 single (MOON/blossom) because of promotion and its notability that she hasn't released an album for over two years! (Back to I LOVED YESTERDAY in April of 2008...)

[KarenPang]

erm hello why did you bring MOON / blossom into the picture ?!

MOON / blossom is a single while HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN is an album so it's natural for an album to sell more than a single , with a few exceptions to the case

AKB48's album is a reissue so it's quite obvious that usually reissues of material will not sell well as the 1st release

Nah, HSJ! won't be any threat. She's already almost past their first week sales in 3 days and we all know Johnny's albums drop like a brick.

Things are looking great for the Yui.

i love the first one the most! her shirt is really nice

[Amrai-chan]

I really want to get HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN but the CD+DVD version is 40 dollars and the overseas press YesAsia is carrying is CD only. Boo.

[dreamland2.0]

^They haven't added Hong Kong version yet. There will be a CD+DVD of that I'm sure, it just isn't out yet I believe.

[KarenPang]

HMV HK already uploaded links for both presses for HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN

http://www.hmv.com.hk/search/search_...AYS+IN+THE+SUN

the CD + DVD they're selling is Taiwan press . I checked the catalogue no. against the Taiwan press that's why it's pricey without shipping included

I ordered my copy from 5music Taiwan -> http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=431445678785

it was shipped out on Fri on the same release date as Taiwan . If you need my help to order it on your behalf , let me know Maria

[Amrai-chan]

^ Ah. Hmm okay. I'll wait and see if YesAsia updates but if they don't I'll try and get it that way and if I need help with it I'll go to you thanks a lot Karen

ok xD but I should warn you it will take a while for YesAsia to get the HK presses for HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN up

even HMV HK have them listed up already at their end while the Taiwan press was already out last Fri

but anyway like what I said , if you need my help to get it for you via 5musicTaiwan , do not hesistate to let me know

[AyuGAME]

finally i finished hear all song from her new album....
sorry to say that this is my least fav album from YUI...i don't know why...but i just like about 2-3 songs in this album, and most of it is coming from her single...the album tracks not really appealing to me...

but i'm happy that she still get number one position on weekly chart

[nanakopy87]

hmm,i've surveyed and found out that play-asia offer the cheapest price among all(at least for me,because i can enjoy free shipping from play-asia)

That's about 100k lower in its first week than what both Can't buy my Love and I loved Yesterday sold, but since it's been two years that's really to be expected.

Great sales! (I was secretly hoping she'd beat Ayu though XD)

[NintendoHTF1242]

Kind of surprised she beat AKB48 haha

(even more surprised that Kana's 2nd original album beat MONKEY MAJIK's 2nd best album :O)

[Beauty4123]

that back cover is so cute!

and the first week sales really look great! it'll break 200k in no time

[mellody]

But don't you think that points is somewhat low for her first week sales?

Look at previous records :
